Download or read book I Am Woman written by Victoria Howard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08-15 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Womens Feminist Movement (Women's Lib) started in the western world in the 1800's and has gone through three waves. The 'first' wave was in the 1800's, and was orientated around the stations of middle or upper class women. The 'second' wave began in the 1960's. It addressed unofficial inequalities, sexuality, and perhaps the most controversially, "reproductive rights." The 'third' wave started in the 1980's and continues through the present. It focused on embracing contradictions, conflict and irrationality. I AM WOMAN --The Book, is the 'fourth' wave in the Feminist Movement. It is the final wave : the Tsunami Wave! The book, like the women's organization, will help quide women to empowerment and transformation. It is for women seeking to re-invent themselves, and becoming the beautiful butterfly they really are. I AM WOMAN will finally re-unite men and women, and women can now stand tall and proudly say : "I AM WOMAN"....Watch me soar!

Download or read book Am I a Woman written by Cynthia Eller and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this smart, intimate, and conversational book, Cynthia Eller delves into the twin thickets of gender theory and everyday experience to ask how we decide who is a woman-and why we find the answer important. Is a woman defined by her anatomy? Does she perceive the world differently than men? Is it her behavior that somehow marks her as inescapably female? Or is it a matter of how others evaluate her? Eller's answers demonstrate that the question is far more complicated, and its effects more pernicious, than it might at first appear.

Book excerpt: When woman removes all the definitions that the world uses to define her, everything from her job to her wardrobe; from her hair and nails to the job she keeps, or even the job roles and stereotypes of cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, tending to children, and paying bills, what is left? What does the bare, vulnerable, unadulterated woman look like? What does she need? What does she desire? What does she express? The pieces in this book are only small reflections of the larger picture. I, being one woman, can fathom only so many feelings and expressions that only when we collect the expressions of every woman on this earth, can we realize the full essence and beauty of woman. For now, let us begin the conversation inch by inch, poem by poem, woman by woman.
