Book excerpt: To teach observance of the three women's commandments--the laws of challah, Sabbath candles, and menstrual separation--in a systematic and impersonal manner, Rabbi Benjamin Slonik (ca. 1550-1620) harnessed the relatively new technology of printing and published a how-to pamphlet for women in the Yiddish vernacular. Fram transcribes, translates, and analyzes Slonik's pamphlet and presents a treasure trove of information about the place and roles of women in late sixteenth-century Polish-Jewish society.

Download or read book The Loyal Traitor written by Patton Galloway and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History portrays the Revolution as united Americans rising up against British tyranny. In fact, the colonists were equally divided between Rebels, Loyalists and neutrals. Joseph Galloway was a leading Loyalist. Before the war, he was one of the most powerful and respected men in the colonies. As Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assemebly and a prolific writer, he worked to perserve the peace during two decades of unrest. As a member of the Continental Congress, he argued for consitutional reform instead of rebellion. When war broke out, he joined the British, who made him superintendent of occupied Philadelphia. When the British abandoned the city, he went to London and became spokesman for the refugees there. He died in exile, barred from the country he loved. His story deals with forgotten aspects of the Revolution, such as the persecution of Quaker pacifists, the British command's reluctance to wage war, and how the rebellion divided friends and families.
Download or read book I Bless You in My Heart written by Carl Ballstadt and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1996-12-15 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though her life was largely circumscribed by domesticity and poverty both in England and in Canada, Catharine Parr Traill’s interests, experiences, and contacts were broad and various. Her contribution to our knowledge of nineteenth-century Canadian life, from a literary, historical, and scientific perspective, was significant. Chosen from her nearly 500 extant letters, the 136 presented here vividly reflect typical aspects of social and family life, attachments to the Old World, health and medical conditions, travel, religious faith and practice, the stresses of settlement in Upper Canada in the 1830s, and the dispersal of families with the opening up of the Canadian and American West. Spanning seventy years, the letters are presented in three sections, each prefaced by an introductory essay. The first, ‘1830–1859: “The changes and chances of a settler’s life,”’ traces Traill’s story from her emergence as one of the literary Strickland sisters in England, through the difficult, poverty-stricken years of settlement and family raising in Canada, to her husband’s death. The second, ‘1860–1884: “The poor country mouse,”’ reveals her quiet life at Westove (her cottage at Lakefield), her devotion to family and friends, and the time she spent writing botanical essays and seeking a publisher for them. A trip to Ottawa in 1884 awakened her to a recognition of the literary stature she had earned. The third section, ‘1885–1899: “The sight of green things is life to me,”’ begins with the publication of her Studies of Plant Life in Canada and sheds light on the public recognition she received, her continuing literary productivity, and the strengthening of her role as matriarch of the Strickland family in Canada. It closes with her death on 29 August 1899. Together with the introductory essays, Traill’s correspondence offers an intimate and revealing portrait of a courageous, caring, and remarkable woman—mother, pioneer, writer, and botanist.
