Book excerpt: Women were sold on the idea that if we worked hard we could Have IT ALL: fabulous careers, great spouses, wonderful families, financial freedom, success, friends, hobbies, philanthropy, and time for community activities. So many of us set our sights on that direction and started running toward our goals. Striving to be a successful working woman, wife, mother, sister, friend, and daughter may make you feel overworked and overcommitted as JJ DiGeronimo did. Her burning desire to achieve the ALL by moving in the direction of perceived success was more empty and unfilling. As she checked off each prerequisite needed to get it ALL, she was surprised that she didn't feel the happiness she had envisioned and expected. She realized that during her pursuit to achieve society's plan, she was led astray from her best self forcing her to stop, evaluate, and recalculate her desires. With the help of many women ahead of her, JJ DiGeronimo initiated a list of best practices, charts and insights to redesign her ALL. Empowered by the energy, wisdom and inspiration collected from hundreds of women, DiGeronimo shares this wisdom with all women. In A Working Woman's GPS, When the Plan to Have it All Leads You Astray, DiGeronimo shares her story and the stories of many women who have worked through their plan to Have IT ALL. Through a collection of stories, exercises, and advice, DiGeronimo helps women rediscover their own journey and bring energy, wisdom, and inspiration to the forefront. In this engaging book, she invites the readers to use their knowledge, inspiration, and insight to create their own path to Having Their ALL.

Download or read book The Evolution of British General Practice 1850 1948 written by Anne Digby and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999-06-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on a formative period in the development of modern general practice. The foundations of present-day health care in Britain were created in the century before the National Health Service of 1948, when medicine was transformed in its structure, professional status, economic organization, and therapeutic power. In the first full-length study of general practice for these years, Anne Digby deploys an impressive range of hitherto unused archival material and oral testimony to probe the character of general practitioners careers and practices, and to assess their relationships with local communities, a wider society, and the state. An evolutionary approach is adopted to explain the origins and nature of the many changes in medical practice, and the lives of ordinary doctors. The study also explores the gendered nature of medical practice as reflected in the experience of a golden band of women GPs, and examines the hidden role of the doctors wife in the practice.

Download or read book A Woman s Right to Know written by Jesse Olszynko-Gryn and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of pregnancy testing, and how it transformed from an esoteric laboratory tool to a commonplace of everyday life. Pregnancy testing has never been easier. Waiting on one side or the other of the bathroom door for a “positive” or “negative” result has become a modern ritual and rite of passage. Today, the ubiquitous home pregnancy test is implicated in personal decisions and public debates about all aspects of reproduction, from miscarriage and abortion to the “biological clock” and IVF. Yet, only three generations ago, women typically waited not minutes but months to find out whether they were pregnant. A Woman’s Right to Know tells, for the first time, the story of pregnancy testing—one of the most significant and least studied technologies of reproduction. Focusing on Britain from around 1900 to the present day, Jesse Olszynko-Gryn shows how demand shifted from doctors to women, and then goes further to explain the remarkable transformation of pregnancy testing from an obscure laboratory service to an easily accessible (though fraught) tool for every woman. Lastly, the book reflects on resources the past might contain for the present and future of sexual and reproductive health. Solidly researched and compellingly argued, Olszynko-Gryn demonstrates that the rise of pregnancy testing has had significant—and not always expected—impact and has led to changes in the ways in which we conceive of pregnancy itself.

Download or read book A Guidebook to South Carolina Historical Markers written by and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Carolina Historical Marker Program, established in 1936, has approved the installation of more than 1,700 interpretive plaques, each highlighting how places both grand and unassuming have played important roles in the history of the Palmetto State. These roadside markers identify and interpret places valuable for understanding South Carolina's past, including sites of consequential events and buildings, structures, or other resources significant for their design or their association with institutions or individuals prominent in local, state, or national history. This volume includes a concise history of the South Carolina Historical Marker Program and an overview of the marker application process. For those interested in specific historic periods or themes, the volume features condensed lists of markers associated with broader topics such as the American Revolution, African American history, women's history, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. While the program is administered by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, most markers are proposed by local organizations that serve as a marker's official sponsor, paying its cost and assuming responsibility for its upkeep. In that sense, this inventory is a record not just of places and subjects that the state has deemed worthy of acknowledgment, but of those that South Carolinians themselves have worked to enshrine.
