Описание:
The Lost Matriarch offers a unique response to the sparse and puzzling biblical treatment of the matriarch Leah. Although Leah is a major figure in the book of Genesis, the biblical text allows her only a single word of physical description and two lines of direct dialogue. The Bible tells us little about the effects of her lifelong struggles in an apparently loveless marriage to Jacob, the husband she shares with three other wives, including her beautiful younger sister, Rachel. Fortunately, two thousand years of traditional and modern commentators have produced many fascinating interpretations (midrash) that reveal the far richer story of Leah hidden within the text.
Through Jerry Rabow’s weaving of biblical text and midrash, readers learn the lessons of the remarkable Leah, who triumphed over adversity and hardship by living a life of moral heroism. The Lost Matriarch reveals Leah’s full story and invites readers into the delightful, provocative world of creative rabbinic and literary commentary. By experiencing these midrashic insights and techniques for reading “between the lines,” readers are introduced to what for many will be an exciting new method of personal Bible interpretation.

Описание:
Contrary to the declarations of some anthropologists, matriarchies do exist. Peggy Reeves Sanday first went to West Sumatra in 1981, intrigued by reports that the matrilineal Minangkabau—one of the largest ethnic groups in Indonesia—label their society a matriarchy. Numbering some four million in West Sumatra, the Minangkabau are known in Indonesia for their literary flair, business acumen, and egalitarian, democratic relationships between men and women. Sanday uses her repeated visits to West Sumatra in the closing decades of the twentieth century as the basis for a new definition of matriarchy. From the vantage point of daily life in villages, especially one where she developed close personal ties, Sanday's narrative is centered on how the Minangkabau conceive of their world and think humans should behave, along with the practices and rituals they claim uphold their matriarchate. Women at the Center leaves the reader with a solid sense of the respect for women that permeates Minangkabau culture, and gives new life to the concept of matriarchy.

This new perspective on matriarchal societies is developed step by step by the analysis of extant indigenous cultures in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
Описание: Pennsylvania may have been founded by peaceful Quakers, but the sect's pacifist ways didn't dampen the state's enthusiasm for violent scandals--or capital punishment. In Pretty Evil Pennsylvania, historical true crime author Stephanie Hoover recounts the crimes of some of the Keystone State's most violent female criminals from the 1850s through the 1930s. The stories of these law-breaking ladies are complex and nuanced. On occasion you may find yourself wondering if the crimes--matricide, kidnapping, horse theft--were justified. In other cases, there can be no doubt of the presence of mens rea, a guilty mind. Many of these women were dismissed as luckless lonely hearts or homely housewives--right up until the time that their cases proved interesting enough to sell newspapers. They then magically transformed into heartless, alluring she-devils who knew how to handle a gun or manipulate men into all manner of evil deeds.

Описание:
Xwel?qwiya is the life story of Rena Point Bolton, a St?:lo (or, asthey are now called, Xw?lmexw) matriarch, artist, and craftswoman.Proceeding by way of conversational vignettes, the beginning chaptersrecount Point Bolton's early years on the banks of the Fraser Riverduring the Depression. While at the time the St?:lo, or Xw?lmexw, asthey call themselves today, kept secret their ways of life to avoidpersecution by the Canadian government, Point Bolton’s mother andgrandmother schooled her in the skills needed for living from what theland provides, as well as in the craftwork and songs of her people,passing on a duty to keep these practices alive. Point Bolton was takento a residential school for the next several years and would go on tomarry and raise ten children, but her childhood training ultimately setthe stage for her roles as a teacher and activist. Recognizing theurgent need to forge a sense of cultural continuity among the youngermembers of her community, Point Bolton visited many communities andworked with federal, provincial, and First Nations politicians to helpbreak the intercultural silence by reviving knowledge of and interestin Aboriginal art. She did so with the deft and heartfelt use of bothher voice and her hands.
Over the course of many years, Daly collaborated with Point Boltonto pen her story. At once a memoir, an oral history, and an“insider” ethnography directed and presented by the subjectherself, the result attests both to Daly’s relationship with thefamily and to Point Bolton’s desire to inspire others to usetraditional knowledge and experience to build their own distinctive,successful, and creative lives.
