Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lone Woman in Africa: Six Years on the Kroo Coast I well remember one Sabbath afternoon. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Swan, had announced that he would preach a sermon to the children. We sat in our classes with our teachers, the infant class in front. I was in the infant class, on the very front row; and I well remember that my feet did not touch the floor, for I was but seven years old. Miss Jennie Trever, our teacher, sat at the end of the same seat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jo Rust is one of the world's most prominent female adventurers. In 2011 she set out to become the first woman in history to circumnavigate the African continent on her own. No support. No back up vehicles. A story she shares in Woman Alone Around Africa - a tale of courage and overcoming the seemingly impossible. First Jo attempted to travel around Africa on her bicycle, she made it all the way to northern Angola, 3500 kilometers away from home, until her bicycle was stolen by 4 machete-wielding men. Then, in a miraculous turn of events the Angolan government steps in to become the main sponsor of Jo's journey as she starts all over again, this time on a motorcycle, even though she had never ridden a motorcycle before. Woman Alone Around Africa is about so much more than just an epic adventure. It's about the people in Jo's life who helped make her dream a reality and the life changing experiences had along the way. It's about having enough courage to do something even when you are afraid and overcoming crippling fear and a life-long battle against depression to achieve something extraordinary.

Download or read book A Woman s Odyssey Into Africa written by Hanny Lightfoot Klein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the intriguing story of one woman’s mid-life flight from her stultified, middle-class, psychologically crippling, and unfulfilled existence into a world of high adventure, danger, hardship, and endurance, which ultimately leads her to autonomy and recognition. In her new book, A Woman’s Odyssey Into Africa, Hanny Lightfoot-Klein chronicles three year-long solo backpacking treks through remote areas of sub-Saharan Africa. In the process, she discovers the mainsprings of strength within herself as she follows her own drummer, finding the courage to face the darkest and most secret convolutions of her own mind. She weaves the story of her journey through the men, women, and children she meets, and the dangers and adventures she faces as a lone woman traveler--part and parcel of the path she has chosen to take. She infuses readers at any stage of life, especially women, with the courage to do what their individual drummer dictates, as she did, to find fulfillment in life. Lightfoot-Klein assures readers in her book: “Even a life of quiet desperation is not beyond redemption. Change starts with a reassessment of the distortions in self image one has been programmed to accept. It starts with an inner rebellion, a realization that something has been amiss and a desire to set it right, if only to leave a better heritage for one’s children. And then, most important of all, it begins with a single, wild, breathless moment, where one picks up an unaccustomed load and steps off into the unknown . . . ” Her message is truly for everyone.
Download or read book Women in African Cinema written by Lizelle Bisschoff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in African Cinema: Beyond the Body Politic showcases the very prolific but often marginalised presence of women in African cinema, both on the screen and behind the camera. This book provides the first in-depth and sustained examination of women in African cinema. Films by women from different geographical regions are discussed in case studies that are framed by feminist theoretical and historical themes, and seen through an anti-colonial, philosophical, political and socio-cultural cinematic lens. A historical and theoretical introduction provides the context for thematic chapters exploring topics ranging from female identities, female friendships, women in revolutionary cinema, motherhood and daughterhood, women’s bodies, sexuality, and spirituality. Each chapter serves up a theoretical-historical discussion of the chosen theme, followed by two in-depth case studies that provide contextual and transnational readings of the films as well as outlining production, distribution and exhibition contexts. This book contributes to the feminist anti-racist revision of the canon by placing African women filmmakers squarely at the centre of African film culture. Demonstrating the depth and diversity of the feminine or female aesthetic in African cinema, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of African cinema, media studies and African studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and reflects on peacebuilding, which emerges from the experiences and realities of women’s lives in East Africa, specifically, in Uganda.

Download or read book How a Single Woman Can Overcome Stigmatisation written by Esther Kuganja and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear friends, this book was birthed as a result of the pain I witnessed and also experienced as a single woman. My life evolved from desperation to acceptance, peace with self and with God, and finally, fulfilment as a single woman. I therefore wish to share my life lessons with you and be a source of encouragement to many single ladies out there. This book also goes a long way to change the wrong perception of singleness and to help people to realise that singleness is one of the best gifts in life with so many advantages that society is blinded to. If you are a single lady (most especially, one of the older ones of thirty-five years and above), this book will bring back your widest smile, brightest glow, and self-esteem. It will enlighten you about the true meaning of life and its purpose. The book will take you through the stages of self-discovery and the realignment of your priorities. It will equip you with practical guidelines of how to live a fulfilled life despite the increased singleness in our world today. You will get to know people who, despite being single, have great achievements and legacies. You will discover that you are not alone. To the relatives and friends of the single lady and the general public, you will not only be shown the reality of the discrimination and the negative effect of the pressure put upon unmarried women but also be helped to adapt the right attitude in supporting them in fulfilling lifes purpose. To the church leaders and all Christians, you will discover the damage done by adopting wrong doctrines and attitudes towards single women. These doctrines are contrary to kingdom principles, and we need to know how they can be corrected.
