Book Description
From time immemorial, younger women have been asking older women, "What is it like to have a baby?" Here at last is a book that brings together the reactions of a wide array of women--some rich, some poor, some famous, some not-so-famous--to the experience of childbirth. Ranging from Sophia Loren to Queen Victoria, from Colette to Elzire Dionne, it explains in human terms as no clinical description can what the experience of having a baby is really like. A universal process that is unique in each instance, birth is inherently dramatic and changes even people who never expected to be deeply affected. Indeed, some of the most revealing pieces in Ever Since Eve are the testimony of men about fatherhood, men as diverse as Napoleon and W.C. Fields. A fascinating collection of vignettes, Ever Since Eve examines childbirth in different parts of the globe, offers some intriguing footnotes to history, and presents a view of public figures in their most private moments. Compelling reading for every pregnant woman, this book will be a treasured keepsake for anyone who has ever had--or would like to have--a baby.

First Adam
Author: Mary Patrick
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525517996
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." A very familiar passage that embodies so much significance: what did the image of God LOOK like in every day life? How did first Adam embody the likeness of such a vast spiritual being in human form? First Adam: Divine Design is a deep spiritual and emotional journey into life in paradise. It goes to great lengths to bring to life the fascinating intricacies of Adam's diverse and divine, yet personal and ever-present Father. This book goes further to explore the splendor of Adam's marriage to his wife Eve, including the spiritual and emotional possibilities birthed from their direct relationship with God. The possibilities must have been endless. The glory must have been consuming. Two people were created precisely, purposefully and perfectly by God with minds free to communicate with God and with each other without restrictions and limitations from sin. First Adam: Divine Design does much to answer questions of, what life might have looked like in paradise, and how a perfect man and perfect woman could have imperfectly lost it all.

Book Description
The Joys of Being a Woman, and Other Papers is a collection of essays concerning women's suffrage by Winifred Margaretta Kirkland. Excerpt: "Strange what a difference mere plurality of a noun and mere presence or absence of an article make to my mind. Now Men, Man, and A Man stand for most diverse conceptions. Man,—I think of Mr. Alexander Pope, and of a creature of watery intellect, whose vitality is something between that of a frog and a jumping-jack, and who is diddled puppet-wise by an equally anæmic deity. Man is humanity dehumanized, but Men are about the most human thing there is."
