Download or read book The Reluctant Virgin written by Victoria Jessen-Brown and published by Trafford. This book was released on 2004 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When twenty-year old Noelle Gregg sets out from small-town America to begin her junior year of college abroad, she is only marginally aware of just how limited her views of the world really are. Thrown together with two wacky and only slightly more enlightened roommates, Noelle slowly begins to progress from a naive, self-righteous girl into a tolerant and cultivated young woman. As the girls--Steph, Cara, and Noelle--romp together through Europe and life, the three of them share every experience from chancy hitchhiking escapades to being "escorted" out of a vineyard where they are caught sampling grapes. When Steph and Noelle become obsessed with the notion of kissing a pair of Frenchmen while in Paris, they discover that not every romantic interest is who he might appear. Throughout the book Noelle finds herself perpetually lost in major cities of the world, occasionally ending up in some very questionable locales. More memorable perhaps, than Noelle's jumbled adventures on a new continent, is her struggle to evolve both carnally and intellectually. Over a series of brief but intense romances, Noelle surrenders her heart to a number of captivating young Europeans. Relinquishing her virginity, however, is another matter. As the roommates reunite nearly three decades later to discover that Cara is fighting a deadly battle with cancer, fresh perspectives and fond memories intermittently contribute to the story's poignant themes. Ultimately, The Reluctant Virgin is a tale of youthful infatuation, enduring friendship, and a young woman's attempt to define herself.
Download or read book The Sworn Virgin written by Kristopher Dukes and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dukes's gripping historical novel tells the tale of a desperate Albanian woman who will do whatever it takes to keep her independence and seize control of her future...even if it means swearing to remain a virgin for her entire life. When eighteen-year-old Eleanora’s father is shot dead on the cobblestone streets of 1910 Albania, Eleanora must abandon her dream of studying art in Italy as she struggles to survive in a remote mountain village with her stepmother Meria. Nearing starvation, Meria secretly sells Eleanora into marriage with the cruel heir of a powerful clan. Intent on keeping her freedom, Eleanora takes an oath to remain a virgin for the rest of her life—a tradition that gives her the right to live as a man: she is now head of her household and can work for a living as well as carry a gun. Eleanora can also participate in the vengeful blood feuds that consume the mountain tribes, but she may not be killed—unless she forsakes her vow, which she has no intention of ever doing. But when an injured stranger stumbles into her life, Eleanora nurses him back to health, saving his life—yet risking her own as she falls in love with him... “It’s hard to believe that the culture Dukes describes was ever real, but the amount of research she put into this book definitely shines through. The story remains fascinating throughout; readers will definitely find it difficult to put this novel down.”—San Francisco Book Review

Download or read book The Displacement of the Body in lfric s Virgin Martyr Lives written by Dr Alison Gulley and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Displacement of the Body in Ælfric's Virgin Martyr Lives addresses 10th-century Old English hagiographical translations, from Latin source material, by the abbot and grammarian Ælfric. The vitae of Agnes, Agatha, Lucy, and Eugenia, and the married saints Daria, Basilissa, and Cecilia, included in Ælfric's s Old English Lives of Saints, recount the lives, persecution, and martyrdom of young women who renounce sex and, in the first four stories, marriage, to devote their lives to Christian service. They purport to be about the primacy of virginity and the role of the body in attaining sanctity. However, a comparison of the Latin sources with Ælfric's versions suggests that his translation style, characterized by simplifying the most important meanings of the text, omits certain words or entire episodes that foreground suppressed female sexuality as key to sainthood. The Old English Lives de-emphasize the physical nature of faith and highlight the importance of spiritual purity. In this volume, Alison Gulley explores how the context of the Benedictine Reform in late Anglo-Saxon England and Ælfric's commitment to writing for a lay audience resulted in a set of stories depicting a spirituality distinct from physical intactness.

Download or read book Virgin Capital written by Tami Navarro and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virgin Capital examines the cultural impact and historical significance of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) in the United States Virgin Islands. A tax holiday program, the EDC encourages financial services companies to relocate to these American-owned islands in exchange for an exemption from 90% of income taxes, and to stimulate the economy by hiring local workers and donating to local charitable causes. As a result of this program, the largest and poorest of these islands—St. Croix—has played host to primarily US financial firms and their white managers, leading to reinvigorated anxieties around the costs of racial capitalism and a feared return to the racial and gender order that ruled the islands during slavery. Drawing on fieldwork conducted during the boom years leading up to the 2008–2009 financial crisis, Virgin Capital provides ethnographic insight into the continuing relations of coloniality at work in the quintessentially "modern" industry of financial services and neoliberal "development" regimes, with their grounding in hierarchies of race, gender, class, and geopolitical positioning.
