Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN REVISITED The virtuous woman is a very popular concept in the Bible found in Proverbs 31:10-31. Interestingly, it was taught by a woman to her son who is a king. Many have ignorantly used this concept to foster some traditional beliefs and concepts that placed heavy restrictions on women in terms of personal development and empowerment, relegating the concept of virtuous womanhood to domestic skills of being able to care for the home, raise children and take care of the husband. People who tend to frown against the idea are seen as taking undue advantage of civilization and modernization. They therefore insist that a virtuous woman must remain bound by the societal stereotypes which have been for a very long time. However, a careful explanation of the scriptures in Proverbs 31 will reveal to us how those stereotypes do not have a standing with the word of God and according to the scriptures virtuous womanhood transcends greatly domestic responsibility. There have been a lot of wonderful books written about the virtuous woman and virtuous womanhood, however not many of them have set out to address the issue of stereotypes and traditional virtues unnecessarily required for the woman to be seen as a virtuous woman. This gap is what this book seeks to address, not just another book adding to the lots of material on virtuous womanhood. The virtuous woman revisited is a highly inspirational material and a great eye opening on the concept of virtuous womanhood. In this book we seek to explore the concept of virtuous womanhood in the modern context and setting the stage for reexamining traditional virtues and their relevance in our world today. It will look in depth beyond stereotypes and societal expectations focusing on deconstructing stereotypes associated with virtuous womanhood and defining true virtue in a way that aligns with personal growth and development. Looking into the strength in Character focusing on building a foundation of integrity by exploring the core virtues of integrity, honesty and authenticity and how these virtues contribute to personal and relational wellbeing. The need to nurture the inner self, cultivating self-respect and self-care will be thoughtfully examined. The importance of self-respect and its impact on mental and emotional health will be well elucidated upon and practicing self-care as a means to nurture the inner self. Wisdom and empowerment in developing a balanced mind would be examined with emphasis on the importance of integrating wisdom and knowledge in decision making and also overcoming challenges through critical thinking and emotional intelligence. We shall explore how meaningful relationships are forged by love and compassion with focus on the roles they play in building strong relationships, navigating conflicts and fostering empathy in various spheres of life. Creativity and purpose, unleashing talents and finding fulfillment will also be examined by identifying and utilizing personal talents and creativity; and pursuing passion, finding purpose in everyday life. The need to be courageous in times of adversity will be explained as we have to embrace the challenges that come with faith by understanding the virtue of courage and its application during difficult times, drawing strength from faith, resilience and personal growth. A virtuous woman makes an impact and leaves a legacy of shaping the world through virtuous actions, this will be examined by examining practical steps by which a woman can make positive impacts on their communities and leaving lasting legacies through acts of kindness, leadership and service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In North America between 1894 and 1930, the rise of the “New Woman” sparked controversy on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world. As she demanded a public voice as well as private fulfillment through work, education, and politics, American journalists debated and defined her. Who was she and where did she come from? Was she to be celebrated as the agent of progress or reviled as a traitor to the traditional family? Over time, the dominant version of the American New Woman became typified as white, educated, and middle class: the suffragist, progressive reformer, and bloomer-wearing bicyclist. By the 1920s, the jazz-dancing flapper epitomized her. Yet she also had many other faces. Bringing together a diverse range of essays from the periodical press of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Martha H. Patterson shows how the New Woman differed according to region, class, politics, race, ethnicity, and historical circumstance. In addition to the New Woman’s prevailing incarnations, she appears here as a gun-wielding heroine, imperialist symbol, assimilationist icon, entrepreneur, socialist, anarchist, thief, vamp, and eugenicist. Together, these readings redefine our understanding of the New Woman and her cultural impact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Led by the provocative observations of Lawler, a member of President Bush's Council on Bioethics, the first section lays out the predicament caused by the gravitation of democracy toward a disbelief in absolute truth, leading to a "crisis of self-evidence." The second section searches for tools that one might use to restore health to the individual and community within American democracy, including spiritual faith, creative autonomy, and philosophic inquiry. The third section addresses the supposed "crisis in liberal education" caused by our "crisis of self-evidence." Included essays explore the extent to which the professed aims of liberal education may be at odds with the cultivation of dutiful citizens. The book closes by considering some of the political consequences of employing content-less freedom as the primary standard by which human behavior is judged."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Maternalism Reconsidered written by Marian van der Klein and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the late 19th century, competing ideas about motherhood had a profound impact on the development and implementation of social welfare policies. Calls for programmes aimed at assisting and directing mothers emanated from all quarters of the globe, advanced by states and voluntary organizations, liberals and conservatives, feminists and anti-feminists – a phenomenon that scholars have since termed ‘maternalism’. This volume reassesses maternalism by providing critical reflections on prior usages of the concept, and by expanding its meaning to encompass geographical areas, political regimes and cultural concerns that scholars have rarely addressed. From Argentina, Brazil and Mexico City to France, Italy, the Netherlands, the Soviet Ukraine, the United States and Canada, these case studies offer fresh theoretical and historical perspectives within a transnational and comparative framework. As a whole, the volume demonstrates how maternalist ideologies have been employed by state actors, reformers and poor clients, with myriad political and social ramifications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early-modern encounter between African and European merchants on the Guinea Coast, European social critics have invoked African gods as metaphors for misplaced value and agency, using the term “fetishism” chiefly to assert the irrationality of their fellow Europeans. Yet, as J. Lorand Matory demonstrates in The Fetish Revisited, Afro-Atlantic gods have a materially embodied social logic of their own, which is no less rational than the social theories of Marx and Freud. Drawing on thirty-six years of fieldwork in Africa, Europe, and the Americas, Matory casts an Afro-Atlantic eye on European theory to show how Marx’s and Freud’s conceptions of the fetish both illuminate and misrepresent Africa’s human-made gods. Through this analysis, the priests, practices, and spirited things of four major Afro-Atlantic religions simultaneously call attention to the culture-specific, materially conditioned, physically embodied, and indeed fetishistic nature of Marx’s and Freud’s theories themselves. Challenging long-held assumptions about the nature of gods and theories, Matory offers a novel perspective on the social roots of these tandem African and European understandings of collective action, while illuminating the relationship of European social theory to the racism suffered by Africans and assimilated Jews alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Western civilization founded by ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians? Can the ancient Egyptians usefully be called black? Did the ancient Greeks borrow religion, science, and philosophy from the Egyptians and Phoenicians? Have scholars ignored the Afroasiatic roots of Western civilization as a result of racism and anti-Semitism? In this collection of twenty essays, leading scholars in a broad range of disciplines confront the claims made by Martin Bernal in Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization. In that work, Bernal proposed a radical reinterpretation of the roots of classical civilization, contending that ancient Greek culture derived from Egypt and Phoenicia and that European scholars have been biased against the notion of Egyptian and Phoenician influence on Western civilization. The contributors to this volume argue that Bernal's claims are exaggerated and in many cases unjustified. Topics covered include race and physical anthropology; the question of an Egyptian invasion of Greece; the origins of Greek language, philosophy, and science; and racism and anti-Semitism in classical scholarship. In the conclusion to the volume, the editors propose an entirely new scholarly framework for understanding the relationship between the cultures of the ancient Near East and Greece and the origins of Western civilization.

Download or read book Thematics Reconsidered written by Trommler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to a new interest in thematic studies, the volume features essays by some of the leading scholars from the United States and Europe. In honor of Horst S. Daemmrich, the co-author with Ingrid Daemmrich of the handbook Themes and Motifs in Western Literature, the contributors reassess, both in theory and in case studies, the viability of thematics as part of contemporary literary criticism. They demonstrate the broad scope of methodologies between strict systematization of themes and motifs and reader-response conceptions of 'theming.' Special topics include a thematology of the Jewish people; motifs in folklore; a cluster on madness, hysteria, and mastery; the story of Judith; Cinderella; thematics in Dürrenmatt and Isaac Babel; chaos as a theme. A concluding chapter illuminates aspects of nineteenth-century literary history.
