Download or read book Pious Fashion written by Elizabeth M. Bucar and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who says you can't be pious and fashionable? Throughout the Muslim world, women have found creative ways of expressing their personality through the way they dress. Headscarves can be modest or bold, while brand-name clothing and accessories are part of a multimillion-dollar ready-to-wear industry that caters to pious fashion from head to toe. In this lively snapshot, Elizabeth Bucar takes us to Iran, Turkey and Indonesia and finds a dynamic world of fashion, faith and style. "Brings out both the sensuality and pleasure of sartorial experimentation." --Times Literary Supplement "I defy anyone not to be beguiled by Bucar's] generous-hearted yet penetrating observation of pious fashion in Indonesia, Turkey and Iran...Bucar uses interviews with consumers, designers, retailers and journalists...to examine the presumptions that modest dressing can't be fashionable, and fashion can't be faithful." --Times Higher Education "Bucar disabuses readers of any preconceived ideas that women who adhere to an aesthetic of modesty are unfashionable or frumpy." --Washington Post "A smart, eye-opening guide to the creative sartorial practices of young Muslim women...Bucar's lively narrative illuminates fashion choices, moral aspirations, and social struggles that will unsettle those who prefer to stereotype than inform themselves about women's everyday lives in the fast-changing, diverse societies that constitute the Muslim world." --Lila Abu-Lughod, author of Do Muslim Women Need Saving?

Download or read book Dear Madame de Beauvoir written by Daniel Zanou and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dear Madame de Beauvoir” is a response to the book “The Second Sex” by the French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir. The book tackles existentialist feminism, exposes the flaws in radical feminism, and provides essential tips for our daughters to navigate safely the world created by men. The book introduces essentialist feminism, a new school of thought within the feminism movement that sees man and woman as inseparable entities living in an obligatory symbiotic relationship. They are joint heirs and co-equal in managing the material universe. They have never been in war, as anarchist feminists depict it, but in lovely relationships that sometimes do not end well. Man and woman complete and complement each other; they can switch tasks in the house as they please, but roles cannot be abolished because we cannot have two captains in one boat. The two individuals live as pilot and co-pilot and cannot leave the house simultaneously because the ship cannot be left unattended. Essentialist feminism promotes function-based roles in the marital home to address the nascent confusion in marriage instead of the gender-based roles we traditionally practice.

Download or read book Mermaid A Memoir of Resilience written by Eileen Cronin and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-01-20 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Extraordinarily courageous; [Cronin] chronicles her journey to fit in and thrive with bravery and wit." —O, The Oprah Magazine At the age of three, Eileen Cronin first realized that only she did not have legs. Her boisterous Catholic family accepted her situation as “God’s will,” treating her no differently than her ten siblings, as she “squiddled” through their 1960s Cincinnati home. But starting school, even wearing prosthetics, Cronin had to brave bullying and embarrassing questions. Thanks to her older brother’s coaching, she handled a classmate’s playground taunts with a smack from her lunchbox. As a teen, thrilled when boys asked her out, she was confused about what sexuality meant for her. She felt most comfortable and happiest relaxing and skinny dipping with her girlfriends, imagining herself “an elusive mermaid.” The cause of her disability remained taboo, however, even as she looked toward the future and the possibility of her own family. In later years, as her mother battled mental illness and denied having taken the drug thalidomide—known to cause birth defects—Cronin felt apart from her family. After the death of a close brother, she turned to alcohol. Eventually, however, she found the strength to set out on her own, volunteering at hospitals and earning a PhD in clinical psychology. Reflecting with humor and grace on her youth, search for love, and quest for answers, Cronin spins a shimmering story of self-discovery and transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I didn’t ever want to care about another human being again. It hurt too much; left me feeling too empty, too worthless. And so I decided for a second time that I was going to try to play the indifferent game. I was too late though . . . By the time I’d decided, I’d already been affected in ways I hadn’t even realized. The virus had taken hold of me, mutating my identity and inner thoughts until they had transformed to almost complete self-abhorrence. It had happened so slowly over the years that I hadn’t even noticed it, and only now, in retrospect, do I realize how much my mind had changed in that time. But for you to really understand, you would have to be able to read my mind.

Download or read book Fairy Tale Fashion written by Colleen Hill and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dress plays a crucial role in fairy tales, signaling the status, wealth, or vanity of particular characters, and symbolizing their transformation. While fairy tales often provide little information beyond what is necessary to a plot, clothing and accessories are often vividly described, enhancing the sense of wonder integral to the genre. Cinderella's glass slipper is perhaps the most famous example, but it is one of many enchanted or emblematic pieces of dress that populate these tales. This is the first book to examine the history, significance, and imagery of classic fairy tales through the lens of high fashion. A comprehensive introduction to the topic of fairy tales and dress is followed by a series of short essays on thirteen stories: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, The Fairies, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Rapunzel, Furrypelts, The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, The Swan Maidens, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wizard of Oz. Generously illustrated, these stories are creatively and imaginatively linked to examples of clothing by Comme des Garçons, Dolce and Gabbana, Charles James, and Alexander McQueen, among many others.

Adventure and romance together in high-speed pursuit of Happily Ever Afters throughout the universe. If you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong galaxies, find your alien mate with the Intergalactic Dating Agency! Maelstrom ~ Coriolis ~ Fathom The Big Sky Intergalactic Dating Agency promised them brides from this small, blue planet… Maelstrom As an ocean-dwelling Tritonyri warrior, Maelstrom Amyth sacrificed everything he loved in the centuries-long battle against the cruel and careless land-dwellers. So when he and his pod-brothers are sent to Earth to gently woo Intergalactic Dating Agency brides for his world’s survival, he’s definitely a fish-man out of water. She thought the seas were deep and dark and dangerous, but then she looked to the Big Sky above… Ridley Blake grew up in landlocked Iowa dreaming only of the ocean, but she washed out of Navy SEAL training after nearly drowning during a panic attack that left her with thalassophobia—the fear of deep water. She figures she’ll never dive again, until she is summoned to the middle of Montana under mysterious circumstances. But the troubles they both left behind have bigger teeth than they knew, and now Mael and Ridley have to sink or swim together… Coriolis With her allergy to water — water, that keeps everything on Earth alive — getting worse every day, heiress Marisol Wavercrest assumes she is going to die. So when she’s offered one chance to survive, she has to take it. Except that chance will take her to another world that’s nearly 100% covered by water in the company of an alien merman…who claims she is his fated mate. As commander of the western fleet on Tritona, Coriolis Kelyre fought long and hard against the cruel land-dwellers who poisoned the seas. When he’s given one last task after the war — to take an alien bride to help save his world — he’ll do what he’s told, just as he’s always done, even if the bride he’s sent to retrieve makes him question everything he’s sacrificed. Their predestined union is supposed to save a fragile planet, but a perfect storm is brewing between the enemies seeking to tear them apart and the tidal wave of their rising desire. Fathom If Tritona’s war is over, who feeds the forgotten sharks of war? Designed and trained to be a war-torn planet’s merciless killing machine, Sting was sent to the deeps when the battles ended. But the end of the fighting doesn’t always mean peace. Then one of the Wavercrest women from Earth goes missing, and he’s tasked with finding her. But how can this one small mission soothe the monster he was made to be? She thought the seas were deep and dark and dangerous, but then she looked inside… Lana Wavercrest has been running for what feels like forever. She thought she’d finally found her home on a faraway ocean world…only to discover that her heritage—the same unnerving powers that ruined her life on Earth—is considered a curse on Tritona too. Is there nowhere in the universe she can be herself? But when Tritona’s enemy returns, they will have one last chance to decide the fate of worlds—and their lonely, drifting hearts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was once a girl child found after a thunderstorm amid a wash of shells and sea foam by Orsino, a grief-stricken king who’d only just buried his wife and unborn daughter. The king raised the child alongside his son, Orlando, dismissing the local belief she must be a mermaid. As the years passed, the girl grew into a beautiful young woman, the fairest in the land. As she grew, so did Orlando...and a love between them that even the changing tides could not break. She was never meant to be a princess but rather a woman to be loved by a prince. While love's aim flies true, his timing fails the target. Even the strongest of romance is no match for war--this I promise you. For I am the mermaid child, and this is my story.
