Описание:
Courage and Grief illuminates in a nuanced fashion Sweden’s involvement in Europe’s destructive Thirty Years’ War (1618–48). Focusing on the various roles women performed in the bloody and extended conflict, Mary Elizabeth Ailes analyzes how methods of warfare and Swedish society were changing in profound ways. This study considers the experiences of unmarried camp followers and officers’ wives as well as peasant women who remained in the countryside during times of conflict and upheaval.
Women contributed to the war effort in a variety of ways. On campaign they provided support services to armies in the field. On the home front they helped to minimize disruptions incurred within their frayed communities. As increasing numbers of men left to fight overseas, women took over local economic activities and defended their families’ interests. Such activities significantly altered the fabric of Swedish society.
Examining women’s wartime experiences in the Thirty Years’ War enhances our understanding of women’s roles in society, the nature of female power and authority, and the opportunities and hardships that warfare brought to women’s lives.

Описание: The die is cast when the malefic King Ajutu realizes that he has been betrayed thrice over on Nkem`s account. With Nkem, Odera, and Namdi deeming they are no longer within easy striking distance of the king, the king charges his goons with the task of silencing them for good. When Nkem, Odera, and Namdi come to terms with what they`re up against, they form a frantic alliance with the king`s twin, Prince Ikuku, and unwittingly the estranged Queen Nena. As they also enlist the help of the Children of the Shadows, will King Ajutu, along with his gentry, become too hot to handle, or will he and his camarilla meet more than their match in the ever-growing alliance? In Children of the Shadows: Firmness of Purpose, the fight for justice and peace, and for the innocent child victims of the supposedly banned Mkpataku ritual reaches boiling point.

Описание:
"Don't sit on your stool, watching life go by," insists Soutcho Lydie Tour . In this collection of reflections written over a decade, she explores insecurities and vulnerabilities, with which many a reader will relate. She shares about loneliness and feeling different and goes on to ponder everyday life in "Politicking" and "VDN" - a memorable highway in Dakar which pedestrians must cross "under the mocking smile of the sun." Tour draws on experiences and insights from her life betwixt and between West Africa and North America. In her verses, spiced with nature, color, joy, humor and fantasy, questions and answers compete equally for the reader's attention. A veritable source of confidence in the force of life and love. Confidence that makes one grow wings.
