The branding of Singapore International Airlines with the image of a beautiful, petite and servile 'Oriental' woman dressed in figure-hugging sarong-kebaya is one of the world's longest running and most successful advertising campaigns.But this image does not simply advertise a service; it is part of a global and national regime of symbolic constructions of gender that today is seen as outdated and sexist, and bearing little relation to modern Singapore where women have good access to education and increased life choices resulting from engagement in the wage economy. The nation's economic success has been a force for their liberation.One catastrophic consequence of women's changed lives has been the plunge in fertility rates. Singapore has one of the world's lowest despite energetic government campaigns encouraging women to have more babies and men to be more 'masculine'. The failure of these campaigns and rethinking of the Singapore Girl highlight a key premise of this book: there are limits to the power of discursive constructions of gender in the national interest.

If you want to be part of a revolution, this book is a great place to start. You can make a difference---in the world, in your town, in your school, in your life. The Revolution Devotionalhelps you understand and develop character traits that will turn you into a revolutionary for God. No boring reading here---instead it's fast-paced and fun. Each day you'll read a verse of the Bible, then a short devotional about the character in that verse. There's additional Scripture for you to read if you want, plus a hilarious list relating to the day's topic. For example, on the topic of being different from the crowd, you might get this list: Seven Ways to Be Really Different There's different...and there's really different. Here are seven ways to achieve the latter status: * Color your eyebrows with purple Magic Marker.* Insist that people call you 'Butterscotch.'* Wear bumper stickers on the back of your coat.* Declare yourself a 'meat-arian' and argue for vegetable rights.* Talk only in Dr. Seuss rhymes.* At the lunch table, do play-by-play commentary for a game going on in your imagination.* Randomly blurt out the phrase, 'Now that's what I'm talking about'---even when no one is talking.
