A Woman's Kingdom by Michelle Lamarche Marrese Pdf
In A Woman's Kingdom, Michelle Lamarche Marrese explores the development of Russian noblewomen's unusual property rights. In contrast to women in Western Europe, who could not control their assets during marriage until the second half of the nineteenth century, married women in Russia enjoyed the right to alienate and manage their fortunes beginning in 1753. Marrese traces the extension of noblewomen's right to property and places this story in the broader context of the evolution of private property in Russia before the Great Reforms of the 1860s. Historians have often dismissed women's property rights as meaningless. In the patriarchal society of Imperial Russia, a married woman could neither work nor travel without her husband's permission, and divorce was all but unattainable. Yet, through a detailed analysis of women's property rights from the Petrine era through the abolition of serfdom in 1861, Marrese demonstrates the significance of noblewomen's proprietary power. She concludes that Russian noblewomen were unique not only for the range of property rights available to them, but also for the active exercise of their legal prerogatives.A remarkably broad source base provides a solid foundation for Marrese's conclusions. These sources comprise more than eight thousand transactions from notarial records documenting a variety of property transfers, property disputes brought to the Senate, noble family papers, and a vast memoir literature. A Woman's Kingdom stands as a masterful challenge to the existing, androcentric view of noble society in Russia before Emancipation.

Become the Kingdom Woman God Is Calling You to Be Women, lean in: You grace this world with insight, sensitivity, and spiritual beauty that has made you a force behind great accomplishments. Much of what comes in the life of a kingdom woman may not make headlines, but when you become passionate about what God is passionate about, positive change can occur in lives, families, communities, and even our nation. Your solution to the burdens of this life is found in humbling yourself before Jesus Christ and surrendering to the Word of God. Together with his daughter, Crystal Evans Hurst, Dr. Tony Evans shows you what it means to live as a kingdom woman, to walk by faith (not just talk about it), to make decisions in alignment with God, to raise up the next generation, and to discover that tremendous freedom comes when your ultimate submission is under a caring and loving God.

Kingdom Woman serves as a path to help you along the journey of life as you learn to: Let go of hopelessness and disappointment and fully experience your destiny Value what God values—humility, meekness, and the beauty of a servant’s heart Confidently follow God on the pathway of faith, even if you can’t see the destination Choose to have faith to believe that the dark road you are traveling on will eventually yield to a sunrise Pursue God and His Word in a way that your actions follow His instructions Exercise authority for heavenly intervention in your earthly affairs God is writing your story. Live like He designed you to be.
Live Confidently in Your Authority as a Kingdom Man For too long, men have sat on the sideline of life. But God intends for us to get into the game. We’ve been content with mediocre while God calls us to greatness. The path to a better world and a better future for our families and communities begins at our door. We need to take hold of our biblical anointing and become men sold out for the kingdom of God. Dr. Tony Evans, founder and president of The Urban Alternative and senior pastor at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Texas, calls men to biblical manhood. He exhorts you to grab hold of your dominion, exercise the authority God has given you, and fulfill your role to provide leadership and mirror God’s character. With Kingdom Man as your guide, you will learn to: Leave the past behind: learn from yesterday but not live in it Embrace prayer as your primary weapon of warfare Align yourself with God’s prescription for kingdom manhood Confidently and compassionately express your authority within your domain Remember your call to greatness Men, it’s time to step into our destiny. It’s time to roar.
In a mist-shrouded valley on China's invisible border with Tibet is a place known as the "Kingdom of Women," where a small tribe called the Mosuo lives in a cluster of villages that have changed little in centuries. In a mist-shrouded valley on China's invisible border with Tibet is a place known as the "Kingdom of Women," where a small tribe called the Mosuo lives in a cluster of villages that have changed little in centuries. This is one of the last matrilineal societies on earth, where power lies in the hands of women. All decisions and rights related to money, property, land and the children born to them rest with the Mosuo women, who live completely independently of husbands, fathers and brothers, with the grandmother as the head of each family. A unique practice is also enshrined in Mosuo tradition--that of "walking marriage," where women choose their own lovers from men within the tribe but are beholden to none.

Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen and or remain a human forever. The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby--it’s his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good--But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy?
Here, archaeologically documented,is the story of the religion of the Goddess. Under her, women’s roles were far more prominent than in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures. Stone describes this ancient system and, with its disintegration, the decline in women’s status.
"And while she was warm in bed and struggling with sleep -- which seems, as though to spite one, particularly sweet when one ought to get up -- " A Woman's Kingdom presents the world of Anna Akimovna. She is the rich factory owner whom everyone depends on for work and charity. However, although she has everyone kissing up to her -- she is lonely and unhappy. She longs to marry. The story is interesting because it captures the world of Anna Akimovna as only Chekhov can. We are made to feel part of that world -- while we are also allowed our judgments.
Sovereign Women in a Muslim Kingdom by Sher Banu A.L Khan Pdf
The Islamic kingdom of Aceh was ruled by queens for half of the 17th century. Was female rule an aberration? Unnatural? A violation of nature, comparable to hens instead of roosters crowing at dawn? Indigenous texts and European sources offer different evaluations. Drawing on both sets of sources, this book shows that female rule was legitimised both by Islam and adat (indigenous customary laws), and provides original insights on the Sultanah's leadership, their relations with male elites, and their encounters with European envoys who visited their court. The book challenges received views on kingship in the Malay world and the response of indigenous polities to east-west encounters in Southeast Asia's Age of Commerce.

There is a difference between being a God’s Kingdom woman and a woman of God. Isaiah 6:8–9: The call of God One of the tasks of the Holy Spirit is to call godly leaders in the kingdom. All men and women are "called" to God (Rom. 8:28, 30) yet only a few respond (Matt. 7:13, 14; 22:14; John 15:16). Leaders, however, experience a different kind of call and are called in different ways. • Many are called sovereignly. Moses was singled out by God who spoke to him from a burning bush (Ex. 3:1–4, 17). The child Samuel was called while he was asleep (1 Sam. 3:1–18). Young Isaiah was worshiping in the temple when called by God (Isa. 6:1–9). • Others are called through men. Samuel went to David and anointed him with oil (1 Sam. 16:1–13). Paul instructed Titus to appoint elders in the churches of Crete (Titus 1:5). There is a difference between being a "man/woman of God"—as all are called to be, and being "God ́s man/woman"—one called to leadership (Matt. 16:13–20). So let’s make this personal; then God said, “Let Us make _________________ (put your name in there), in Our (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) image, according to Our likeness (Gen. 1:26).” She will seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to her (Matt. 6:33). She shall love the Lord her God with all her heart, with all her soul, and with all her strength (Deut. 6:5). Therefore, she will pray, “Our Father in heaven hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9–10).” She will go through her daily activities teaching and preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness (Matt. 9:35). Because she seek My kingdom, the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven will be given to her (Matt. 13:11). I will give her the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever she bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever she loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Matt.16:19). I am sending her to preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick (Luke 9:2). Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32). “Wow, you see how much love and thought went in to your creation?” When God says,"Let Us make man in Our image," He is not talking about a physical likeness, but a personal and spiritual likeness. He is not talking about our physical feature such as the size of our nose, the shape of our head, or our skin color. Man has intellect, emotions, and will. We are a creative being. These are some characteristics of God that are shared by man. We, are not reaching our full potential because we have not realized Whose DNA we have. Therefore, we have unresolved issues that may have started from in the womb. God’s Kingdom Woman takes you back to the Garden of Eden to get your healing. You will realize that it does not matter your entrance into this world but, only that you fulfill the mandate of Christ, which is to establish His kingdom on earth. As it is in heaven so shall it be on earth. Sis, if you are reading this book, God is calling you to complete your assignment as a God’s Kingdom Woman. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matt. 6:33) What is the kingdom of God? Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, see here! Or see there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:20–21).” The kingdom of God is the spiritual reality and the dynamics available to each person who receives Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. To receive Him—the King—is to receive His kingly rule, not only in your life and over your affairs, but through your life and by your service and love. “The kingdom of God is within you,” Jesus said. A woman of God operates mostly from the outside
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman’s journey from diagnosis to remission to re-entry into “normal” life—from the author of the Life, Interrupted column in The New York Times ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Rumpus, She Reads, Library Journal, Booklist • “I was immersed for the whole ride and would follow Jaouad anywhere. . . . Her writing restores the moon, lights the way as we learn to endure the unknown.”—Chanel Miller, The New York Times Book Review “Beautifully crafted . . . affecting . . . a transformative read . . . Jaouad’s insights about the self, connectedness, uncertainty and time speak to all of us.”—The Washington Post In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world.” She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch—first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. By the time Jaouad flew home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her independence. She would spend much of the next four years in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times. When Jaouad finally walked out of the cancer ward—after countless rounds of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant—she was, according to the doctors, cured. But as she would soon learn, a cure is not where the work of healing ends; it’s where it begins. She had spent the past 1,500 days in desperate pursuit of one goal—to survive. And now that she’d done so, she realized that she had no idea how to live. How would she reenter the world and live again? How could she reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage girl in Florida also recovering from cancer; a teacher in California grieving the death of her son; a death-row inmate in Texas who’d spent his own years confined to a room. What she learned on this trip is that the divide between sick and well is porous, that the vast majority of us will travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.
A strikingly honest look into Islamic culture?—in particular women and Islam?—and what it takes for one woman to recreate herself in the land of invisible women. Unexpectedly denied a visa to remain in the United States, Qanta Ahmed, a young British Muslim doctor, becomes an outcast in motion. On a whim, she accepts an exciting position in Saudi Arabia. This is not just a new job; this is a chance at adventure in an exotic land she thinks she understands, a place she hopes she will belong. What she discovers is vastly different. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a world apart, a land of unparalleled contrast. She finds rejection and scorn in the places she believed would most embrace her, but also humor, honesty, loyalty and love. And for Qanta, more than anything, it is a land of opportunity. Very few Islamic books for women give a firsthand account of what it's like to live in a place where Muslim women continue to be oppressed and treated as inferior to men. But if you want to learn more about the Islamic culture in an unflinchingly real way, this book is for you. "In this stunningly written book, a Western trained Muslim doctor brings alive what it means for a woman to live in the Saudi Kingdom. I've rarely experienced so vividly the shunning and shaming, racism and anti—Semitism, but the surprise is how Dr. Ahmed also finds tenderness at the tattered edges of extremism, and a life—changing pilgrimage back to her Muslim faith." — Gail Sheehy
