Jae also holds a master's degree in Women's Studies from San Diego State University. The voices in this book are representative of the author and the woman who lives inside of him (narrated in italics) as they journey through their transition from woman to man."The Woman Inside Of Me" is Jae Escoto's daring narrative to take us into the struggles of becoming our fiercest selves. Everything that I have witnessed in Escoto's spoken word work on stage is in this collection, an epic slam poem with an insightful self-probing that moves the reader to haunting depths and breathtaking heights. Here is a literary work that enfolds with layers of poetic passages and dialogue that are sharp as truth, a truly Filipinx work that explodes the foundation of genders and what it means to love and its fragility. A stunning piece of art from beginning to end, intense and full of glorious epiphanies." -Regie Cabico, Poet & Publisher Capturing Fire Press "In this multigenre work, Jae Escoto chronicles the year he comes out as a trans man and prepares himself for hormone treatments. The dual and dueling voices in The Woman Inside of Me speak with uncertainty, fear, anger, pain, determination, compassion, and love. Escoto's language, tonal shifts, and multiple genres evoke an immediacy that positions the reader as witness unable and unwilling to look away from his wonderfully terrible struggle to be 'unapologetically' he/him." --- Catherine Cucinella, Ph.D., Assistant Professor (retired) California State University San Marcos; author, Poetics of the Body: Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elizabeth Bishop, Marilyn Chin, and Marilyn Hacker (Palgrave). "In his electrifying debut book, Jae Escoto plunges the reader deep into the personal dialogue underlying his journey to live as his fullest self. He makes it impossible for us to see our world as separate from his story, or from the many complicated stories that follow us every day. Escoto's genius is his emotional accuracy. He pens a stunningly authentic voyage all his own. In this, he empowers all of us to breathe more of our own air into our own lives, regardless of what already sits inside of us." -- Matt Storm, transgender artist and curator, leadership team member of the LGBTQ Caucus of the Society for Photographic Education, inaugural fellow of STABLE Arts

Download or read book A Woman Like Me written by Bettye LaVette and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed R&B singer Bettye LaVette celebrates her storied career in show business in this compelling memoir. As a teenager in Detroit, Bettye LaVette had a hit single with “My Man—He’s a Lovin’ Man.” By the time she was twenty, she had faded back into obscurity and was barely surviving in New York City. For the next forty years, despite being associated with legends such as Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, and James Brown, she remained relatively unknown outside a circle of devoted fans. Every time it seemed that her dream of stepping into the spotlight was finally coming true, bad luck smashed her hopes, again and again. Then, after a lifetime of singing in clubs and lounges, her unforgettable televised performances at the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors and at President Obama’s pre-Inaugural Concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 2009 won her the recognition she had sought for her entire life. Bettye LaVette’s career has been a one-of-a-kind roller-coaster ride through the world of music; it has taken her from the peaks to the pits and back. In this unflinchingly honest memoir, she boldly recounts her freewheeling childhood—her parents ran an illegal liquor business out of their living room, which was frequented by some of the top acts of the forties and fifties—her short-lived conquest of the R&B world in the 1960s, her decline into poverty and despair, and her recent comeback and career revival, with two Grammy-nominated CDs and numerous appearances on major television talk shows. Poignant, brazen, and fearless, A Woman Like Me is a tour de force from one of the most outspoken female performers singing today—and she’s a force to be reckoned with.

Download or read book The Woman in Me written by Marlene Clark and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willem de Kooning's six numbered Woman paintings have incited a maelstrom of critical controversy. At their debut in 1953, the critics were incensed by the ugliness of the images themselves and by the inclusion of vestiges of the figure in abstraction. Consequently, they questioned de Kooning's attitude toward women and commitment to the Abstract Expressionist project. Countering such objections to de Kooning's psychological state and artistic goals, Marlene Clark's The Woman in Me: Willem de Kooning, Woman I-VI argues that these canvases could be read as self-portraits, negating claims of misogyny and explaining the presence of figuration amidst abstraction. On a number of occasions, de Kooning admitted that the images on these canvases were "me--but with big shoulders." The Woman in Me focuses on de Kooning's propensity to "play" with the sexed body in his paintings. Clark argues that earlier criticism may have missed a more philosophical dimension of de Kooning's paintings, one that explores the malleability of representations of biological sex and the male/female binary.

Download or read book Things I Should Have Said written by Jamie Lynn Spears and published by Worthy Books. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this intimate national bestselling memoir, actress and musician Jamie Lynn Spears opens up for the first time, telling her unfiltered story on her own terms. You’ve read the headlines, but you don’t know Jamie Lynn Spears. The world first met Jamie Lynn as a child star, when it was her job to perform, both on set and for the press. She spent years escaping into different characters—on All That, Zoey 101, and even in the role as Britney’s kid sister. But as she grew up, faced a teen pregnancy, raised her daughter on her own, pursued a career, and learned to stand on her own two feet, the real Jamie Lynn started to take center stage - a raw, blemished, and imperfect woman, standing in her own power. Despite growing up in one of America's most tabloid-famous families, Jamie Lynn has never told her story in her own words. In Things I Should Have Said, she talks frankly about the highs and lows, sharing what it was like traveling the world as a kid, how she moved into acting and performing herself, what life as a child star took from her, and the life-changing reality of becoming a teen mom. She talks about how she finally found love and how the mistakes she has made have taught her more than anything else. She also shares vulnerably about how the ATV accident that nearly took her daughter's life brought her back to her faith and caused her to reevaluate and redirect her life. Frank, courageous, and inspiring, Things I Should Have Said is a portrait of a wife, momma, sister, daughter, actress, and musician doing the best she could to show up for herself and teach her daughters to have the courage to love every part of themselves, too.
Download or read book The Woman I Wanted to Be written by Diane von Furstenberg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most influential, admired, and colorful women of our time: fashion designer and philanthropist Diane von Furstenberg tells the most personal stories from her life, about family, love, beauty and business: “It’s so good, you’ll want to take notes” (People). Diane von Furstenberg started with a suitcase full of jersey dresses and an idea of who she wanted to be—in her words, “the kind of woman who is independent and who doesn’t rely on a man to pay her bills.” She has since become that woman, establishing herself as a major force in the fashion industry, all the while raising a family, maintaining that “my children are my greatest creation.” In The Woman I Wanted to Be, “an intriguing page-turner filled with revelations” (More), von Furstenberg reflects on her extraordinary life—from her childhood in Brussels to her days as a young, jet-set princess, to creating the dress that came to symbolize independence and power for generations of women. With remarkable honesty and wisdom, von Furstenberg mines the rich territory of what it means to be a woman. She opens up about her family and career, overcoming cancer, building a global brand, and devoting herself to empowering other women. This “inspiring, compelling, deliciously detailed celebrity autobiography…is as much of a smashing success as the determined, savvy, well-intentioned woman who wrote it” (Chicago Tribune).
