Download or read book The Hearing Trumpet written by Leonora Carrington and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An old woman enters into a fantastical world of dreams and nightmares in this surrealist classic admired by Björk and Luis Buñuel. Leonora Carrington, painter, playwright, and novelist, was a surrealist trickster par excellence, and The Hearing Trumpet is the witty, celebratory key to her anarchic and allusive body of work. The novel begins in the bourgeois comfort of a residential corner of a Mexican city and ends with a man-made apocalypse that promises to usher in the earth’s rebirth. In between we are swept off to a most curious old-age home run by a self-improvement cult and drawn several centuries back in time with a cross-dressing Abbess who is on a quest to restore the Holy Grail to its rightful owner, the Goddess Venus. Guiding us is one of the most unexpected heroines in twentieth-century literature, a nonagenarian vegetarian named Marian Leatherby, who, as Olga Tokarczuk writes in her afterword, is “hard of hearing” but “full of life.”
Download or read book Feminism written by Peter Wright and published by Academic Century Press. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeled on the principles of feudal society, the feminist enterprise of designing male and female social classes has been several centuries in the making. Well before Marx and Marxism the feminist tradition was orchestrating its own version of the long march through the institutions of society, agitating for social and legal changes that would ultimately free women of most responsibilities while leaving men's responsibilities unchanged or increased. Peter Wright explores the nature of political feminism and the rhetorical devices that have proven so decisive for the success of the movement. Among those tactics are appeals to women's biological vulnerabilities and the necessity of male chivalry to secure women's protections and rise in status.
Download or read book Traditional to Modern Feminism A Shift of Power Not Values written by Ashmit Bhardwaj and published by Becomeshakeaspeare.com. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I consider myself a traditional feminist. However, through the course of several decades, feminism has slowly radicalised itself. Feminism used to be about equality between the sexes and treating people with dignity. However, now, feminism is full of dangerous, iniquitous, and harmful ideologies which irreparably and seriously harm the people of our society, both men and women. Some of these ideologies include glorifying promiscuity, wrecking the nuclear family unit, false victimhood narratives, modern gender theory, the steady societal and institutional feminisation of men, and so much more. In this book, we are going to debunk these ideologies, and you are going to learn about how evolutionary biology, masculinity, femininity, moral values, and ethics made our civilisation great, and how modern, radical feminism seeks to undermine these values, ethics, traditions, and norms, posing a great detriment to our society and harming everyone in the process.

Download or read book Gender and Feminist Theory in Law and Society written by Madhavi Sunder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume chronicles a quarter-century of feminist theorizations on equality and liberty. The essays demonstrate a continuing commitment to feminist method (a democratic notion that all people have a right to participate in the production of knowledge of the world, including legal knowledge) and manifest feminism's continuing critical tradition (namely, theorists' willingness to see multiple factors, including feminism itself, as obstructing enlightened constructions of the world). Taken together, the essays suggest that liberty to make the world is not just a means to an end - equality - but is a substantive end in itself.
Download or read book Women and Civil Society in Turkey written by Prof Dr Ömer Çaha and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-12-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on three important interrelated issues, Women and Civil Society in Turkey challenges the classical definition, developed in the West, of civil society as an equivalent of the public sphere in which women are excluded. First it shows how feminist movements have developed a new definition of civil society to include women. Second it draws attention to the role of women in the modernization of Turkey with special reference to the debate on the possibility of an indigenous feminist movement. Finally, it underlines the contribution of feminist, Islamic and Kurdish women’s movements in the transition from an ideologically constructed, uniform public sphere to a multi-public domain. Giving attention to the influence of diverse women’s movements over Turkish political values this book sheds light into the issue of how a feminine civil society has been constructed as part of a plural public space in Turkey. Ömer Çaha argues that this new public realm is the product of values and institutions which have been developed by diverse women’s groups who have succeeded in eliminating the traditional barricades between public and domestic spheres and in steering women into public life without sacrificing their own values.

Download or read book Women in the Language and Society of Japan written by Naoko Takemaru and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-04-19 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist critics have long considered language a primary vehicle for the transmission of sexist values in a society. This much-needed sociolinguistic critique examines the representation of women in traditional Japanese language and society. Derogatory and highly-sexualized terms are placed in historical context, and the progress of nonsexist language reform is reviewed. Central to this work are the individual voices of Japanese women who took part in a survey, expressing their candid thoughts and concerns regarding biased gender representations. In their own words, they give voice to the reality of being female within the constraints of a traditional--and sometimes misogynistic--language.
