Gynocracy by Murphy Powell Pdf

What is Gynocracy? Technically, it is a government run by women. But three time author, Darryl Murphy, a pioneer of the literary genre "The History You Didn't Learn In School," weaves together the collective stories of unsung women, from all time periods and of all colors and creeds, who have had a resounding impact, both good and bad, on the world we live in. Inside the pages of this book you will meet women like the adventurer, Barbara Hillary, who explored the North Pole at the age of 75 and the South Pole at 79, and talented Nineteenth Century women artists known as the "Women Impressionists." Meet the woman who revolutionized the marketing industry by creating the Tupperware Party. Learn why Martha Washington who, when widowed by her first husband at age 25, was considered the best "catch" in Colonial America. Find out what really made Catherine the Great, well, great! Meet the "Six Triple Eights," the only all Black female unit to serve in the European war zone during World War II and many more truly unique women who, until now, lived on history's back pages. Gynocracy is Darryl Murphy's third history book. His other titles are Three Blind Mice and Tropospheric Politics.

The Routledge Handbook on Identity in Byzantium by Michael Edward Stewart,David Alan Parnell,Conor Whately Pdf

This volume is the first to focus solely on how specific individuals and groups in Byzantium and its borderlands were defined and distinguished from other individuals and groups from the mid-fourth to the close of the fifteenth century. It gathers chapters from both established and emerging scholars from a wide range of disciplines across history, art, archaeology, and religion to provide an accurate representation of the state of the field both now and in its immediate future. The handbook is divided into four subtopics that examine concepts of group and specific individual identity which have been chosen to provide methodologically sophisticated and multidisciplinary perspectives on specific categories of group and individual identity. The topics are Imperial Identities; Romanitas in the Late Antique Mediterranean; Macro and Micro Identities: Religious, Regional, and Ethnic Identities, and Internal Others; and Gendered Identities: Literature, Memory, and Self in Early and Middle Byzantium. While no single volume could ever provide a comprehensive vision of identities on the vast variety of peoples within Byzantium over nearly a millennium of its history, this handbook represents a milestone in offering a survey of the vibrant surge of scholarship examining the numerous and oft-times fluctuating codes of identity that shaped and transformed Byzantium and its neighbours during the empire’s long life.

Strange Communion by Jacqueline Vanhoutte Pdf

Strange Communion concerns the development in Tudor culture of a tendency to identify the common good with the health of the motherland. Playwrights, polemicists, and politicians such as John Bale, Richard Morison, and William Shakespeare, among others, relied on maternal representations of England to evoke a sense of common purpose. Vanhoutte examines how such motherland tropes came to describe England, how they changed in response to specific political crises, and how they came, by the end of the sixteenth century, to shape literary ideals of masculinity. While Henrician propagandists appealed to Mother England in order to enforce dynastic privilege, their successors modified nationalist symbols as to qualify absolute monarchy. The accessions of two queens thus encouraged a convergence of nationalist and patriarchal ideologies: in late Tudor works, evocations of the national family tend to efface class distinctions while reinforcing gender distinctions. Dr. Jacqueline Vanhoutte is an assistant professor at the University of North Texas.

Solutions For Anti-Black Misandry, Flat Blackness, and Black Male Death by T. Hasan Johnson Pdf

This book deconstructs stereotypes about Black men through the exploration of their vulnerability, drawing attention to their demographic-specific issues and needs that are so rarely articulated. Since the Black Power era, many Black men have responded with a Black identity affirming sensibility that sought to advance the cause of Black people. However, Black males have a need for race and gender-specific vocabulary that explains their experience with specificity, including concepts such as Black Masculinism, anti-Black misandry, and Black Andromortality, which seek to explain the experiences of Black males from the context of their lived experiences. Drawing upon empirical data, this volume offers policy solutions that challenge the institutional prejudices against Black males and the disproportionately high rates of death they face. Solutions are proposed to the outlined challenges and chapters span topics such as social and family-based solutions, health, small business support, law, and policy. This book will be essential reading for researchers, professionals, and anyone interested in masculinity, gender studies, and Black Male Studies.

Women and Tudor Tragedy by Allyna E. Ward Pdf

The role of women as writers, literary and dramatic characters, and real queens in early modern Europe was central to the development of Tudor ideas about gender and women’s place in society. Women and Tudor Tragedy investigates the link between gender and genre, identifying the relation between cultural history and mid-Tudor drama. This book establishes a way for reading women in early modern history, drama, and poetry by fusing discussions of gender in literature with historical analysis of tyranny and martyrdom in mid-Tudor culture. It considers the disparities between the representation of women in historical, political, and religious treatises by examining the complex portrayal of women, female speeches, and the rhetoric of good counsel. The author provides a discussion of the role of women in early English tragedies and in a variety of texts by women. Throughout the book, Allyna E. Ward asks in what ways these different ways of writing the Tudor women can help scholars better understand the place of women in English culture at the end of the sixteenth century. Furthermore, Ward traces the feminization of the rhetoric of counsel that takes place with the last Tudor monarchs as a way of accommodating female rule.

Colonial Women by Heidi Hutner Pdf

Colonial Women is the first comprehensive study to explore the interpenetrating discourses of gender and race in Stuart drama. Analyzing the plays of Shakespeare, Fletcher, Davenant, Dryden, Behn and other playwrights, Heidi Hutner argues that in drama, as in historical accounts, the symbol of the native woman is used to justify and promote the success of the English appropriation, commodification, and exploitation of the New World and its native inhabitants.
