Quiet Revolutionaries
"This book provides a unique analysis of how our current law has been shaped by feminist activism, exploring the attempts of the Married Women's Association (MWA) to reform family property law over the 50-year period between 1938-1988. Initiated by former suffragettes, the Married Women's Association formed in 1938 with one ambition: equal partnership in marriage. Their campaigns represent a turning point in the history of marital property and helped to form the legal landscape of family law today, yet their story has never been told. The book employs an innovative blend of feminist legal history and biography to produce the first account of the MWA's work towards economic and legal equality...
A Crisis of Being
I was a born non-believer. One of my earliest memories is deciding that Santa Claus did not really exist. Why? He was supposed to arrive in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. I knew that reindeer can’t fly, therefore there had to be another reason that presents would appear under the Christmas tree. The next victim was the Tooth Fairy. I witnessed my Dad tossing my older sis- ter’s lost tooth into the goose mash. I then knew that he was the one who left a small amount of money in place of the tooth. The Easter Bunny didn’t stand a chance. I had, early on, put God into the same category as Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny. So what happened to Thompson’s life?
Prenuptial Agreements and the Presumption of Free Choice
This book provides an alternative perspective on an issue fraught with difficulty – the enforcement of prenuptial agreements. Such agreements are enforced because the law acknowledges the rights of spouses to make autonomous decisions about the division of their property on divorce. Yet this book demonstrates that, in the attempt to promote autonomy, other issues, such as imbalance of power between the parties, become obscured. This book offers an academic and practical analysis of the real impact of prenuptial agreements on the relationships of those involved. Using a feminist and contractual theoretical framework, it attempts to produce a more nuanced understanding of the autonomy exerci...

We Have a Choice: Let’s Just Do It
How the western worldview of progress has resulted in global inequality and threatens the health of the planet: A Study Guide for Discussion Group These lessons represent Sharon Thompson’s personal long-term process of trying to understand the true nature of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. This quest included enrolling in seven college classes-one at Metro State University taught by local peace activist, Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, and six at the University of St. Thomas in their Justice and Peace Studies program under the direction of Rev. David Smith. She also gleaned much valuable information from library books, from Pacifica Radio’s Democracy Now! and from various other alternative medi...
