Classic and Contemporary Readings

Women's Voices, Feminist Visions

Louisa Collins was hung in New South Wales in 1889. She was tried four times for the alleged murders of her two husbands. In three of those trials the juries could not agree that she was guilty. At her fourth trial the testimony of Louisa's young daughter, May, contributed to Louisa's conviction. Intimately reimagined from Louisa's perspective, with a story that just might fit the historical facts, this clever and compelling novel visits Louisa in her prison cell as she reflects on her life and the death and loss that have dictated her fate. Will she confess? Or was an innocent woman brutally hanged?

Blood Stories focuses on menarche as a central aspect of body politics in contemporary US society, emphasizing that women are integrated into the social and sexual order through the body. Using oral and written narratives of 104 diverse women, the authors address the central question of how menarche as a bodily event signifying womanhood takes on cultural significance in a society that devalues women. Exploring issues of contamination and concealment and the sexualization of women's bodies that occurs at menarche, the authors emphasize how the politics of gender are negotiated on/through women's bodies.

As a tantra teacher, the author has discovered that Tantra comes closest to exploring the true gift of sex between two people as a means of focusing energy and using it to experience our own soul and merger with our partner. Those on the soul plane report that soul merger is the highest form of ecstatic bliss possible and is infinitely beyond our ability to imagine while still on Earth plane. In comparison, orgasm is little more than a sneeze. Tantric lovemaking involves breathing and muscle contraction exercises, creating a special space and rituals, meditation, massage, and sexual play. Whereas the goal of regular sex is orgasm, the goal of Tantra is union, the merger of the couple s bodies, minds, hearts and souls. The basis for this union is mutual trust, surrender and an open heart. Sexual Tantra, opens you up to the Divinity at all levels of your being. Tantra is the perfect way to raise consciousness, increase intimacy and enjoy the great gift of human sexuality.

Sacred Sex, Sacred Life

PREFACE Six months ago I looked at my ever expanding belly in the mirror (something I try to avoid doing) and decided that I would tackle it once and for all. I had done some abdominal exercises and tried to cut back on the 'junk' food but nothing seemed to work long term. The belly fat refused to shift and stayed stubbornly embedded around the mid section. We seem to be constantly bombarded with reports about fat loss and what works and what doesn't. The danges of this food or that. It seems as if different and conflicting advice is given on an almost daily basis claiming you don't need to exercise but eat less or that you should go on a starvation diet to lose weight. Rather than blindly following this fad diet or that, each professing it would lose so many pounds in so many days I decided that I would do as much research as I could on the subject of fat by reading the latest medical research on the topic. I wanted to know exactly what goes on inside us when different types of foods enter the digestive system. I also wanted to know why I would always still feel hungry not long after having a meal, have sudden dips in energy and feelings of tiredness even though I had plenty of sleep and why no matter how many sit ups and core muscle exercises I did my belly never got flatter! In this book I want to share with you in layman's terms how I managed to get rid of my belly fat with very little pain in a matter of weeks based on making some simple changes to my lifestyle. If you adopt these into your daily life then I can guarantee that you will start seeing the pounds rolling off. Your body will be given an opportunity to heal itself, you will feel more energized, look more vibrant and the toned body that you had forgotten you once had will become reality again. Introduction You may have bought this book because you want to lose weight or maybe you are worried because you have been told that your blood sugar levels are above the normal range. You may even have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. You have tried dozens of different low-fat diets, fasting diets, been on detox retreats, gone on expensive juicing holidays, spent a wad of money on weight loss classes or gone for the 'low fat' foods in the supermarket shelves yet nothing seems to work. You may have lost a little weight but it all comes piling back because like me you are always feeling hungry! You can't seem to control your cravings for cakes and sugary foods no matter how hard you tried. You may have even considered having hypnosis! Before you spend any more money please read this book. You will find it is not another diet book packed full of recipes that you can easily download free from any online website but is based on the latest research and findings regarding the obesity crisis. You will get to understand what is really going on inside your body. Here is a preview of what we cover Why is the world getting fatter? Why you need to understand what is going on in your brain before you can lose weight long-term Why it isn't so much the amount of calories but the right TYPES of calories and right type of exercises that cuts the fat How to finally fix those cravings and hunger pangs for good How to spot the hidden evils of packaged foods Understand the low-down of low-carbs The essential food checklist for a low-carb diet

War girls reveals the fascinating story of the British women who volunteered for service in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY) during the Great War. Examining their experiences on the Western Front with the Belgian, British and French armies, this book shows how the FANY worked as nurses and ambulance driver-mechanics, inspiring stories of female heroism and solidarity. The FANY created skilled gendered performances against the cultural myths of the time, and in concert with their emerging legend. Coming from privileged backgrounds, they drew upon and subverted traditional arrangements, crafting new and unconventional identities for themselves. The author shares the stories of the FANY - a fascinating, quirky and audacious group of women - and illustrates the ways the Great War subverted existing gender arrangements. It will make fascinating reading for those working in the field of gender and war, as well as those who wish to find out more about this remarkable group of women.
