Pages : 190
Book Description
A Woman of Vision is the inspiring true story of Betty Clark Mong who lived a rich life full of First Ladies, Hollywood elite, Vegas mobsters, work and romances all with profound vision loss - then the unthinkable happened. "If I have learned nothing else in my ninety-two years on this planet, I have learned that the most powerful tool for survival is the ability to sustain the positive relationships we have developed throughout our lives. We react to, learn from, and imitate behaviors to which we are exposed. Linked together these interactions nurture, guide, and shape how we to travel from birth to death." Betty Clark Mong A Woman of Vision is a poignant look at a woman who has become an inspiration to millions of people, Joanna Rivera Stark's A Woman of Vision tells the true story of Betty Clark Mong. Having overcome unfathomable obstacles from the time she was a little girl, Mong's determination in the face of adversity unequivocally proves that nothing is impossible. Written from Mong's point of view, A Woman of Vision faithfully chronicles her ninety-two years of life, beginning from her childhood when she was stricken with juvenile arthritis as a toddler and later with blindness. Despite these discouraging setbacks, Mong refused to feel sorry for herself and instead managed to succeed at nearly everything she set out to accomplish. Readers will laugh and cry as Mong reminisces over her loves and her losses. From her years as a public speaker and her encounters with the Las Vegas mob to her meetings with Hollywood celebrities and introductions to two First Ladies, one develops the true sense of this extraordinary woman and her remarkable life. An inspiration to all those who hear her story, Mong is a shining example of how to live successfully with blindness and proves that disabilities don't have to stand in the way of achieving one's dreams. Ultimately, Mong's relentless determination to lead a normal life has resulted in her living an outstanding adventure. With a forward by Dr. Ronald E. Smith, a professor and chairman for the University of Southern California and Doheny Eye Institute Department of Ophthalmology, A Woman of Vision is ultimately a heartfelt chronicle of what can happen when giving up is not an option.

Book Description
From the reviews: "Women of Vision blends biographical narrative with psychological perspectives on human development, resulting in a moving and passionate book that is suitable for both academic and nonacademic readers. It is a useful tool for teaching purposes or for simple, enjoyable, and informative reading." --Psychology of Women Quarterly "...a fascinating look of preservation and perceptiveness that is differentiated from its predecessors in its range of disciplines and emphasis...This new 'life course' approach to understanding female leaders gives valuable insight into the lives of these imminent women, furnishing insights into how the social-economic-political milieu and the attitudes and values of the time played a significant role in the lives of these women but also in all our lives. Women of Vision will serve as a springboard for exploration of how the psychologies of individual human lives affect their life-course and as a galvanizing step for many more future women of vision and leadership....The accounts in the book should be of substantial significance for readers interested in gender issues. However, the book will appeal to an even wider audience. Persons hoping to move in new directions in their own lives (e.g., women looking wistfully at new academic and occupational paths after years in stereotypic niches) can surely also find inspiration in the various accounts."--SirReadaLot.org We all know of women of great vision; women whose efforts and accomplishments have had a major impact on the arts, politics, women's rights, sports, or science. But often we may not understand how they became such powerful agents of change and what sorts of questions we should ask of their pasts to understand how the trajectories of their lives were formed. In this extraordinary textbook, leading experts cast new light on the role of circumstance, accomplishments, and personality in the development of various twentieth-century women of vision. This is a brand new life-course approach to understanding female leaders and gives valuable insight into the lives of such eminent women as Rachel Carson, Evelyn Gentry Hooker, Georgia O'Keeffe, Eleanor Roosevelt, "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias, Ella Fitzgerald, Alice Paul, Lucille Ball, and many others. Study questions and exercises at the end of each chapter further enhance the text. Women of Vision will serve as the springboard for exploration of how the psychologies of individual human lives affect their life-course and a galvanizing step for many more future women of vision and leadership.

Book Description
Does God call women to serve as equal partners in marriage and as leaders in the church? With careful exegetical work, Lucy Peppiatt considers relevant passages in Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1 Timothy, and 1 Corinthians. There she finds a story of God releasing women alongside men into all forms of ministry, leadership, work, and service on the basis of character and gifting, rather than biological sex.

The Rights of Women
Author: Erika Bachiochi
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268200807
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
Erika Bachiochi offers an original look at the development of feminism in the United States, advancing a vision of rights that rests upon our responsibilities to others. In The Rights of Women, Erika Bachiochi explores the development of feminist thought in the United States. Inspired by the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft, Bachiochi presents the intellectual history of a lost vision of women’s rights, seamlessly weaving philosophical insight, biographical portraits, and constitutional law to showcase the once predominant view that our rights properly rest upon our concrete responsibilities to God, self, family, and community. Bachiochi proposes a philosophical and legal framework for rights that builds on the communitarian tradition of feminist thought as seen in the work of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and Jean Bethke Elshtain. Drawing on the insight of prominent figures such as Sarah Grimké, Frances Willard, Florence Kelley, Betty Friedan, Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Mary Ann Glendon, this book is unique in its treatment of the moral roots of women’s rights in America and its critique of the movement’s current trajectory. The Rights of Women provides a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern political insight that locates the family’s vital work at the very center of personal and political self-government. Bachiochi demonstrates that when rights are properly understood as a civil and political apparatus born of the natural duties we owe to one another, they make more visible our personal responsibilities and more viable our common life together. This smart and sophisticated application of Wollstonecraft’s thought will serve as a guide for how we might better value the culturally essential work of the home and thereby promote authentic personal and political freedom. The Rights of Women will interest students and scholars of political theory, gender and women’s studies, constitutional law, and all readers interested in women’s rights.
