A Girl's Life
Author: Johanna Drucker
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
"A Girl's Life is a graphic melodrama of romance, crime, and passion in which girls 'struggle to survive the snares and pitfalls of contemporary life.' Darkly comic and fiendishly noir, the mood of this book is expressed in colorful prose, lurid collage, and wildly adventurous typography. This collaboration between visual poet Johanna Drucker and painter/book artist Susan Bee is an exciting synthesis of two distinctive but sympathetic sensibilities which addresses adolescent angst in all of its fashionably gory details; 'accessory to a crime' takes on a whole new meaning in this book."--

Book Description
The North American frontier is an enduring symbol of romance, rebellion, escape, and freedom. At the same time, it's a profoundly masculine myth--cowboys, outlaws, Beat poets. Photographer Justine Kurland reclaimed this space in her now-iconic series of images of teenage girls, taken between 1997 and 2002 on the road in the American wilderness. "I staged the girls as a standing army of teenaged runaways in resistance to patriarchal ideals," says Kurland. She portrays the girls as fearless and free, tender and fierce. They hunt and explore, braid each other's hair, and swim in sun-dappled watering holes--paying no mind to the camera (or the viewer). Their world is at once lawless and utopian, a frontier Eden in the wild spaces just outside of suburban infrastructure and ideas. Twenty years on, the series still resonates, published here in its entirety and including newly discovered, unpublished images.

A Girl's Life
Author: Marianne Gingher
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807126851
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
In pleasant contrast to the recent flood of haunted childhood memoirs, A Girl’s Life is about growing up in a functional family, about nurture, serenity, wonderment, and the stabilizing contributions an unencumbered heart makes in the life of an observant child. Marianne Gingher makes the events of a “normal” girlhood not only engaging but distinctly illuminating and explores rites of passage that are as persuasive in shaping an artist’s sensibilities as are privations. A meditation on the comforts of homeplace and family, A Girl’s Life celebrates the last era in America, the 1950s and 1960s, when it was still possible to enjoy a cynicism-free girlhood—when “it was still safe for children to take gifts from strangers and not yet unwise for them to leave the doors of their hearts unlocked.” As Eudora Welty wrote in her autobiographical memoir One Writer’s Beginnings, “A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within.” The seventeen personal narratives collected here corroborate Welty’s conviction. Arranged in a loose chronology, the tales document a southern white girl’s middle-class initiation into the adult world. The first section, “Sanctuary,” recalls Gingher’s earliest impressions of family dynamics and shelter, a child’s yearnings and resourcefulness. “Truths and Grit,” the second section, deals with the tempering of bliss, a young girl’s first encounters with corruption and mortality. In the final group of essays, “Metaphors and Pies,” Gingher explores the contributions her recollections of childhood make in her ongoing trials as a parent and a writer. That her own childhood still permeates and inspires her present life is perhaps its greatest legacy. Did the way Marianne Gingher grow up compel her toward the writing life? Certainly the impact of that distant time, specific people and events, sensory-steeped moments, and the privilege of being allowed to dream as well as do enriched and fostered the writer’s imagination. By turns funny, provocative, jubilant, and tender, A Girl’s Life is perhaps most notable for both exalting and justifying the place of happiness in a writer’s development.

Languages : en

Book Description
This book is an inspirational look at the greatest woman in the Bible and all of history, the Virgin Mary-- the Mother of Jesus Christ.

However, God had already ordained, chosen, equipped, and anointed Mary for a great purpose and destiny! What God did for Mary, He can do for you! God has come to announce His assignment for your life, and what He has to announce will be life-altering. This book will help you to: *Come to grips with your purpose. *Understand that God can use anybody, including you! *Give birth to dreams that have been lying dormant. *Surrender to God's perfect will for your life. When God chooses you, there is nothing that can alter His plans for your life. Take courage, my sister! Take courage, my brother! God has placed something great inside of you that must be birthed into this Earth.
