Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr (March 29, 1831 - March 10, 1919) was a British novelist and teacher. Her career is an illustration of the capacity of woman under stress of sorrow to conquer the world and be successful. Many of the plots of her stories are laid in Scotland and England. The scenes are from her girlhood recollection of surroundings. Her works include, Jan Vedder's Wife, The Border Shepherdess, Feet of Clay, Friend Olivia, The Bow of Orange Ribbon, Remember the Alamo, She Loved a Sailor, A Daughter of Fife, The Squire of Sanddal Side, Paul and Christina, Master of His Fate, The, Household of McNeil, The Last of the Macallisters, Between Two Loves, A Sister to Esau, A Rose of a Hundred Leaves, A Singer from the Sea, The Beads of Tasmer, The Hallam Succession, The Lone House, Christopher and Other Stories, The Lost Silver of Briffault. Early years and education: She was born on March 29, 1831 (1832 is also reported), in Ulverston, Lancashire, England as Amelia Edith Huddleston. Her father was Reverend William Huddleston, a Wesleyan minister.She was brought up in an atmosphere of culture and refinement, and early turned to books for recreation and instruction. When only nine years of age she became her father's companion and reader. Thus it was she read books far beyond her comprehension, but they tended to develop her mental qualities. A brief return to her father's financial stability allowed Barr to return to the Normal School in Glasgow where she learned the Stowe teaching method. Its principles are based on morality and lifelong learning, rather than learning by rote...............

THE COCKATOUCAN OR GREAT AUNT WILLOUGHBY MATILDA'S ears were red and shiny. So were her cheeks. Her hands were red too. This was because Pridmore had washed her. It was not the usual washing, which makes you clean and comfortable, but the "thorough good wash," which makes you burn and smart till you wish you could be like the poor little savages who do not know anything, and run about bare in the sun, and only go into the water when they are hot. Matilda wished she could have been born in a savage tribe instead of at Brixton. "Little savages," she said, "don't have their ears washed thoroughly, and they don't have new dresses that are prickly in the insides round their arms, and cut them round the neck. Do they, Pridmore?" Edith Nesbit (married name Edith Bland; 15 August 1858 - 4 May 1924) was an English author and poet; she published her books for children under the name of E. Nesbit.She wrote or collaborated on more than 60 books of fiction for children. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, a socialist organisation later affiliated to the Labour Party.Biography Nesbit was born in 1858 at 38 Lower Kennington Lane in Kennington, Surrey (now part of Greater London), the daughter of an agricultural chemist, John Collis Nesbit, who died in March 1862, before her fourth birthday.Her sister Mary's ill health meant that the family travelled around for some years, living variously in Brighton, Buckinghamshire, France (Dieppe, Rouen, Paris, Tours, Poitiers, Angoul me, Bordeaux, Arcachon, Pau, Bagn res-de-Bigorre, and Dinan in Brittany), Spain and Germany, before settling for three years at Halstead Hall in Halstead in north-west Kent, a location which later inspired The Railway Children (this distinction has also been claimed by the Derbyshire town of New Mills). When Nesbit was seventeen, the family moved back to London, living in South East London at Eltham, Elswick Road in Lewisham, Grove Park and Lee. At eighteen, Nesbit met the bank clerk Hubert Bland in 1877. Seven months pregnant, she married Bland on 22 April 1880, though she did not immediately live with him, as Bland initially continued to live with his mother. Their marriage was a stormy one. Early on Nesbit discovered that another woman believed she was Hubert's fiancee and had also borne him a child. A more serious blow came later when she discovered that her good friend, Alice Hoatson, was pregnant with Hubert's child. She had previously agreed to adopt Hoatson's child and allow Hoatson to live with her as their housekeeper. After she discovered the truth, they quarrelled violently and she suggested that Hoatson and the baby should leave; her husband threatened to leave Edith if she disowned the baby and its mother. Hoatson remained with them as a housekeeper and secretary and became pregnant by Bland again 13 years later. Edith again adopted Hoatson's child. Nesbit's children were Paul Bland (1880-1940), to whom The Railway Children was dedicated; Iris Bland (1881-1950s); Fabian Bland (1885-1900); Rosamund Bland (1886-1950), to whom The Book of Dragons was dedicated; and John Bland (1898-1971) to whom The House of Arden was dedicated. Her son Fabian died aged 15 after a tonsil operation; Nesbit dedicated a number of books to him: Five Children and It and its sequels, as well as The Story of the Treasure Seekers and its sequels. Nesbit's adopted daughter Rosamund collaborated with her on the book Cat Tales.

The metaphor of life as prison obsessed Edith Wharton, and, consequently, the theme of imprisonment appears in most of her 86 short stories. In the last several decades, critical studies of Wharton's fiction have focused on this theme of imprisonment, but invariably it is related to biographical considerations. This study, however, is not concerned with such insights and influences; rather, it concentrates on Wharton's skill as a craftsman in consciously and carefully fitting her narrative techniques to the imprisonment theme. Representative tales from Wharton's early period (1891-1904), her major phase (1905-1919), and her later years (1926-1937) have been examined and divided into four categories: individuals trapped by love and marriage, men and women imprisoned by the dictates of society, human beings victimized by the demands of art and morality, and persons paralyzed by fear of the supernatural.
This book examines the myriad identities and portrayals of Edith Cavell, as they have been constructed and handed down by propagandists, biographers and artists. Cavell was first introduced to the British public through a series of Foreign Office statements which claimed to establish the “facts” of her case. Her own voice, along with those of her family, colleagues and friends, were muted, as a monolithic image of a national heroine and martyr emerged. The book identifies two main areas of tension in her commemoration: firstly, the contrast between complexity of her own behaviour and motivations and the simplicity of the “Cavell Legend” that was constructed around her; and, secondly, the mismatch between the attempts of individuals and professional organisations to commemorate her life and work, and the public construction of a “heroine” who could be of value to the nation state.

Esta investiga o fornece os testemunhos reais de cerca de 20 mulheres idosas da zona rural da prov ncia de Chilo , no sul do Chile. Estes testemunhos foram interpretados a partir de algumas teorias sociol gicas, atrav s de determinadas chaves que transversalizam o discurso destas mulheres de Chilo , de forma a responder s quest es: como se manifestam as diferen as de g nero que se estabelecem na sociedade rural de Chilo ; onde se encontram as maiores desigualdades de g nero na sociedade rural de Chilo ; quais s o os efeitos destas desigualdades de g nero na vida das mulheres rurais de Chilo ; e quais s o os efeitos destas desigualdades de g nero na vida das mulheres rurais de Chilo ? As respostas a estas quest es permitiram-nos visualizar as diferen as de g nero que ocorrem neste contexto, considerando que esta sociedade mant m, nas suas rela es sociais, as tradi es ancestrais, os mitos e as cren as de uma cultura muito particular dada a sua condi o de "isolamento social e geogr fico", que se manifestam em pr ticas e cren as t picas da sociedade patriarcal tradicional.
Questa ricerca fornisce le testimonianze reali di circa 20 donne anziane dell'area rurale della provincia di Chilo , nel sud del Cile. Queste testimonianze sono state interpretate a partire da alcune teorie sociologiche, attraverso alcune chiavi di lettura che trasversalizzano il discorso di queste donne di Chilo , per rispondere alle domande: come si manifestano le differenze di genere che si stabiliscono nella societ rurale di Chilo ; dove si verificano le maggiori disuguaglianze di genere nella societ rurale di Chilo ; quali sono gli effetti di queste disuguaglianze di genere nella vita delle donne rurali di Chilo ; e quali sono gli effetti di queste disuguaglianze di genere nella vita delle donne rurali di Chilo ? Le risposte a queste domande ci hanno permesso di visualizzare le differenze di genere che si verificano in questo contesto, considerando che questa societ mantiene, nelle sue relazioni sociali, le tradizioni ancestrali, i miti e le credenze di una cultura molto particolare data la sua condizione di "isolamento sociale e geografico", che si manifestano in pratiche e credenze tipiche della societ patriarcale tradizionale.
Guio-me pelo desejo de dar continuidade ao meu livro anterior, que me permitiu conhecer a vida de mulheres rurais idosas: "G nero y Ruralidad1. Testemunhos de vida de mulheres rurais em Chilo ". Dado que o mundo rural se tem vindo a esbater para ser assimilado a uma urbanidade que, cada vez mais, se inscreve fortemente na p s-modernidade numa perspetiva sociocultural, senti a necessidade epistemol gica de mostrar a evolu o que a vida das mulheres de Chilo est a sofrer, tendo em conta as mudan as marcantes que ocorreram em Chilo nas ltimas d cadas. Neste livro mostro as transforma es sociais em curso no mundo de Chilo , atrav s da visibilidade da vida de mulheres identificadas n o s com o casamento e os filhos, como acontecia com as suas m es e av s, mas que come aram a conhecer outras facetas da vida social e cultural, o que as levou a alcan ar maiores realiza es pessoais, estruturando a sua pr pria vida a partir do mundo do trabalho remunerado e das mudan as no casamento e na fam lia. Este livro tamb m uma porta aberta para novas investiga es sobre o tema e encarna a minha paix o pela investiga o social.
Sono guidata dal desiderio di dare continuit al mio libro precedente, che mi ha permesso di conoscere la vita delle donne rurali anziane: "G nero y Ruralidad1. Testimonianze di vita di donne rurali a Chilo ". Dato che il mondo rurale andato sfumando per essere assimilato a un'urbanit che sempre pi si ascrive fortemente alla postmodernit da una prospettiva socioculturale e ho sentito la necessit epistemologica di mostrare l'evoluzione che la vita delle donne di Chilo sta vivendo, considerando i marcati cambiamenti che si sono verificati a Chilo negli ultimi decenni. In questo libro mostro le trasformazioni sociali in atto nel mondo di Chilo , attraverso la visibilit della vita di donne identificate non solo con il matrimonio e i figli, come accadeva alle loro madri e nonne, ma che hanno iniziato a conoscere altre sfaccettature della vita sociale e culturale, che le ha portate a raggiungere maggiori conquiste personali, strutturando la propria vita dal mondo del lavoro retribuito e dai cambiamenti nel matrimonio e nella famiglia. Questo libro anche una porta aperta a ulteriori ricerche sull'argomento e incarna la mia passione per la ricerca sociale.
Et gadekryds mellem ugebladsnovelle og avangardeEdith Rode havde en ballast af dannelse, og herværende J.e.d. opbyder i al sin tilsyneladende uskyld alt, hvad man kan drive ud af en sådan dannelse. Det er avantgardens principper, Edith Rode arbejder med, der er frit valg på alle hylder, men i en folkelig udgave. Det er det, der kommer til udtryk i den mageløse J.e.d.: Jeg elsker dig.– Og brevformen: den naturlige skrifts form, hvis en sådan findes, kendt og brugt af enhver. Altså en familiær form. Hvor afsender og modtager kender hinanden, eller i hvert fald ved, hvor hinanden bor, og således også ved ret præcist, hvad der tales om. Hvilket betyder, at man kan springe lige ud i det. Hvilket igen giver dette overskud. En leg med alle mulige tricks, et festfyrværkeri.Det er kulørt. Man kan synes kærlighedshistorien i J.e.d. er noget søgt, handlingsudviklingen er aldeles triviel, først er han i offensiven, så er hun, men det er præmissen, den må man tage eller lade være, men tager man den, får man til gengæld også alt det andet i tilgift.Et sandt overflødighedshorn af muligheder stillet til rådighed af denne meget dannede stillist.
