Book Description
Imagine a society ruled by women, where women are the administrators, judges, and military commanders. Would it be free of want, injustice, and violence, as feminists would have us believe, or would it be much the same as any other society? This novel describes such a world, with its rules and norms and its philosophical underpinnings, from the viewpoint of patriarchal outsiders. Two middle-aged male wannabe adventurers, one an inveterate womanizer and the other a family man, stumble upon this world via a series of accidents in this work that takes the reader from Delhi and Kiev to a remote valley in the Indian Himalayas and flits between the thirteenth century, when Mongol hordes invaded Europe and a group of women decided that they had had enough of men, and the previous decade.

Motherhood
Author: Andrea O'Reilly
Publisher: Canadian Scholars’ Press
ISBN: 0889614547
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
In feminism, the institution of mothering/motherhood has been a highly contested area in how it relates to the oppression of women. As Adrienne Rich articulated in her classic 1976 book Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution, although motherhood as an institution is a male-defined site of oppression, women's own experiences of mothering can nonetheless be a source of power. This volume examines four locations wherin motherhood is simultaneously experienced as a site of oppression and of power: emodiment, representation, practice, and separation. Motherhood: Power and Oppression includes psychological, historical, sociological, literary, and cultural approaches to inquiry and a wide range of disciplinary perspectives — qualitative, quantitative, corporeal, legal, religious, fictional, mythological, dramatic and action research. This rich collection not only covers a wide range of subject matter but also illustrates ways of doing feminist research and practice.

Excerptiones de Prisciano
Author: Aelfric (Abbot of Eynsham.)
Publisher: DS Brewer
ISBN: 9780859916356
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
First edition of 10th-century compendium of grammatical lore, second only in importance to Ælfric's own Grammar. When the famous Anglo-Saxon scholar Ælfric wrote the first grammar in a European vernacular, he used as his direct source the Excerptiones de Prisciano excerpts from major curriculum authors of the medieval schools, including Donatus, Isidore and Priscian himself . The tenth-century text, probably of English origin, most probably compiled by Ælfric, is an ambitious compendium of grammatical lore, and it is, with the exception of Ælfric's own Grammar, arguably the most sophisticated Latin-learning text of the Anglo-Saxon age. Edited here for the first time, the Excerptiones appear with all scholia, an English translation, and a full contextual introduction. DAVID W. PORTER is Professor of English, Southern University, Baton Rouge.
