Download or read book Bitter Leafing Woman written by King-Aribisala, Karen and published by Malthouse Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in Nigeria, Bitter Leafing Woman relates the experiences of Woman as she chews the bitter leaves of patriarchal oppression in a bid to transform them into gender balanced sweetness. Here Woman becomes a symbol of the oppressed; of women and men alike. The style of writing ranges from plain prose as in The Edi Kai Ikong War, magical realism as in World of the Fat/Thin House, the social satire of The Bone Eater, the densely poetic and symbolic Broken Plate and the biblical imbued style of Bitter Leafing Woman who finding herself drowning in the soup of gender oppression for forty years attempts to murder her Deacon fiancé. In this collection we become involved with serious issues of conflicts, which nevertheless we try to treat with sardonic humour and insight.

Book excerpt: As Crimson Romance celebrates its first anniversary, we honor those pioneers who helped shape the direction of romance novels for all of us. Suspense, mystery, paranormal activity and love - always love - have been the cornerstone of the genre since the early 1970s. Now we have updated the covers to these classics - but not the words - and reissued these timeless reads to let you relive the thrill of discovering a world of romance all over again. One ambition burned in Fanny Hastings’ heart - to be an actress. Possessed of beauty, talent, and determination, she intended to let nothing and no one stand in the way of her career. Though she gave her body willingly, Fanny refused to surrender her freedom. Sought by a Maharaiah as his concubine, pursued by a Viscount, adored by a handsome young actor, she rejected them all in favor of her public’s adulation. But Fanny found that, no matter how hard she tried, she could not control her emotions; just when success was within her grasp, her wayward passions drew her into a sequence of events that threatened to destroy both her career and one man she couldn’t forget.

Download or read book How to Get Rid of Breat Cancer Using Bitter Leaf written by Dr Adel Tundey and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the most common cancer among women around the globe, breast cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The search for new and effective drugs to treat breast cancer is thus of central importance, given the drawbacks involved in current treatment methods that compromise their effectiveness. In this search for new drugs, medicinal plant extracts may be a potential source for alternative novel treatments of breast cancer. Notably, there has been growing interest in one particular plant as a source for anti-cancer drugs due to its diverse medicinal uses in traditional folk medicines. Vernonia amygdalina (VA) is a woody shrub that can grow up to 5 m tall, belonging to the family of Asteraceae. Native to Nigeria (West Africa) and widely grown in Africa, VA is also found in Asia, and is especially common in Singapore and Malaysia. The leaves exhibit a characteristic odor and bitter taste, explaining its common English name of 'bitter leaf'. Owing to the lack of documentation of this plant, different local names have been used in various countries, such as Etidod or Ewuro in Nigeria, South African leaf in Malaysia and Kenya, as well as Non-tree South in China. The medicinal properties of the plant, however, are widely recognized. As one of the plants that forms a major portion of the naturalist's pharmacopeia in Nigeria, VA has been shown to possess diverse therapeutic effects such as anti-malarial, anti-microbial (anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-plasmodial, etc.), anti-diabetic and anti-cancer effects. The anti-cancer effect of VA was first shown in human carcinoma of nasopharynx and later in leukemia cells P-388 and L-1210 using the chloroform extract of VA.

Download or read book Votes for Women written by Jean H. Baker and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of new scholarship on the struggle of American women for the suffrage contains eleven essays, each of which illuminates some aspect of the long battle that lasted from the 1850s to the passage of the suffrage amendment in 1920. From the movement's antecedents in the minds of women like Mary Wollstonecraft and Frances Wright, to the historic gathering at Seneca Falls in 1848, to the civil disobedience during World War I orchestrated by the National Woman's Party. Contributors focus on how the suffrage battle was interwoven with constitutional issues at the federal and state level and how the suffrage struggle played out in different regions, especially the West and the South, as well as the activities of opponents to women's voting. Baker's introductory essay sets the stage for revisiting suffrage by making explicit the similarities and differences in interpretations of suffrage and shows how the movement intersected with other events in American history and cannot be studied in isolation from them.

Download or read book Victorian touring actresses written by Janice Norwood and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-09 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian touring actresses brings new attention to women’s experience of working in nineteenth-century theatre by focusing on a diverse group of largely forgotten ‘mid-tier’ performers, rather than the usual celebrity figures. It examines how actresses responded to changing political, economic and social circumstances and how the women were themselves agents of change. Their histories reveal dynamic patterns of activity within the theatrical industry and expose its relationship to wider Victorian culture. With an innovative organisation mimicking the stages of an actress’s life and career, the volume draws on new archival research and plentiful illustrations to examine the challenges and opportunities facing the women as they toured both within the UK and further afield in North America and Australasia. It will appeal to students and researchers in theatre and performance history, Victorian studies, gender studies and transatlantic studies.
