Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 2 BuzzFeed Hot Lists! “New Book Releases We Loved And Why You Should Read Them” “New Historical Fiction You Won't Be Able To Put Down This Fall” The story of one woman's quest to carve out a life for herself in the liberal and bewildering society that emerged during the California gold rush frenzy. Elisabeth Parker comes to California from Massachusetts in 1849 with her new husband, Nate, to reunite with her father, who’s struck gold on the American River. But she soon realizes her husband is not the man she thought—and neither is her father, who abandons them shortly after they arrive. As Nate struggles with his sexuality, Elisabeth is forced to confront her preconceived notions of family, love, and opportunity. She finds comfort in corresponding with her childhood friend back home, writer Louisa May Alcott, and spending time in the company of a mysterious California. Armed with Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self-Reliance, she sets out to determine her role in building the West, even as she comes to terms with the sacrifices she must make to achieve independence and happiness. A gripping and illuminating window into life in the Old West, Prospects of a Woman is the story of one woman’s passionate quest to carve out a place for herself in the liberal and bewildering society that emerged during the California gold rush frenzy.
Download or read book Women in Academe written by Mariam K. Chamberlain and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1989-03-16 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of women in higher education, as in many other settings, has undergone dramatic changes during the past two decades. This significant period of progress and transition is definitively assessed in the landmark volume, Women in Academe. Crowded out by returning veterans and pressed by social expectations to marry early and raise children, women in the 1940s and 1950s lost many of the educational gains they had made in previous decades. In the 1960s women began to catch up, and by the 1970s women were taking rapid strides in academic life. As documented in this comprehensive study, the combined impact of the women's movement and increased legislative attention to issues of equality enabled women to make significant advances as students and, to a lesser extent, in teaching and academic administration. Women in Academe traces the phenomenal growth of women's studies programs, the notable gains of women in non-traditional fields, the emergence of campus women's centers and research institutes, and the increasing presence of minority and re-entry women. Also examined are the uncertain future of women's colleges and the disappointingly slow movement of women into faculty and administrative positions. This authoritative volume provides more current and extensive data on its subject than any other study now available. Clearly and objectively, it tells an impressive story of progress achieved—and of important work still to be done.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women, Their Probable Place and Prospects in the Twentieth Century It may argue some boldness in me, or perhaps in any man, to venture to discuss matters relating to the opposite sex before a mixed auditory such as I see before me. There are not wanting now many who would plainly declare that such topics as I shall take up were best discussed by women for women. I will not join issue with them, but declare my opinion forthwith that no member of the body politic is better entitled, or fitted, to enter on such matters than one who has had the special training and experience which come from thirty years of work in the active practice of the profession of Medicine. I will declare at the outset of my address that all I am about to state is prompted by a profound and wide admiration of woman; by a chivalrous respect for her highest qualities, and by an appreciation and lofty conception of her legitimate aims and position as a divinely created companion of man in his present phase of existence.
