Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pioneering debut novel by one of Turkey's most radical female authors tells the story of an aspiring intellectual in a complex, modernizing country. In English at last: the first novel by a Turkish woman to ever be nominated for the Nobel. A Strange Woman is the story of Nermin, a young woman and aspiring poet growing up in Istanbul. Nermin frequents coffeehouses and underground readings, determined to immerse herself in the creative, anarchist youth culture of Turkey’s capital; however, she is regularly thwarted by her complicated relationship to her parents, members of the old guard who are wary of Nermin’s turn toward secularism. In four parts, A Strange Woman narrates the past and present of a Turkish family through the viewpoints of the main characters involved. This rebellious, avant-garde novel tackles sexuality, the unconscious, and psychoanalysis, all through the lens of modernizing 20th-century Turkey. Deep Vellum brings this long-awaited translation of the debut novel by a trailblazing feminist voice to US readers.

Download or read book A Strange Stirring written by Stephanie Coontz and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1963, Betty Friedan unleashed a storm of controversy with her bestselling book, The Feminine Mystique. Hundreds of women wrote to her to say that the book had transformed, even saved, their lives. Nearly half a century later, many women still recall where they were when they first read it. In A Strange Stirring, historian Stephanie Coontz examines the dawn of the 1960s, when the sexual revolution had barely begun, newspapers advertised for "perky, attractive gal typists," but married women were told to stay home, and husbands controlled almost every aspect of family life. Based on exhaustive research and interviews, and challenging both conservative and liberal myths about Friedan, A Strange Stirring brilliantly illuminates how a generation of women came to realize that their dissatisfaction with domestic life didn't't reflect their personal weakness but rather a social and political injustice.
Download or read book The Strange History of the American Quadroon written by Emily Clark and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exotic, seductive, and doomed: the antebellum mixed-race free woman of color has long operated as a metaphor for New Orleans. Commonly known as a "quadroon," she and the city she represents rest irretrievably condemned in the popular historical imagination by the linked sins of slavery and interracial sex. However, as Emily Clark shows, the rich archives of New Orleans tell a different story. Free women of color with ancestral roots in New Orleans were as likely to marry in the 1820s as white women. And marriage, not concubinage, was the basis of their family structure. In The Strange History of the American Quadroon, Clark investigates how the narrative of the erotic colored mistress became an elaborate literary and commercial trope, persisting as a symbol that long outlived the political and cultural purposes for which it had been created. Untangling myth and memory, she presents a dramatically new and nuanced understanding of the myths and realities of New Orleans's free women of color.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These lynching dramas may not present the picture that America wants to see of itself, but these visions cannot be ignored because they are grounded—not only in the truth of white racism's toxic effect on our national existence but also in the truth that there exists a contesting, collective response that is part of an on-going and continually building momentum." —Theaatre Journal "A unique, powerful collection worthy of high school and college classroom assignment and discussion." —Bookwatch This anthology is the first to address the impact of lynching on U.S. theater and culture. By focusing on women's unique view of lynching, this collection of plays reveals a social history of interracial cooperation between black and white women and an artistic tradition that continues to evolve through the work of African American women artists.

Download or read book Wise Strange and Holy written by Claudia V. Camp and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship of the Strange Woman and Woman Wisdom, separate but inseparable in Proverbs 1-9, is the book's analytic starting point, becoming a hermeneutical lens for viewing other texts of strangeness-of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and cultic activity. Wisdom and strangeness mark the narratives of Samson and Solomon, while priestly literature sets strangeness against holiness. Miriam and Dinah, sisters of cultic eponyms Aaron and Levi, are Israelite women defiled or unclean, made strange. Priestly and wisdom constructions of gendered strangeness intersect, illuminating the ideologies of identity that develop in the postexilic period and that shape the beginnings of the biblical canon. >

A nameless woman enters a hotel room. She’s been here once before. In the years since, the room hasn’t changed, but she has. Forever caught between check-in and check-out, she will go on to occupy other hotel rooms. From Avignon to Oslo, Auckland to Austin, each is as anonymous as the last but bound by rules of her choosing. There, amid the detritus of her travels, the matchbooks, cigarettes, keys and room-service wine, she negotiates with her memories, with the men she sometimes meets, with the clichés invented to aggravate middle-aged women, with those she has lost or left behind--and with what it might mean to return home.

Book excerpt: Women all over the world are awakening to one global pandemonium - 'The Strange Woman'.Strange women have become an affliction that is rapidly plaguing marriages and giving the enemy legal grounds to drain God's blessings out of homes.The best way to fight your enemy is to first identify, understand and then kill it from its roots.This book is a weapon in the hands of women and wives to enlighten their eyes of understanding, that they may know how to stop external affairs of disorderliness in their marriages and cast out the strange woman.The Strange Woman is not a new concept; as a matter of fact, she has been around since the beginning of time and the devil has being using 'strange women' to fight against marriages for centuries.Satan used the strange woman Hagar to manipulate and almost cut off Abraham from God's purpose for his life - but the mercy of God intercepted and delivered Abraham with his wife Sarah, and their promise, posterity & prosperity was preserved to the glory of God.Polygamy was packaged by the enemy to be acceptable and that was the beginning of onslaughts against God's ordained holy union of marriage.God's purpose for marriage has always been between one man and one woman: however through the unsatiable desires of human nature, mankind had given into their lust and slowly drifted out of that design for various reasons.While polygamy may not be a popular culture right now as it was back in time; things like having a side chick, the other woman, office flings, shameless flirtatious behaviours, estranged entanglements, unwedded baby mothers, an emotional/physical affair with the stunning secretary at the workplace is becoming more and more prevalent in our time - and it's all part of Satan's schemes to make man unruly and polygamous. It is for this basis we must aim to understand the devil's reasons for pushing polygamy so ferociously upon mankind and creating apparent upheaval through this.God's intention was made very clear in the garden of Eden - and that was for one man and one woman to be together in a monogamous relationship leading to marriage and carry out his divine plan for their lives by the two of them becoming one flesh, one soul and one heart.A man who becomes one flesh with more than one woman is walking in error and will reap nothing short of confusion, disturbances and all works of evil.The strange woman is the bond woman, who comes to kill, steal and destroy and if allowed to continue will spawn havoc, distress and agony.The best way to deal with the strange woman is to send her away from your marriage.Are you tired of the strange woman harassing your home and desecrating your marital vows?Are you fed up of having to deal with the arrogance and disrespect of the strange woman towards your marriage?Are you ready to put the strange woman in her place?Do you desire for your marriage to be restored to God's original design?Do you want to understand and conquer your enemy?Are you sincerely willing to fight for your marriage and stand in the gap?Do you hope to gain knowledge and understanding on the schemes Satan is using against marriages?Do you want to be equipped with adequate spiritual warfare strategies for your marriage?Do you want to stop the strange woman before she stops you?Are you ready to serve the strange woman with a divine restraining order?Then open this book and begin to learn how to fight back, for it written "from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence & the violent (the spiritually aggressive, the one who lays up godly fear, wisdom, knowledge and understanding in their hearts, the one who refuses to give up) takes it by force!
