Revolution and Women’s Autobiography in Nineteenth-Century France

Revolution and Women’s Autobiography in Nineteenth-Century France

Kathleen Hart

BRILL
2004
nidottu
Here for the first time is a book devoted exclusively to the topic of women’s autobiography in nineteenth-century France. Tracing the rise of autobiography in relation to women’s domestic confinement, Kathleen Hart demonstrates how Flora Tristan, George Sand, and Louise Michel transformed the genre. Inspired by Romantic socialism, each of these remarkable autobiographers links the story of her personal development to socio-historic change. In the wake of the 1830 Revolution, Tristan chronicles social unrest as she relates her progressive transformation into humanity’s “Woman Guide” in Peregrinations of a Pariah (1838). Writing in the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution, Sand consolidates her role as a mediator between the rich and the poor in Story of My Life (1854). A legend of the 1871 Paris Commune, Michel establishes herself as the poet and prophet of a mythical Revolution yet to come in her Memoirs (1886). Exploring the dynamic interplay between revolution and feminist acts of self-affirmation, Revolution and Women’s Autobiography in Nineteenth-Century France will appeal to scholars of history, French culture, literature, and women’s studies.

Kathleen McCue; Ron Bonn

Saint Martin's Griffin,U.S.
2011
nidottu
In the fifteen years since it was published, "How To Help Children Through a Parent's Serious Illness" has become the standard work on the subject. It offers supportive, practical advice, including what to tell children about their parent's illness, how to recognize early-warning signs in a child's drawings, sleep patterns, school work and eating habits, and when and where to get professional help. But those fifteen years have brought new developments that will be explored in this greatly expanded new edition, including the dangers and opportunities of the Internet, a deep new understanding of hereditary diseases, the impact of the explosive growth in single-parent families, and new insights into how family trauma and mental illness may affect children.

Democracy and the Rise of Women's Movements in Sub-Saharan Africa

Democracy and the Rise of Women's Movements in Sub-Saharan Africa

Kathleen M. Fallon

Johns Hopkins University Press
2008
sidottu
Despite a late and fitful start, democracy in Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe has recently shown promising growth. Kathleen M. Fallon discusses the role of women and women's advocacy groups in furthering the democratic transformation of formerly autocratic states. Using Ghana as a case study, Fallon examines the specific processes women are using to bring about political change. She assesses information gathered from interviews and surveys conducted in Ghana and assays the existing literature to provide a focused look at how women have become involved in the democratization of sub-Saharan nations. The narrative traces the history of democratic institutions in the region-from the imposition of male-dominated mechanisms by western states to latter-day reforms that reflect the active resurgence of women's political power within many African cultures-to show how women have made significant recent political gains in Ghana and other emerging democracies. Fallon attributes these advances to a combination of forces, including the decline of the authoritarian state and its attendant state-run women's organizations, newly formed constitutions, and newfound access to good-governance funding. She draws the study into the larger debate over gendered networks and democratic reform by exploring how gender roles affect and are affected by the state in Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. In demonstrating how women's activism is evolving with and shaping democratization across the region, Democracy and the Rise of Women's Movements in Sub-Saharan Africa reveals how women's social movements are challenging the barriers created by colonization and dictatorships in Africa and beyond.

You need a businesslike mindset, the ability to locate and pitch lucrative markets, efficient work habits, and solid relationships with people in your industry. During the author's first year of fulltime freelancing, she only made $17,000. But by her sixth year, she cracked the six-figure mark. After interviewing dozens of other six-figure freelancers, the author first published Six-Figure Freelancing: The Writer's Guide to Making More Money in 2005. Now the book's been revised and updated for its second edition. Six-Figure Freelancing will show you how to: - Take a business-like approach to your freelance career; - Negotiate more writer-friendly contracts with editors and clients; - Identify lucrative freelance markets; - Pursue book projects; - Create your own writing templates; - Work more efficiently; - Create and maintain relationships with clients and colleagues; - Set short- and long-term goals; - Use social media to enhance your business and attract clients; - Branch into lucrative new freelance areas; and - Sustain a successful long-term career. Even while the publishing world has undergone dramatic change, there are plenty of promising opportunities for freelancers. This updated, expanded version of Six-Figure Freelancing includes an entirely new section on markets; advice about using social media and blogging to build your career: more sample queries and templates: and the latest advice from successful six-figure freelancers you can use to sustain a long-term freelance career. Both new and experienced writers will benefit from the practical strategies it includes. Author Kelly James-Enger has been a fulltime freelancer for more than 16 years; her work has appeared in more than 60 national magazines including Redbook, Self, Runner's World, Fitness, Parents.
