Book Description
What is 'Female Leadership'? It's accepting that 'She knows best' in all matters. From the finances to the household to how best to accomplish long-term goals. It's trusting in Her judgement to run things and embracing 'Her way'. This doesn't make the man weak, just the opposite, because men are the best at 'getting things done' when the task is clearly defined but difficult to do. A Female Dominant Household plays to both side's strengths and minimizes weaknesses, leading to Female empowerment, greater satisfaction in the relationship, trust, bonding and yes, mind-blowing sex.Surrender, Submit, Serve Her seeks to help implement your Female Led household through tools like the Command and Conquer meeting (commanding and conquering tasks and roadblocks, not people), laying out the contract of servitude (clearly defining her dominion and removing unnecessary confusion) and crafting your own pledge that personalizes and empowers the act of his submission.Surrender, Submit, Serve Her has been nominated for the BDSM Writers Con 2017 Golden Flogger Awards for BEST BDSM Book of the Year in the Non-fiction category.Updated for 2018! Better formatting and new content.

To Serve My Country, to Serve My Race
Author: Brenda L. Moore
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 9780814755877
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
I would have climbed up a mountain to get on the list [to serve overseas]. We were going to do our duty. Despite all the bad things that happened, America was our home. This is where I was born. It was where my mother and father were. There was a feeling of wanting to do your part. --Gladys Carter, member of the 6888th To Serve My Country, to Serve my Race is the story of the historic 6888th, the first United States Women's Army Corps unit composed of African-American women to serve overseas. While African-American men and white women were invited, if belatedly, to serve their country abroad, African-American women were excluded for overseas duty throughout most of WWII. Under political pressure from legislators like Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., the NAACP, the black press, and even President Roosevelt, the U.S. War Department was forced to deploy African-American women to the European theater in 1945. African-American women, having succeeded, through their own activism and political ties, in their quest to shape their own lives, answered the call from all over the country, from every socioeconomic stratum. Stationed in France and England at the end of World War II, the 6888th brought together women like Mary Daniel Williams, a cook in the 6888th who signed up for the Army to escape the slums of Cleveland and to improve her ninth-grade education, and Margaret Barnes Jones, a public relations officer of the 6888th, who grew up in a comfortable household with a politically active mother who encouraged her to challenge the system. Despite the social, political, and economic restrictions imposed upon these African-American women in their own country, they were eager to serve, not only out of patriotism but out of a desire to uplift their race and dispell bigoted preconceptions about their abilities. Elaine Bennett, a First Sergeant in the 6888th, joined because "I wanted to prove to myself and maybe to the world that we would give what we had back to the United States as a confirmation that we were full- fledged citizens." Filled with compelling personal testimony based on extensive interviews, To Serve My Country is the first book to document the lives of these courageous pioneers. It reveals how their Army experience affected them for the rest of their lives and how they, in turn, transformed the U.S. military forever.

Challenges to Linearization

ISBN: 1614512434
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The ten contributions in this volume focus on a range of linearization challenges, all of which aim to shed new light on the central, still largely mysterious question of how the abundant evidence that linguistic structures are hierarchically organised can plausibly be reconciled with the fact that actually realised linguistic strings are typically sequentially ordered. Some of the contributions present particularly challenging data, those on the mixed spoken and signed output of bimodal Italian children, Quechua nominal morphology, Kannada reduplication and Taqbaylit of Chemini “floating prepositions” all being cases in point. Others have a typological focus, highlighting and attempting to explain striking patterns like the Final-over-Final Constraint or considering the predictions of particular theoretical approacesh (the movement theory of Control, multidominance, Distributed Morphology) in relation to structures that we do and don’t expect to be “possible linguistic structures”. Broader architectural questions also receive attention from various perspectives. This volume will be of interest to advanced students and researchers with interests in the externalisation of ling
