Download or read book When the Sisters Said Farewell written by Michael P. Caruso and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2012-03-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Sisters Said Farewell tells an important story of the contributions of Catholic elementary schools to the United States by chronicling the experiences and insights of religious women (nuns) who were the last members of their communities to serve in parish elementary schools, and of those lay men and women who were the first to serve in those roles traditionally filled by the sisters. The dramatic numerical transition from the preponderance of religious women to lay leadership from the 1960s to the 1980s has been documented; this book describes the how and why sisters left Catholic schools. This narrative also provides instructive insights about leadership, transitions, and current trends in religious life and Catholic education. As all educators in Catholic, private, and public schools grapple with questions of delivering an excellent education, this book offers a glimpse into the workings of one of the most amazing educational enterprises in the history of the United States.

Book excerpt: In his seocnd book of the "Strengthening The Black community" series, Pierre D. Perry, author of "Black Fatherhood:Exploring The Importance Of The Black Father," takes another in-depth look into a very controversial issue plaguing the black community. This time around Pierre explores domestic violence and abuse against black women. Domestic violence is a crime that affects all races, socioeconomic levels, and cultures. But experts say that black women are at a greater risk to experience the grimmest of all domestic violence statistics. Black women are about 3x's more likely to die at the hands of a partner than members of other racial groups. Even though domestic violence is not just an African-American problem, African-Americans are more disproportionately affected by it. But just like in his aforementioned book, Pierre didn't just rely on statistics and the so-called experts for information, once again he went straight to the real source---The Black community. He interviewed black women and black men from all around the country to get their views, stories, lessons, and opinions on such a touchy and personal subject. Please join Pierre as he tries to save our sisters by expolring the causes and the solutions to domestic violence and abuse against black women.

Download or read book Revolutionizing Women s Healthcare written by Hannah Dudley-Shotwell and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2021 Frances Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize from the Western Association of Women Historians (WAWH)​ Revolutionizing Women’s Healthcare is the story of a feminist experiment: the self-help movement. This movement arose out of women’s frustration, anger, and fear for their health. Tired of visiting doctors who saw them as silly little girls, suffering shame when they asked for birth control, seeking abortions in back alleys, and holding little control over their own reproductive lives, women took action. Feminists created “self-help groups” where they examined each other’s bodies and read medical literature. They founded and ran clinics, wrote books, made movies, undertook nationwide tours, and raided and picketed offending medical institutions. Some performed their own abortions. Others swore off pharmaceuticals during menopause. Lesbian women found “at home” ways to get pregnant. Black women used self-help to talk about how systemic racism affected their health. Hannah Dudley-Shotwell engagingly chronicles these stories and more to showcase the creative ways women came together to do for themselves what the mainstream healthcare system refused to do.

Download or read book Constructive Feminism written by Daphne Spain and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Constructive Feminism, Daphne Spain examines the deliberate and unintended spatial consequences of feminism's second wave, a social movement dedicated to reconfiguring power relations between women and men. Placing the women's movement of the 1970s in the context of other social movements that have changed the use of urban space, Spain argues that reform feminists used the legal system to end the mandatory segregation of women and men in public institutions, while radical activists created small-scale places that gave women the confidence to claim their rights to the public sphere.Women’s centers, bookstores, health clinics, and domestic violence shelters established feminist places for women’s liberation in Boston, Los Angeles, and many other cities. Unable to afford their own buildings, radicals adapted existing structures to serve as women’s centers that fostered autonomy, health clinics that promoted reproductive rights, bookstores that connected women to feminist thought, and domestic violence shelters that protected their bodily integrity. Legal equal opportunity reforms and daily practices of liberation enhanced women’s choices in education and occupations. Once the majority of wives and mothers had joined the labor force, by the mid-1980s, new buildings began to emerge that substituted for the unpaid domestic tasks once performed in the home. Fast food franchises, childcare facilities, adult day centers, and hospices were among the inadvertent spatial consequences of the second wave.

Download or read book Catholicity Ain T What It Used to Be written by Danny Brock and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danny Brocks Catholicity Aint What It Used to Be is a rich experience in practical theology, a theology for everyone, because it is a deeply personal reflection on the faith journey, the story of his own soul as a Catholic in the postVatican II church and in a very challenging postmodern culture. As Brock outlines the challenges of the New Evangelization facing teens, the Catholic school, religious educators, parents, and the institutional church, he describes vividly the mess we sometimes find ourselves in, and at the same time he suggests ways of stepping through that mess by bringing to life the beauty and richness of our Catholic faith and the joy of serving Jesus as we journey with young people in our Christian community. Brocks reflections serve as a GPS to help us recalculate where we find ourselves as church and in our culture today as the evangelizing community of Jesus. His unique charism in finding hope in the young persons he serves becomes a great gift of hope for the pilgrim church today. Father James Mulligan, CSC, nationally renowned Catholic educator and author of Catholic Education: The Future Is Now
