Magdalena Fernández
Magdalena Fernández (Caracas, 1964) is one of the most important artists in contemporary Latin American art. Her works based on video, installations, sculptures, and engravings consist of the exploration of two thematic axes: nature (and landscape) and the reinterpretation of an essential chapter of the history of art such as abstraction, of great strength and validity in many countries of Latin America, among which her native Venezuela stands out. It is important to point out that abstraction in the artistœs work arises from her relationship with nature, as can be seen in several of her videos and in the poetic installation designed specifically for the Terrace of this Museum, on whose fl...

Elite Women in Early Modern Catholic Europe
Elite Women in Early Modern Catholic Europe offers a new look at early modern Catholic Europe through the lens of the diverse experiences of elite women, using a historiographical approach to analyze women’s roles through changing political, social, and cultural contexts. Through novel practices and broad social networks, distinguished women assumed prominent roles, from queens and princesses, to aristocrats and great nobles, to women of faith and religion. As the Counter-Reformation and the transition toward Enlightenment ideology swept France, Spain, and Italy, literacy and education became more accessible to upper-class women, who began to create new traditions in place of the old ways that were falling short. The case studies in this volume, ranging from the seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries, uncover the ways in which women were developing leadership skills and preserving status through participation in historical processes that affected real estate, the Church, and the social and family organization across Catholic Europe. This book is an ideal resource for students and researchers studying early modern women and Catholic Europe.
A Trail of Light
As a five year old girl in her native Costa Rica - a country which, in the early 20th century, had neither a medical school nor a tradition of higher education for women - Anita Figueredo decided to become a doctor. She was supported in this quest by her courageous mother, and thus begins a spirited, lifelong adventure in service that includes a nearly 40 year friendship with Mother Teresa. In this compelling and affectionate memoir, one of the nine children of a pioneering woman surgeon searches for the secrets of her mother's extraordinary impact on her community, which extended from "home to...hospital, school, church and town, and eventually across international borders to the regions of desperation."
