Dignity and Daily Bread compares the lives of women in the first and third worlds and examines how women have organized forms of production themselves. Covering a wide range of issues and areas, from cotton production in Bombay, conditions in Mexico and in some of the Far East economies, the contributors begin to break down some of the ideological barriers that colonialism and racism build among women. The immediacy of the accounts bring women's conditions in very different patriarchal societies to life, and underline the book's topicality in a time of global economic hardship. Dignity and Daily Bread will have considerable importance for women's studies and development studies.
This book examines the experience of women munitions workers in Britain during WW1.
This is the second book in a two-part collection of 264 primary source documents from the Enlightenment to 1950 chronicling the public debate that raged in Europe and America over the role of women in Western society. The present volume looks at the period from 1880 to 1950. The central issues--motherhood, women's legal position in the family, equality of the sexes, the effect on social stability of women's education and labor--extended to women the struggle by men for personal and political liberty. These issues were political, economic, and religious dynamite. They exploded in debates of philosophers, political theorists, scientists, novelists, and religious and political leaders. This collection emphasizes the debate by juxtaposing prevailing and dissenting points of view at given historical moments (e.g. Madame de Staƫl vs. Rousseau, Eleanor Marx vs. Pope Leo XIII, Strindberg vs. Ibsen, Simone de Beauvoir vs. Margaret Mead). Each section is preceded by a contextual headnote pinpointing the documents significance. Many of the documents have been translated into English for the first time.
From a distance Roger Kaiser's life is a fairytale. He was a schoolboy star in Dale, Indiana, led the Southeastern Conference in scoring two years in a row, sparked Georgia Tech to its first appearance in the NCAA Basketball Tournament, was a two-time All-American and married his childhood sweetheart. After a brief career in the ABL, he went into coaching and won four NAIA national titles at West Georgia College and Life University. He retired with more wins than any basketball coach in Georgia history. He is a member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and the NAIA Hall of Fame. But he lost two siblings and faced the loss of a daughter at the age of 35. He has survived two bouts with cancer, numerous surgeries and is the founder of the Alexis Kaiser Foundation, designed to raise money for his granddaughter and other special needs children. He continues to work with young people at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy in Marietta, Georgia.
