Download or read book The Mirror Tells its Tale written by Daizal R. R. Samad and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mirror Tells Its Tale is the story of a woman's struggle to reassemble her shattered individuality and assert her humanity. She navigates the turbid waters of girlhood under a tyrannical and drunken father, of young womanhood in a chauvinistic workplace, womanhood under a husband who makes her life one of servitude. In these ways, the female narrator's life mirrors those of more than a billion women worldwide. And yet this female narrator is unique since she also has to maneuver her way through the minefields of poverty, racism, religious bigotry, class and political biases, and urban/rural tensions in an underdeveloped society. The narrator is intelligent and sensitive but is plagued by her insecurities regarding language, gender, and ethnicity. Her struggle is to triumph over domestic and social oppression, but it is also a struggle against a taught and learned sense of being inferior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know where we are with a fairy story. There is a cast of predictable characters, the hero or heroine is submitted to terrible trials, cruelty, and injustice but in the end the baddies get their comeuppance, good triumphs, and everyone lives happily ever after. In this book Manfred Kets de Vries, one of the world's leading authorities on the psychology of leadership, and a pioneering practitioner in the field of psychodynamic executive coaching, draws on the format of traditional fairy tales and tells us five stories that dramatize five key themes of dysfunctional leadership. The accompanying commentaries analyze each tale and examine the ways in which it applies to leadership behavior and organizational practices. This diagnostic element is supported by self-assessment tests that reinforce the main lessons of each tale and guide the reader's interpretation of the results. With Kets de Vries's guidance you'll be able to help your clients create best places to work, where everyone is the best they can be, and lives 'happily ever after'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between feminist theories and the law, and the way in which developments of the former have affected, and been affected by, the latter. The book takes as its starting point a study of women and culture on an international level, which demonstrates how religious and cultural influences have been fundamental in establishing contemporary legal and social mores. This provides the setting for an investigation into legal and social discrimination and inequality, and how this has been addressed by the emergence of feminism. A number of critiques and developments are examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has heard the story -- the dwarves, the talking mirror, the evil witch. But this tale doesn't belong to Snow White anymore.... Bert and Will, the twin sons of the baron of Ambercrest, are best friends. They do everything together and can't help it if trouble just seems to...find them. But the baron is fed up and has decided that separation will keep them out of mischief. One twin, he proclaims, will stay in Ambercrest for the summer, while the other will be sent to The Crags -- a foreboding, rocky outpost on the edge of the kingdom. It is there, hidden in a forbidden black chamber, that one of the boys discovers a bejeweled and mysterious mirror. What is the precious object? And why does it make him feel so...powerful? Soon the twins' kinship is replaced by dark magic and deceit, and a kingdom hangs dangerously in the balance. What becomes of one who is ruled by the forces of evil? And can brotherly love conquer a consuming quest for power?
