Download or read book Invisible Woman written by Jagdish D. Kulkarni M. D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invisible Woman I to I: Invisibility to Invincibility A woman is not an object of study but a subject of realization. Invisible Woman is the heartbeat of Jay's Legacy, a Not For Profit Organization I have established in my late wife's honor. This book is about the Power of Woman. A woman, who is in possession of unique strengths and subtleties such as instinct, intuition, imagination, etc, should never be in a position to lose her sense of pride and value. Unfortunately, due to inner forces, including her capacity to place her loved ones before herself, as well as external societal forces and collective psychology, many times a woman is affronted with doubts regarding her purposefulness and contexuality in relation to her family. Based upon thousands of interactions with female patients, I have analyzed eight basic categories, based upon personality traits, which lend themselves to feelings of invisibility in women: The Merger - The Pleaser - The Defeated - The Doubter - The Masochist - The Martyr -The Exasperated - and The Lost. Each category contains pointed illustrations from patients who exemplified those behavioral characteristics. I take the reader through each of these categories and show how to recognize them, and more importantly, tackle the more pertinent question of what a woman should do if she suffers from the fear or feeling of being invisible. My intention is to help a woman to increase her sense of awareness and self realization, thus ultimately positioning herself as a vital force: a source of energy to mankind. This book also attempts to inspire men to recognize and appreciate the innate qualities of a woman, and in doing so, attain an emotional, intellectual and spiritual communion with a woman. Jagdish D. Kulkarni, M.D. Physician, Psychiatrist, Businessman, Singer and Husband

Book excerpt: Monique would do anything to live Running for her life from the Nazis, Monique, a seventeen-year-old Jewish girl, escapes through the streets of Paris, searching for a place to hide. In a dark basement deep within the city, Philip, a man of the Resistance, offers her a deal in order to save her life by changing her identity. In return, she needs to provide information about the Germans by becoming acquainted with them. Torn between her feelings for Philip and her fear of Herr Ernest, a German officer who shows special interest in her, Monique steps deeper and deeper into the jaws of the Nazi beast. But with every day that passes, she knows that it is only a matter of time before she makes a mistake and becomes discovered by the Germans - the price for that being her life. Through her own eyes, Monique tells of her efforts to survive within occupied Paris, torn between the cafés bustling with people and the poor citizens endlessly waiting in lines, food-ration stubs in hand. But above all, this is a story about a girl who has to fight for her freedom during those dark and dreadful days, fervently refusing to give up, while the German soldiers march through the streets of Paris, stomping the ground with their hobnailed boots.

Gotsfeld abandoned a comfortable life in New York to live in Mandatory Palestine and conduct the MWOA's business. Gotsfeld was driven by a fervent dedication to Orthodox Zionism and modern education, especially for girls. Her innovations included the establishment of three vocational schools for adolescent girls and two large farm villages that offered religious instruction to girls and boys on an equal basis. Every step of Gotsfeld's journey and leadership involved a struggle. To realize her goals, she had to hold her ground against Mizrachi men and women and centrists Zionists, such as Henrietta Szold. Organizational independence was crucial to Gotsfeld. The fundraising mechanism she set up in New York and her management of resources in Mandatory Palestine and Israel made the MWOA the most successful part of the Mizrachi movement. Through her leadership, she advanced the cause of religious Zionism in the United States and Israel.

This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A triumphant portrait of a fiery sisterhood changing the lives of India's women. In Uttar Pradesh—known as the "badlands" of India—a woman’s life is not entirely her own. This is one explanation for how Sheelu, a seventeen-year-old girl, ended up in jail after fleeing her service in the home of a powerful local legislator. In a region plagued by corruption, an incident like this might have gone unnoticed—except that it captured the attention of Sampat Pal, leader of India’s infamous Gulabi (Pink) Gang. Poor and illiterate, married off around the age of twelve, pregnant with her first child at fifteen, and prohibited from attending school, Sampat Pal has risen to become the courageous commander and chief of a women’s brigade numbering in the tens of thousands. Uniformed in pink saris and carrying pink batons, they aim to intervene wherever other women are victims of abuse or injustice. Joined in her struggle by Babuji, a sensitive man whose intellectualism complements her innate sense of justice, and by a host of passionate field commanders, Sampat Pal has confronted policemen and gangsters, officiated love marriages, and empowered women to become financially independent. In a country where women’s rights struggle to keep up with rapid modernization, the story of Sampat Pal and her Pink Gang illuminates the thrilling possibilities of female grassroots activism.

Download or read book Lioness written by Francine Klagsbrun and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2017 National Jewish Book Award/Everett Family Foundation Book of the Year, this is the definitive biography of the iron-willed leader, chain-smoking political operative, and tea-and-cake serving grandmother who became the fourth prime minister of Israel. Born in tsarist Russia in 1898. Golda Meir immigrated to America in 1906 and grew up in Milwaukee. where from the earliest years she displayed the political consciousness and organizational skills that would eventually catapult her into the inner circles of Israel's founding generation. Moving to mandatory Palestine in 1921 with her husband, the passionate socialist joined a kibbutz but soon left and was hired at a public works office by the man who would become the great love of her life. A series of public service jobs brought her to the attention of David Ben-Gurion, and her political career took off. Fund-raising in America in 1948, secretly meeting in Amman with King Abdullah right before Israel's declaration of independence, mobbed by thousands of Jews in a Moscow synagogue in 1948 as Israel's first representative to the USSR, serving as minister of labor and foreign minister in the 1950s and 1960s, Golda brought fiery oratory, plainspoken appeals, and shrewd-making to the cause to which she had dedicated her life—the welfare and security of the State of Israel and its people. As prime minister, Golda negotiated arms agreements with Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger and had dozens of clandestine meetings with Jordan's King Hussein in the unsuccessful pursuit of a land-for-peace agreement with Israel's neighbors. But her time in office ended in tragedy, when Israel was caught off guard by Egypt and Syria's surprise attack on Yom Kippur in 1973. Resigning in the war's aftermath, Golda spent her final years keeping a hand in national affairs and bemusedly enjoying international acclaim. Francine Klagsbrun's superbly researched and masterly recounted story of Israel's founding mother gives us a Golda for the ages.

Download or read book A Queer Way Out written by Hila Amit and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues that queer Israeli emigrants engage in a deliberately unheroic form of resistance to Zionism. The very language of Zionism prizes the concept of immigration to Israel (aliyah, literally ascending) while stigmatizing emigration from Israel (yerida, descending). In A Queer Way Out, Hila Amit explores the as-yet-untold story of queer Israeli emigrants. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Berlin, London, and New York, she examines motivations for departure and feelings of unbelonging to the Israeli national collective. Amit shows that sexual orientation and left-wing political affiliation play significant roles in decisions to leave. Queer Israeli emigrants question national and heterosexual norms such as army service, monogamy, and reproduction. Amit argues that emigration itself is not only a political act, but one that pioneers a deliberately unheroic form of resistance to Zionist ideology. This fascinating study enriches our understandings of migration, political activism, and queer forms of living in Israel and beyond.

Download or read book The Painful Lessons of Life written by Syed Arif and published by Syed Arif. This book was released on 2024-06-09 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India, a child is born every two seconds, and 90 minor girls get raped every day (According to NCRB Reports 2023). Due to our illiterate politicians, we fight with each other in the name of religion and are busy protecting our religion. This work of fiction was created by our politicians to prevent our society and its people from questioning them about our country's development. If we are preoccupied with our own lives, we have no time to ask or question them about the development of our country. I have written eight different stories that discuss our biased society and its so-called terms and conditions. Through this book, I aim to encourage every girl in our country to break free from the backward thinking that a girl is only meant to cook and dress according to the dress codes set by men in our country. No girl is weak because, in India, I have observed that when a girl is born, she is cherished by her father until she turns 12, her mother becomes her best friend until she reaches 25, and from 26 onwards, she is expected to be a housewife and raise children until her death. Does she have her own life? As a child, she is told that the entire family's honor rests on her young shoulders and she should keep her distance from others. As she grows up, she is instructed to be home before the street lights come on because her parents are concerned about society. The stories below serve as inspiration and prompt you to think and act wisely. 1) Lachchi: a Karma that Haunts - This story talks about a 12-year-old child, Lachchi, getting married to a 40-year-old man. The story explores the consequences of child marriage and karma, showing how she haunts her son before he can marry his sister. I wanted to tell people about the trauma a child goes through when she is pushed into nuptial ties at an early age. 2) Jennet: The Tale of a Courageous Young Woman! - This tale revolves around a physically challenged girl who was subjected to gang rape at a young age and her subsequent entry into the police force. With an IQ of 190, surpassing that of Einstein, she embarks on tackling the most significant human trafficking case after joining the police force. 3) The Last Ship to London: This narrates the journey of British-born Suzzain Bradshaw during the India and Pakistan partition. She must board the final ship to London before its departure. The account follows her from her residence to the vessel, where she experiences the traumatic event of being raped, resulting in memory loss. This narrative conveys the message that when a flame is ignited, it not only consumes the forest but also affects the individuals who sparked the fire. 4) Eternal Love! Sometimes it can be a curse: This is a horror tale of a solitary superstar and his deceased fan. It delves into the tale of the eccentric wife of a monarch and how following her passing, she anticipates his rebirth. Whether she will triumph or face losing him once more is the essence of this narrative. 5) Vidya! An Abandoned Child: This concerns a girl named Vidya who is detained at Dubai airport during her exit immigration. The narrative explores her parents who have forsaken her. It delves into how she developed feelings for a man over the phone and whether she will be released from the UAE prison to reunite with him. Will she have the opportunity to encounter her estranged parents and the individual she has never met? 6) Confession of a Ritual Man: This is a confession by a 94-year-old man who used to give the last bath to dead bodies. It is about him discussing the circumstances of his raping a dead girl while carrying out the last bath and his life journey while on his deathbed. 7) An Archaeologist's Adventure in the Mystic City on the Sand Islands: This is a sci-fi fantasy tale that continues from my initial novel "Did You See My Family?" They have been missing for the last two years. It is the emotional roller-coaster life of an archaeologist who discovered the mystic city in Misr. 8) Resilience in Relationships: A Woman's Journey Through Marriage and Transformation! The life of a woman who got married for the first time at the age of 14 and later went on to marry three more times after losing her first child with her second husband is a complex and compelling story that sheds light on the challenges and resilience of women in relationships. This Story will explore the experiences of this woman, examining the societal norms and pressures that influenced her decisions, as well as the personal growth and transformation she underwent throughout her marriages. Through an analysis of historical context, cultural expectations, and personal narratives, this Story will delve into the reasons behind the woman's early marriage at 14 years old, exploring how societal norms and familial pressures may have played a role in shaping her choices. Additionally, this Story will examine the impact of losing her first child with her second husband on her subsequent marriages, considering how grief and trauma may have influenced her relationships. Furthermore, this Story will explore the woman's personal growth and resilience throughout her marriages, examining how she navigated challenges and setbacks to ultimately find happiness and fulfillment. By analyzing her experiences through a feminist lens, this Story will highlight the agency and strength of women in navigating complex relationships and societal expectations. Overall, this Story aims to shed light on the complexities of women's experiences in marriage, highlighting how societal norms, personal trauma, and individual agency intersect to shape their lives. Through an exploration of this woman's story, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by women in relationships and celebrate their resilience in overcoming adversity. 9) The Colonial Legacies: In the rich tapestry of India's history, some threads weave together the complex narrative of colonialism, resistance, and the quest for independence. Among these threads are the profound impacts of the English language and Christian missionaries in India, the evolution of the Indian education system, and the insidious strategy of "Divide and Conquer." As we delve deeper into the layers of history, we uncover the legacy of the Three Colonial Gifts and their lasting influence on modern India. These gifts, though presented as benevolent gestures, carried with them a hidden agenda of control and exploitation. Amidst this backdrop of colonial rule and cultural upheaval. 10) The Exploitation of North India" In a land rich with history and culture, the people of North India have endured centuries of exploitation at the hands of invaders seeking to conquer and control their region. From the opulent rule of the Mughals to the cunning tactics of the British colonizers, the lands of North India have witnessed the plundering of resources, the imposition of heavy taxes, and the suppression of indigenous traditions. As the once prosperous land faced the heavy burden of foreign rule, families struggled to make ends meet, landowners were reduced to mere tenants, and the education system suffered under oppressive policies. Despite these hardships, a spirit of defiance and determination burned bright in the hearts of the people, as they sought to reclaim their financial independence, educational opportunities, and land rights. Through acts of resistance and solidarity, the people of North India began to rebuild their shattered communities and reclaim their rightful place in the land they called home. The legacy of exploitation may have left scars that ran deep, but it also forged a bond of unity and resilience among the people of North India, as they stood together in the face of adversity and worked towards a brighter future for themselves and generations to come. "Echoes of Resilience: The Exploitation of North India" tells the story of a region's enduring spirit in the face of adversity and the strength found in unity. 11) Rajan, the Temple Trader, whose journey from trader to survivor to revolutionary embodies the indomitable human spirit and the power of resilience in the face of adversity. Standing alongside his comrades in the fight for a future free from oppression, Rajan's story becomes intertwined with the larger narrative of India's struggle for independence – a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring quest for freedom. Join us on this exploration of history, as we unravel the complexities of India's past and witness the transformative power of individuals like Rajan, whose unwavering determination shapes the course of a nation's destiny.
