Download or read book Lady Gemini Book 1 written by George Zidbeck and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The reading of Lady Gemini, Book 1, delighted me. Mr. Zidbeck uniquely and intimately morphs a young girl into a mature woman who faces and survives special challenges. Her progression from child to wife to mother tantalizes the reader by presenting events starkly and frankly; or with delayed revelations. As Rose evolves along her poignant journey, she rises through ever higher levels of rejection and setbacks. While heroic at all times, she can not forever disguise her vulnerability. I eagerly await Book 2. Will Rose persevere or falter?" -S. Richard Snodey, PE LLB Ph D, International Commercial Arbitrator "George Zidbeck gives us a gripping tale of a young woman who, trapped by culture and circumstances, endures a loveless marriage and a life unfulfilled. As he takes us along her journey from a naive teenager to a mature adult, we admire her perseverance. The way that she copes with her loneliness, her husband's alcoholism, her increasing use of alcohol, and their infidelities leaves the reader hungry to see what happens in Book 2 of Lady Gemini. This is a riveting read!" -Philip Stein, Chief of Operations, Ret., L.A. County Probation Department "George Zidbeck's first novel is a fascinating family saga that captures life in Panama during the mid 20th Century. Populated by compelling characters and told from an insider's perspective, this novel offers a nuanced view of the contrasting cultures and landscapes that existed in the Republic of Panama and the American Canal Zone." -Carlos Ledson Miller, Author of Panama; Belize; and Stroke "As a recovering alcoholic, I 'watched' the dark shade of alcoholism descend inexorably into Lady Gemini's life. The author led me through a labyrinth of the protagonist's hopes and dreams from her childhood on I witnessed Rose displaying an indomitable will as she struggled against impossible odds. We are left to discover in Book 2 if she at least breaks even." -Ron P.

Download or read book Mega city Redux written by Alyse Knorr and published by Green Mountains Review Books. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Alyse Knorr's MEGA-CITY REDUX is a marvel. In 1405, Christine de Pizan, the world's first female professional writer, published an allegorical work called The Book of the City of Ladies, in which she imagined constructing (with the help of her fairy godmothers Reason, Rectitude, and Justice) a walled city where women could live safe from sexism, misogyny, and gendered violence. Six hundred years later, women across the world still find themselves in need of such a city. MEGA-CITY REDUX, a novel in verse remix of Pizan's allegory, charts a modern-day road-trip search for the mythical city, with the help of 21st- century feminist heroes Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xena Warrior Princess, and Dana Scully from The X-Files.

This book was released on 2006-04-30 with total page 1035 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have had a complex experience in African American culture. The first work of its kind, this encyclopedia approaches African American literature from a Women's Studies perspective. While Yolanda Williams Page's Encyclopedia of African American Women Writers provides biographical entries on more than 150 literary figures, this book is much broader in scope. Included are several hundred alphabetically arranged entries on African American women writers, as well as on male writers who have treated women in their works. Entries on genres, periods, themes, characters, historical events, texts, places, and other topics are included as well. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and relates its subject to the overall experience of women in African American literature. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia closes with a selected, general bibliography. African American culture is enormously diverse, and the experience of women in African American society is especially complex. Women were among the first African American writers, and works by black women writers are popular among students and general readers alike. At the same time, African American women have been oppressed, and texts by black male authors represent women in a variety of ways. The first of its kind, this encyclopedia approaches African American literature from a Women's Studies perspective, and thus significantly illuminates the African American cultural experience through literary works. Included are several hundred alphabetically arranged entries, written by numerous expert contributors. In addition to covering male and female African American authors, the encyclopedia also discusses themes, major works and characters, genres, periods, historical events, places, and other topics. Included are entries on such authors as: ; Maya Angelou ; James Baldwin ; Frederick Douglass ; Nikki Giovanni ; June Jordan ; Claude McKay ; Ishmael Reed ; Sojourner Truth ; Phillis Wheatley ; And many others. In addition, the many works discussed include: ; Beloved ; Blanche on the Lam ; Iknow Why the Caged Bird Sings ; The Men of Brewster Place ; Quicksand ; The Street ; Waiting to Exhale ; And many more. The many topical entries cover: ; Black Feminism ; Black Nationalism ; Conjuring ; Children's and Young Adult Literature ; Detective Fiction ; Epistolary Novel ; Motherhood ; Sexuality ; Spirituality ; Stereotypes ; And many others.

Download or read book Lady Astronauts Lady Engineers and Naked Ladies written by Karin Hilck and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Lady Astronauts, Lady Engineers, and Naked Ladies is a gender history of the American space community and by extension a social history of American society in the twentieth century during the Cold War. In order to expand and differentiate the prevalent postwar narrative about gender relations and cultural structures in the United States, the book analyzes several different groups of women interacting in different social spaces within the space community. It therewith grants insight into the several layers of female participation and agency in the community and the gender and race based obstacles and hurdles the female (prospective) astronauts, scientists, engineers, artists, administrators, writers, hostesses, secretaries, and wives were faced with at NASA and in the space industry. In each chapter a different social space within the space community is analyzed. The spaces where the women lived and worked are researched from a media, individual, and institutional angle, ultimately revealing the differing gender philosophies communicated in the public sphere and the space community workplaces by government and space community officials. While women were publicly encouraged to participate in the American space effort to beat the Soviet Union in the race to the moon, women had to deal with gender based barriers which were integral to the structures of the space community; just as they were an intrinsic component of all societal structures in the United States in the 1960s. The female space workers, who were often perceived as disrupters of the prevalent social order in the space community and discriminated by some of their male colleagues and bosses on a personal basis, still managed to assert themselves. They molded pockets of agency in the space community workspaces without the facilitation of regulations on the part of NASA that might have provided them with easier access or more agency. Thus, the space community, a place of technological innovation, was not necessarily also a place of social innovation, but a community with a government agency at its center that mainly mirrored the current (changing) social order, conventions, and policies in the 1960s as well as in the 1970s and 1980s. Nevertheless, the women presented in this book were instrumental in advancing and consolidating the social transformation that happened within the space community and the United States and therefore make intriguing subjects of research. Thus, this systematic analysis of the connection between gender, space, and the Cold War adds a new dimension to space history as well as expands the discourse in American history about gender relations and the opportunities of women in the twentieth century.
