Journey To A Woman
Author: Ann Bannon
Publisher: HarperCollins Australia
ISBN: 0857999737
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The classic 1950s love story from the Queen of Lesbian Pulp Fiction, and author of Odd Girl Out, I Am a Woman, Women in the Shadows, Journey to a Woman and Beebo Brinker Would she throw away her entire life on the one wild chance that she might find the lost woman out of her past? Following on from classic novels Odd Girl Out, I am a Woman and Women in the Shadows, Journey to a Woman finds Laura in love among the lesbian bohemia of Greenwich Village. Praise for Ann Bannon “Bannon's books grab you and don't let go” Village Voice “When I was young, Bannon's books let me imagine myself into her New York City neighborhoods of short-haired, dark-eyed butch women and stubborn, tight-lipped secretaries with hearts ready to be broken. Her books come close to the kind of books that had made me feel fatalistic and damned in my youth, but somehow she just managed to sustain a sense of hope. And of course, there was her romantic portrait of the kind of butch woman I idealized. I would have dated Beebo, no question” Dorothy Allison “Called trash by the literary world and pornography by the commercial world, Ann Bannon's books were hidden away on drugstore pulp racks. To pick out the book, carry it to the counter and face the other shoppers and the cashier was tantamount to coming out. But all across the country, lesbians were doing it” Joan Nestle “Little did Bannon know that her stories would become legends, inspiring countless fledgling dykes to flock to the Village, dog-eared copies of her books in hand, to find their own Beebos and Lauras and others who shared the love they dared not name” San Francisco Bay Guardian “Ann Bannon is a pioneer of dyke drama” On Our Backs “Shameless tales of wanton dyke lust are finally unveiled!” Out magazine

Pages : 291
Book Description
Imagine experiencing life not as the gender dictated by birth but as one of your own design. In Trans Figured, Brian Belovitch shares his true story of life as a gender outlier and his dramatic journey through the jungle of gender identity. Brian has the rare distinction of coming out three times: first as a queer teenager; second as a glamorous transgender woman named Tish, and later, Natalia Gervais; and finally as an HIV-positive gay man surviving the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. From growing up in a barely-working-class first-generation immigrant family in Fall River, Massachusetts, to spinning across the disco dance floor of Studio 54 in New York City . . . from falling into military lock-step as the Army wife of a domineering GI in Germany to having a brush with fame as Natalia, high-flying downtown darling of the boozy and druggy pre-Giuliani New York nightclub scene, Brian escaped many near-death experiences. Trans Figured chronicles a life lived on the edge with an unforgettable cast of characters during a dangerous and chaotic era. Rich with drama and excitement, this no-holds-barred memoir tells it all. Most importantly, Brian's candid and poignant story of recovery shines a light on the perseverance of the human spirit.

In Part 2, Starr retells in mesmerizing narrative 7 goddess myths from ancient cultures around the world: Ancient Egypt, Africa, India, Tibet, Ancient Greece, Lakota, and the Judeo-Christian Bible. Each myth presents a quality that modern women can restore into their lives: Lilith (Power), Yemaya (Creativity), Tara (Stillness), Radha (Passion), Kassandra (Voice), White Buffalo Calf Woman (Wisdom), and Eve (Awakening). Accompanying each myth are anointing, bathing and lunar rituals, instructions for altars, invocations, meditations, and more. In Part 3, Starr shows women how to integrate the teachings of The Divine Feminine into everyday life, honoring the sacredness of their body and how to be in energetic, feminine balance. The book offers fresh, new ways for women to embrace their ancient and sacred traditions. It uplifts the spirit of any woman-from young womanhood to her elder, wise-woman years. It honors the Feminine spirit that all women can celebrate in themselves to rebalance the world. Readers will live more fulfilled lives and feel more confident, free and feminine...becoming the goddesses they were meant to be. Beautifully designed; includes a foreword by Raquel Allegra, noted fashion designer.

Black Dove
Author: Ana Castillo
Publisher: The Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 1558619240
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Finalist for the 2017 Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Nonfiction A lyrical memoir-in-essays by an award-winning Chicana writer: "the real power of Black Dove comes when it speaks to what mothers face raising black and brown children all across this nation." (Los Angeles Review of Books) Growing up as the intellectually spirited daughter of a Mexican Indian immigrant family during the 1970s, Castillo defied convention as a writer and a feminist. A generation later, her mother's crooning mariachi lyrics resonate once again. Castillo—now an established Chicana novelist, playwright, and scholar—witnesses her own son's spiraling adulthood and eventual incarceration. Standing in the stifling courtroom, Castillo describes a scene that could be any mother's worst nightmare. But in a country of glaring and stacked statistics, it is a nightmare especially reserved for mothers like her: the inner-city mothers, the single mothers, the mothers of brown sons. Black Dove: Mamá, Mi'jo, and Me looks at what it means to be a single, brown, feminist parent in a world of mass incarceration, racial profiling, and police brutality. Through startling humor and love, Castillo weaves intergenerational stories traveling from Mexico City to Chicago. And in doing so, she narrates some of America's most heated political debates and urgent social injustices through the oft-neglected lens of motherhood and family.

Mother Behold Thy Son
Author: Francisca Mandeya
Publisher: Transformational Call
ISBN: 9781999278335
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Francisca Mandeya believes in Maternal Power--in the sacred bond created when a child begins its journey in its mother's body, intricately bound by a connection even stronger than the umbilical cord. Born girl number three, experiencing inequality right from birth, and reclaiming her indigenous name Ndaiziweyi undocumented by the government--she began a lifelong commitment to practicing gender equality in her home. (Indeed, her song, "Takaenzana/We Are Equal" is on the 2010 album she recorded with her children and used by the Africa Outreach USA Foundation.) Mandeya is convinced that the untapped potential of maternal power is a transformational force in the struggle for gender equality. In Mother, Behold Thy Son, she takes readers inside her most personal experiences to demonstrate how mothers can use storytelling--coupled with their innate maternal power--to not just help their sons to reject toxic masculinity but also to model how their daughters can become authentic equals. Proclaiming that "vulnerable is the new strong", Mandeya believes that acknowledging vulnerability, insisting on visibility, and modeling authenticity are key steps to take on the healing path leading to an end of suffering in our lives. In addition to sharing her powerful story of awakening and transformation--from her native Zimbabwe to her home in the Canadian Arctic--she guides readers through simple action steps designed to make the world more equitable. Mother, Behold Thy Son is a book for anyone ready to take action to achieve radical transformation in their lives, communities and the world.
