Women in Anglo-Saxon England and the Impact of 1066
"A mere chattel, inferior to men, or their social equal -- what was the role of the Anglo-Saxon woman? In this stimulating book, Christine Fell shows how for many women Anglo-Saxon England was a golden age of power and wealth, culture and education. From her analysis of the primary sources -- wills, charters, letters and chronicles -- and drawing on the evidence of place-names and poetry, Professor Fell argues that, in court, convent, or manor house, Anglo-Saxon women exploited to the full the resources and opportunities available to them. Whether we look at Bede's account of St. Hild, the life of Æđelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, or countless other women, this pattern emerges with astonishing fullness and coherence. The picture can only be completed by looking at what came after. The final two chapters by Cecily Clark and Elizabeth Williams show the impact of the Norman Conquest and the Gregorian reform. Within a century the tide had turned : in literature the image of women lost touch with reality, and in reality women lost the status which they had so long enjoyed." -- Provided by publisher

Shaken Baby Syndrome Or Vaccine Induced Encephalitis - Are Parents Being Falsely Accused?
In 1971 Norma Guthkelch, retired neurosurgeon, published the first description of the Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). Within the next several years John Caffey, pediatric radiologist, wrote several articles supporting the SBS theory. Very soon after, when infants were brought into hospital emergency rooms in the U.S.A. with brain hemorrhages without known accidental explanations such as auto accidents or high distance falls, almost routinely the hemorrhages have been attributed to SBS or related diagnoses resulting in criminal conviction of parents or caretakers. These and other issues such as inflicted child abuse, non-accidental trauma, failure to protect, and other diagnoses are reviewed in t...
