Book excerpt: Re-examining history from a female perspective, this book celebrates the numerous important roles women have played in culture and society that are less often told. Includes evocative images, this gloriously illustrated ebook reveals the key events in women's history - from early matriarchal societies through women's suffrage, the Suffragette movement, 20th-century feminism and gender politics, to recent movements such as #MeToo and International Women's Day - and the key role women have had in shaping our past. Learn about the everyday lives of women through the ages as well as the big names of women's history - powerful, inspirational, and trailblazing women such as Cleopatra, Florence Nightingale, Emmeline Pankhurst, Eva Peron, and Rosa Parks - and discover the unsung contributions of lesser-known women who have changed the world, and the "forgotten" events of women's history. Placing women firmly centre stage, Women - Our History shows women where they have come from, and, in celebrating the achievements of women of the past offers positive role models for women of today

Book excerpt: Durante siglos las mujeres han permanecido calladas, marginadas por la sociedad. Pero desde su silencio se alza un canto que celebra sus verdades. En El Tao de las Mujeres hablan las voces femeninas. Es esta una rara y delicadísima obra en la que sus breves pero profundas reflexiones amplifican las voces de nuestras abuelas, y de sus madres antes que ellas. Es un encuentro con la mujer sabia que todas llevamos dentro, con esa clara y sutil llama eterna femenina que nos reúne más allá del tiempo, el espacio y la cultura con las mujeres que nos precedieron y con las hijas que nos seguirán. En 1950 se descubrió un lenguaje secreto cerca de la provincia de Hunan (China). Conocido como Nu Shu, este ancestral lenguaje fue desarrollado y utilizado por las mujeres de la antigua China para comunicarse entre ellas en un tiempo en que su sociedad no les permitía aprender a leer y escribir. Hasta 1982 no se llegó a reunificar y traducir este "lenguaje secreto". El Tao de las mujeres es el primer libro occidental en el que se recogen 81 ilustraciones Nu Shu originales junto con sus traducciones. Son el complemento ideal para los textos de sabiduría femenina que las autoras han recopilado en el libro. La base de la obra la constituye la idea de que la vida es un proceso, algo de por sí inherente tanto al Tao como a la forma esencial femenina de percibir. Los múltiples y muy diferentes aspectos del "camino de las mujeres" que aquí se expone dotan de una luminosa perspectiva a la existencia cotidiana de toda mujer. PAMELA K. METZ vive en Denver (Colorado), donde es vicedecana de la Escuela de Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Colorado. Es licenciada en pedagogía y trabajo social por las universidades de Illinois, Denver y Colorado. Profesora de una amplia gama de asignaturas, sus más de treinta años de experiencia profesional incluyen la docencia en universidades, escuelas públicas y privadas y en la innovadora Universidad Sin Fronteras. Ha trabajado como profesora de enseñanza primaria, trabajadora social en un hospicio y administradora en el campo educativo. En todas estas situaciones, la sabiduría del Tao ha sido su guía: dejar ir, seguir los ciclos naturales, confiar en los procesos. JACQUELINE L. TOBIN también vive en Denver, Colorado, con su marido y dos hijos adoptados. Imparte cursos sobre historias de mujeres en el Departamento de Estudios sobre la Mujer de la Universidad de Denver y es licenciada en pedagogía, estudios sobre la mujer y asesoría. Como escritora independiente, recorre Estados Unidos recogiendo relatos personales de mujeres; es creadora de Storylines, un programa de asesoramiento educativo desarrollado para reunir y preservar historias de la vida de las mujeres. Ha trabajado como terapeuta, educadora y escritora. En todas estas tareas se plasma su labor como investigadora y divulgadora del camino femenino.

Download or read book El Juego de la vida para mujeres written by Florence Scovel Shinn and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sabiduría intemporal..., un estilo divertido..., explicaciones fáciles de entender sobre el éxito. En esta obra ya clásica, Florence Scovel Shinn se perfiló como una escritora excepcional, cuyas prácticas y reveladoras sugerencias atrajeron en su época a lectoras y mujeres emprendedoras de todos los ámbitos. Más aún, años después sus libros continúan sobresaliendo como algunas de las más prominentes fuentes sobre la prosperidad. Es éste, quizá, uno de sus libros más célebres, en el que describe cómo abordar el juego de la vida a través de actitudes y afirmaciones positivas, ofreciendo a las mujeres la oportunidad de cultivar el éxito, la prosperidad y el acercamiento a la eterna sabiduría. Para ella la vida no es una batalla; es un juego en el que todo tiene sentido, aunque no puede ser llevado a cabo con éxito sin el conocimiento de la ley espiritual. Con su obra nos plantea no sólo las reglas de este juego, sino (lo que es más importante) la forma de jugarlo para ganar. Una obra llena de sabiduría para ganar en el juego de la vida mediante actitudes positivas. "A través del pensamiento correcto, a cada mujer le es otorgado todo el poder para traer "el paraíso" a "su propio mundo". Esa es la meta del juego de la vida. Para Florence Scovel, recogiendo la palabra divina, "la vida debe ser plena y la copa debe rebosar". Las mujeres deben jugar el juego y deben ganar, pues la abundancia es también un derecho divino que no se les debe negar. Y desde un punto de vista espiritual nos revela las reglas del poder de la palabra, de la ley de la no resistencia, del amor, de la intuición, de la expresión personal, la ley de la prosperidad... Y, sobre todo, la regla de "que una mujer siempre recogerá aquello que siembre". FLORENCE SCOVEL SHINN fue artista y profesora metafísica en Nueva York. Escritora de renombre en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, fue también ilustradora de libros y revistas infantiles. Sus obras: "El poder de la palabra hablada" o "La puerta secreta del éxito", entre otras, aunque relativamente cortas, albergan una apasionante profundidad y conducen al lector hacia el logro de salud, prosperidad y felicidad. Hoy en día continúan siendo un referente para muchas personas en todo el mundo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es la guía definitiva para la salud de la mujer latina. Mucho más que una fuente de información sobre la salud de la mujer, de acuerdo a mujeres tanto en los Estados Unidos como a través del mundo, Our Bodies, Ourselves (versión en inglés) impulsó al movimiento feminista a tomar medidas y participar en aspectos críticos de la salud: la reproducción y los derechos de reproducción, la violencia social y doméstica, las cuestiones de género y la justicia económica. Este texto en español está también firmemente enfocado en esa misma dirección, sin embargo no es una traducción literal del libro en inglés puesto que ha sido cuidadosamente adaptado para reflejar las realidades culturales, sociales y espirituales de la mujer latina. Aborda temas que van desde el control de la natalidad hasta las dietas y la salud mental.

Book excerpt: Award-winning Chilean author Marcela Serrano weaves a beautiful story about the universal connections between women. For nine Chilean women, life couldn't be more different. There is the teenage computer whiz confronting her sexual identity. A middle-aged recluse who prefers the company of her dog over that of most humans. A housekeeper. A celebrity television personality. A woman confronting the loneliness of old age. Of disparate ages and races, these women represent the variety of cultural and social groups that Chile comprises. On the surface, they seem to have nothing in common...except for their beloved therapist, who brings them together. Yet as different as they all are, each woman has a story to share. As the women tell their stories, unlikely common threads are discovered, bonds are formed, and lives are transformed. Their stories form an intricate tale of triumph, heartache, and healing that will resonate with women from all walks of life. An International DUBLIN Literary Award Nominee.

Download or read book Fatal Revolutions written by Christopher P. Iannini and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on letters, illustrations, engravings, and neglected manuscripts, Christopher Iannini connects two dramatic transformations in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world--the emergence and growth of the Caribbean plantation system and the rise of natural science. Iannini argues that these transformations were not only deeply interconnected, but that together they established conditions fundamental to the development of a distinctive literary culture in the early Americas. In fact, eighteenth-century natural history as a literary genre largely took its shape from its practice in the Caribbean, an oft-studied region that was a prime source of wealth for all of Europe and the Americas. The formal evolution of colonial prose narrative, Ianinni argues, was contingent upon the emergence of natural history writing, which itself emerged necessarily from within the context of Atlantic slavery and the production of tropical commodities. As he reestablishes the history of cultural exchange between the Caribbean and North America, Ianinni recovers the importance of the West Indies in the formation of American literary and intellectual culture as well as its place in assessing the moral implications of colonial slavery.
