Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book, containing the biographies of more than 1,100 notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, is an absorbing record of female achievement spanning some 2,000 years of British life. Most of the lives included are those of women whose work took them in some way before the public and who therefore played a direct and important role in broadening the horizons of women. Also included are women who influenced events in a more indirect way: the wives of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting and society hostesses. Originally published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of British Women, this newly re-worked edition includes key figures who have died in the last 20 years, such as The Queen Mother, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, Elizabeth Jennings and Christina Foyle.

Download or read book Spiritual World of Twins written by Leo Agwu and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-05-04 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abe and Abi were born twins. The twins were taken into a deep forest without clothing and left to be killed and eaten by wild animals or used as a sacrifice. Abe and Abi cried for their parents for comfort and food, but in vain—just because they were born twins. This barbaric act was carried out by the man responsible for their birth, their father. This was because having twins was considered a curse that befell the family, and that family would be excommunicated by the rest of the community if such evil of having twins ever came to light. This was the belief of some cities in the eastern part of Nigeria in the olden days, until the arrival of a missionary from Scotland by the name of Mary Mitchell Slessor. Mary made the people see twins as a blessing rather than a taboo by preaching and teaching. She stopped people from abandoning twins in the forest to be killed and eaten by animals or used as a sacrifice. May the soul of Mary Mitchell Slassor rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Download or read book When Scotland Was Jewish written by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.

Download or read book A History of Women s Contributions to Linguistics written by Natalia Fernández Díaz-Cabal and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this essay confesses that she has practised an exhumation exercise: an overwhelming work of research in which many names are hardly known (let alone recognised). The challenges of a work for which there is little precedent, and which was absolutely necessary, are numerous and varied: from the absence of documentation (or the difficulty of accessing it) to the over-representation of a large handful of linguists as opposed to the practical invisibility of the majority, to cite only the most obvious. Nevertheless, the result is an enjoyable and pedagogical read which documents the existence and contributions of more than 200 women who have worked in language-related disciplines. The book explores Western and Eastern sources in order to do justice to all those women who make this book meaningful.
