Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REBAZAR TARZS, has always been in Human History. He, and The RealGuides have always been behind the scenes from The RealSide and in Your DreamVisions, to assist those who have a TruHeart for RealAdventure and RealTruth. It takes lifetimes for all of us to finally mature enough to come into a position of TruRecognition of The TruReality, THE ALLIS. What this means is, ALL Life IS About Becoming MoreAware. The lifestyle people have chosen for themselves while on the Earth is not the ultimate reality of what is possible. Each lifetime we are here is so very short and passes so fast, and this is why it takes numerous lifetimes with The RealGuides to wakeup from all the self-created confusion. What is taking place on the Earth today is because of all the choices each person has made. Therefore, Human History, when properly understood, provides a good reference and comparison, until each person can discover for themselves What IS Real Now! www.DuaneTheGreatWriter.Info
Download or read book Gendered Justice in the American West written by Anne M. Butler and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1999-08-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this shocking study, Anne M. Butler shows that the distinct gender disadvantages already faced by women within western society erupted into intense physical and mental violence when they became prisoners in male penitentiaries. Drawing on prison records and the words of the women themselves, Gendered Justice in the American West places the injustices women prisoners endured in the context of the structures of male authority and female powerlessness that pervaded all of American society. Butler's poignant cross-cultural account explores how nineteenth-century criminologists constructed the "criminal woman"; how the women's age, race, class, and gender influenced their court proceedings; and what kinds of violence women inmates encountered. She also examines the prisoners' diet, illnesses, and experiences with pregnancy and child-bearing, as well as their survival strategies.
