Discovering the Inner Mother - Bethany Webster

Sure to become a classic on female empowerment, a groundbreaking exploration of the personal, cultural, and global implications of intergenerational trauma created by patriarchy, how it is passed down from mothers to daughters, and how we can break this destructive cycle.Why do women keep themselves small and quiet? Why do they hold back professionally and personally? What fuels the uncertainty and lack of confidence so many women often feel? In this paradigm-shifting book, leading feminist thinker Bethany Webster identifies the source of women’s trauma. She calls it the Mother Wound—the systemic disenfranchisement of women by the patriarchy—and reveals how this cycle is perpetuated by wounded mothers who unconsciously pass on damaging beliefs and behaviors to their daughters.In her workshops, online courses, and talks, Webster has helped countless women re-examine their lives and their relationships with their mothers, giving them the vocabulary to voice their pain, and encouraging them to share their experiences. In this manifesto and self-help guide, she offers practical tools for identifying the manifestations of the Mother Wound in our daily life and strategies we can use to heal ourselves and prevent our daughters from enduring the same pain. In addition, she offers step-by-step advice on how to reconnect with our inner child, grieve the mother we didn’t have, stop people-pleasing, and, ultimately, transform our heartache and anger into healing and self-love.Revealing how women are affected by the Mother Wound, even if they don’t personally identify as survivors, Discovering the Inner Mother revolutionizes how we view mother-daughter relationships and gives us the inspiration and guidance we need to improve our lives and ultimately create a more equitable society for all.

Ruth Asawa and the Artist-Mother at Midcentury - Jordan Troeller

How a group of artist-mothers in postwar San Francisco refused the centuries-old belief that a woman could not make art while also raising children.For most of modern history, to be an artist and a mother was to embody a contradiction in terms. This “awful dichotomy,” as painter Alice Neel put it, pitted artmaking against caretaking and argued that the best art was made at the expense of family and futurity. But in San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s, a group of artists gathered around Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) began to reject this dominant narrative. In Ruth Asawa and the Artist-Mother at Midcentury, Jordan Troeller analyzes this remarkable moment. Insisting that their labor as mothers fueled their labor as artists, these women redefined key aesthetic concerns of their era, including autonomy, medium specificity, and originality.Delving into the archive, where the traces of motherhood have not yet been erased from official history, Troeller reveals Ruth Asawa’s personal and professional dialogue with several other artist-mothers, including Merry Renk, Imogen Cunningham, and Sally Woodbridge. For these women, motherhood was not an essentialized identity, but rather a means to reimagine the terms of artmaking outside of the patriarchal policing of reproduction. This project unfolded in three broad areas, which also structure the book’s chapters: domesticity and decoration; metaphors for creativity; and maternal labor in the public sphere, especially in the public schools. Drawing on queer theory and feminist writings, Troeller argues that in belatedly accounting for the figure of the artist-mother, art history must reckon with an emergent paradigm of artmaking, one predicated on reciprocity, caretaking, and futurity.

The Good Mother Myth - Nancy Reddy

Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a good mom.When Nancy Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood right feel so wrong?For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one (1!) illustration of a father interacting with his child.This timely and thought-provoking book will make you laugh, cry, and want to scream (sometimes all at once). Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.

The Icon of the Nevskaya Mother of God

This small but expansive work is a window into churchly culture as the reader is drawn into the journey of the Mt. Athos Icon of the Mother of God Quick to Hear to Russia in 1877. Through God s grace a new and distinct icon emerged, now recognised as the Nevskaya Icon of the Mother of God Quick to Hear. This God protected icon survived both a fire and the destruction of churches under communism. In 1958 it was moved to the St Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg.? Many Orthodox believers attribute the saving of Leningrad from Nazi?s to this icon. This book will inspire the reader with stories of the help and consolation given through it to faithful from all walks of life: farmers, merchants, homemakers, soldiers, dukes, and duchesses; including the much loved St Elizabeth the New Martyr.

The Other Lata

A compulsively readable story of mistaken identity set within high society New York and the sacrifices made to keep up appearances, “as lively and refreshing as a chilled glass of champagne.” (Kirstin Chen) Somewhere in New York City, Lata Murthy knows there is another person with her name living a much more interesting life. That #39;s because Lata often receives the other Lata #39;s emails: invites to Hampton soirees, fundraising appeals from the New York City Ballet and reminders about sample sales at Soho boutiques. Lata #39;s own life—working in digital content, watching Food Network marathons, spending recklessly on clothes she can #39;t afford—feels pathetic in comparison. So, one day she decides to take on this other Lata #39;s identity and jumps headfirst into the glamorous New York lifestyle ... but not without consequences. At first, it all feels like a fairy tale. All of Lata #39;s NYC dreams come true: she gets a higher-paying job, moves into a chic Chelsea apartment and is embraced by an elite friend group that includes Rajeev, an up-and-coming fashion designer intent on making a splash at New York Fashion Week. But Lata doesn #39;t just catch the attention of the handsome fashion designer—she also incurs the wrath of the mysterious woman she is impersonating. And this Other Lata wants Lata to pay...but in the oddest of ways. Other Lata #39;s blackmail seems designed to humiliate Lata in front of her wealthy new circle, and Lata has no choice but to submit to her demands if she doesn #39;t want to lose her new friends and lifestyle. Despite Other Lata #39;s machinations, Lata and Rajeev #39;s romance finds ways to blossom. But when Other Lata #39;s demands change from mischievous to illegal, Lata must find a way to extricate herself from Other Lata #39;s control once and for all.

The Other Wes Moore - Wes Moore

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the governor of Maryland, the “compassionate” (People), “startling” (Baltimore Sun), “moving” (Chicago Tribune) true story of two kids with the same name: One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison.The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his.In December 2000, the Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student who had just received a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore. Wes just couldn’t shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting him: Who are you? How did this happen?That letter led to a correspondence and relationship that have lasted for several years. Over dozens of letters and prison visits, Wes discovered that the other Wes had had a life not unlike his own: Both had had difficult childhoods, both were fatherless; they’d hung out on similar corners with similar crews, and both had run into trouble with the police. At each stage of their young lives they had come across similar moments of decision, yet their choices would lead them to astonishingly different destinies.Told in alternating dramatic narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

Seeking Your Loved One on the Other Side - Matthew McKay

How to connect with those who have passed and learning to love in the face of pain• Shares a proven process that has worked for the author as well as thousands of others to communicate with deceased loved ones• Explores the use of mediums, past-life and between-life hypnotic regressions, a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and channeled writing• Presents revelations about the soul’s life after death, the structure of the afterlife, how karma works, and how to love in the face of painIf you’ve lost a loved one or had a brush with mortality, you undoubtedly have wondered about life after death—or if it’s possible to connect with souls on the other side. After the tragic death of his son, Jordan, the author embarked on a journey for ways to communicate with his son across the veil. He discovered not only successful methods to connect with lost loved ones but also profound truths about the afterlife, the illusion of loss, and how pain is integral to our life purpose.McKay recounts techniques he tried in order to connect with his son, including collecting unusual experiences from family and friends, consulting mediums such as Austyn Wells, undergoing past-life and between-life regressions, engaging in a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and using channeled writing, which he learned with the help of psychologist Ralph Metzner.The culmination of hundreds of channeled conversations with his son, the author presents revelations about the soul’s life after death, the structure and key events of the afterlife, how karma works, why we incarnate, our future as souls, and how to love in the face of pain. As Jordan reveals, nothing is truly lost. The soul is constant and, while pain seems to damage us, the damage is an illusion. Because, as Jordan says, “there is no end; the conversation goes on . . . between all the souls who love each other, living and dead.”

One (Un)Like the Other - Michael F. Andrews

One (Un)Like the Other responds to the question, What are the conditions of possibility that make genuine knowledge of other persons—and, therefore, love—possible? By providing an original interpretive framework for exploring ethics in relation to empathy and transcendence from multiple perspectives in continental philosophy, empathy is described as a trace of what remains essentially and irreducibly other in every act of givenness. The use of the phenomenological method places Einfühlung theory in its rich historical context, beginning with Husserl and the early phenomenologists and extending to contemporary issues that explore otherness in light of consciousness, gender, embodiment, community, intentionality, emotions, intersubjectivity, values, language, and apophatic discourse. The implications of recasting empathy in an interpretive and dialogical model of reciprocity envision new paradigms of understanding ethics as an infinite playing field. No longer subservient to metaphysics and ontology, empathy is described as an act of infinite concern, a hermeneutics of suspicion that transcends epistemological theory and ethical command. Drawing on Husserl, Scheler, Stein, Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, and others, this study presents an examination and expansion of empathy as an encounter with otherness in its most radical and transcendent forms.

Journeys to the Other Side of the World - Sir David Attenborough

Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, in the late 1950s onwards the young David Attenborough embarked on further travels in a very different part of the world. From Madagascar and New Guinea to the Pacific Islands and the Northern Territory of Australia, he and his cameraman companion were aiming to record not just the wildlife, but the way of life of some of the indigenous people of these regions, whose traditions had never been encountered by most of the British public before. From the land divers of Pentecost Island and the sing-sings of New Guinea, to a Royal Kava ceremony on Tonga and the ancient art of the Northern Territory, it is a journey like no other. Alongside these remarkable cultures he encounters paradise birds, chameleons, sifakas and many more animals in some of the most unique environments on the planet. Written with David Attenborough s characteristic charm, humour and warmth, Journeys to the Other Side of the World is an inimitable adventure among people, places and the wildest of wildlife.

Two vivid parables and The Forged Coupon , a tale of criminality, explore class relations after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 and the connection between an ethical life and worldly issues. In Master and Workman Tolstoy creates one of his most gripping dramas about human relationships put to the test in an extreme situation. The Death of Ivan Ilyich is an existential masterpiece, a biting satire that recounts with extraordinary power the final illness and death of a bourgeois lawyer.In his Introduction Andrew Kahn explores Tolstoy s moral concerns and the stylistic features of these late stories, sensitively translated by Nicolas Pasternak Slater.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
