Exposing the Pain
"Till Death Do Us Part" is the story of one man's burning internal conflict, and how he must break the shackles of being an everyday man and sink his teeth into the desire he has for one woman and one woman only. Set in the "west Texas town of El Paso," our main character Carlos Santos is your average red-blooded Latin-American, just trying to get by in the world. His half-brother Julius is a wild and reckless beast with a love for booze and the nightlife. But this behavior lands him in the mistrust of his lady Palomina, who has been the victim of his careless ways. Enter our boy, Carlos. There's no denying from the very beginning of the novel that Carlos is madly in love with Palomina Latrima; and once he discovers the less-than-ideal life she leads with Julius, it's his one and only motivation to win her heart...and to make her truly happy for the rest of her life. But can it be done beneath Julius' watching eye?
Executing Race
Executing Race examines the multiple ways in which race, class, and the law impacted women's lives in the 18th century and, equally important, the ways in which women sought to change legal and cultural attitudes in this volatile period. Through an examination of infanticide cases, Harris reveals how conceptualizations of women, especially their bodies and their legal rights, evolved over the course of the 18th century. Early in the century, infanticide cases incorporated the rhetoric of the witch trials. However, at mid-century, a few women, especially African American women, began to challenge definitions of "bastardy" (a legal requirement for infanticide), and by the end of the century, women were rarely executed for this crime as the new nation reconsidered illegitimacy in relation to its own struggle to establish political legitimacy. Against this background of legal domination of women's lives, Harris exposes the ways in which women writers and activists negotiated legal territory to invoke their voices into the radically changing legal discourse.
Exposing the Pain
Evangelist Sharon Marie Harris "Your past doesn't have to define your present, nor determine your future." The "Sharon Harris Story" is nothing less than a miracle. I was born in the inner city of South Central, Los Angeles, living with a drug dealer and mother of 2 children by age 14. My young life was filled with abuse, neglect, and violence. I was kidnapped at gun point, and I called on the name of Jesus for the very first time; October 19th 1983. After receiving Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I was filled with the Holy Spirit, equipping me to answer the call to worldwide evangelism. Thus began the journey that miraculously transformed my life forever. Today, I am the best-selling au...
Dr. Mary Walker
A suffragist who wore pants. This is just the simplest of ways Dr. Mary Walker is recognized in the fields of literature, feminist and gender studies, history, psychology, and sociology. Perhaps more telling about her life are the words of an 1866 London Anglo-American Times reporter, "Her strange adventures, thrilling experiences, important services and marvelous achievements exceed anything that modern romance or fiction has produced. . . . She has been one of the greatest benefactors of her sex and of the human race." In this biography Sharon M. Harris steers away from a simplistic view and showcases Walker as a Medal of Honor recipient, examining her work as an activist, author, and Civil War surgeon, along with the many nineteenth-century issues she championed:political, social, medical, and legal reforms, abolition, temperance, gender equality, U.S. imperialism, and the New Woman. Rich in research and keyed to a new generation, Dr. Mary Walker captures its subject's articulate political voice, public self, and the realities of an individual whose ardent beliefs in justice helped shape the radical politics of her time.
Blue Pencils & Hidden Hands
This collection of original critical essays explores how women periodical editors in the long 19th century redefined women's identities and roles, and influenced public opinion about such issues as abolition and woman suffrage.
Redefining the Political Novel
While critical studies of the American political novel date from the 1920s, such considerations of the genre have failed, whether wittingly or unwittingly, to recognize works by women. The exclusion is usually based on a distinction between "social" novels and "political" novels, and the result is an understanding of the "political" as a largely male province. In this thought-provoking collection of essays, the contributors seek not simply to add works by women to the canon of political novels but, rather, to demand a conceptual revolution - one that questions the very precepts on which the canon is based. This redefinition of the political novel takes many factors into account, including gender, race, and class and their relation to our most basic conceptions of literary and aesthetic value.
Rebecca Harding Davis's Stories of the Civil War Era
The ten stories gathered here show Rebecca Harding Davis to be an acute observer of the conflicts and ambiguities of a divided nation and position her as a major transitional writer between romanticism and realism. Instead of focusing on major Civil War conflicts and leaders, she takes readers into the intimate battles fought on family farms and backwoods roads.
Women's Early American Historical Narratives
This fascinating collection presents a rare look at women writers' first-hand perspectives on early American history. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries many women authors began to write historical analysis, thereby taking on an essential role in defining the new American Republicanism. Like their male counterparts, these writers worried over the definition and practice of both public and private virtue, human equality, and the principles of rationalism. In contrast to male authors, however, female writers inevitably addressed the issue of inequality of the sexes. This collection includes writings that employ a wide range of approaches, from straightforward reportage to po...
