Pages : 100
Book Description
This story is about two sisters: Bia and Tiffani. The older sister is Bia, who is tall graceful, sophisticated, she is a ballerina. She loves reading, but she is far too judgmental of her younger sister, whom she feels does not measure up to her standards. However, Bia must learn to humble herself and love people where they are. Tiffani is a tomboy. She is short, and Tiffani has the usual suspects for friend’s boys, frogs, and fishes. She loves playing baseball and befriends, those who do not judge her, because they come to recognize her as being one of them. Tiffani adores her older sister. Wanting to be just like her, has cost her not to love herself. These sisters must enter one another’s world and enjoy the experiences of change, while still be themselves. Tiffani troubles began on warm summer day in June, as she pleads with her big sister Bia begging to tag along with her and her friends going to ballet practice. The stories plot will hold some magical moments, Christian metaphors, along with God’s revelation of His wonderful open promises that He gave to us in living our lives through Him.

Mama, PhD
Author: Elrena Evans
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813543185
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Every year, American universities publish glowing reports stating their commitment to diversity, often showing statistics of female hires as proof of success. Yet, although women make up increasing numbers of graduate students, graduate degree recipients, and even new hires, academic life remains overwhelming a man's world. The reality that the statistics fail to highlight is that the presence of women, specifically those with children, in the ranks of tenured faculty has not increased in a generation. Further, those women who do achieve tenure track placement tend to report slow advancement, income disparity, and lack of job satisfaction compared to their male colleagues. Amid these disadvantages, what is a Mama, PhD to do? This literary anthology brings together a selection of deeply felt personal narratives by smart, interesting women who explore the continued inequality of the sexes in higher education and suggest changes that could make universities more family-friendly workplaces. The contributors hail from a wide array of disciplines and bring with them a variety of perspectives, including those of single and adoptive parents. They address topics that range from the level of policy to practical day-to-day concerns, including caring for a child with special needs, breastfeeding on campus, negotiating viable maternity and family leave policies, job-sharing and telecommuting options, and fitting into desk/chair combinations while eight months pregnant. Candid, provocative, and sometimes with a wry sense of humor, the thirty-five essays in this anthology speak to and offer support for any woman attempting to combine work and family, as well as anyone who is interested in improving the university's ability to live up to its reputation to be among the most progressive of American institutions.

The Narration of Desire
Author: Harriet K. Wrye
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135061610
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
In this richly woven study of preoedipal erotic experience, Harriet Kimble Wrye and Judith Welles focus on patients for whom early mothering did not sustain the flowering and subsequent transformation of early erotic desire. Such patients remain under the sway of a primitive eroticism that is often sadistic and invariably perverse. Successful analytic work requires accepting and containing the patient's primitive erotic needs; reconstructing the mother-infant narratives that sustain these needs; and mobilizing the patient's transformative desire to grow out of maternal eroticism to an adult love of self and others.
