White Widow by Joanne Natale Spigonardo Pdf

In the early 20th Century there was a large migration of Southern Italian men to the United States, with most of them finding homes in the Northeastern regions of the US. With the unification of Italy, Southern Italians had a sense of increased mobility but few opportunities for work remained. That was still the status quo. Many of the men left wives and children behind to find work in the States. These women were left to fend for themselves with only the occasional letter and money from their husbands. The husbands were gone for decades or they never returned. The term White Widow can refer to these women as well as others that were not recognized as married by local governments even though they were married in church. Shame, poverty, fear and abandonment were part of their lives. They and their children had to work hard to survive. White Widows were independent and regardless of their circumstances they overcame obstacles and became true heroines of the era.

A president dies of natural causes. A vice-presidential vacancy. A congressman brutally murdered. America's widowed first lady turns to press secretary Nathaniel Freeman-a dashing former college football star-to challenge the Speaker of the House, an ambitious rival who has become an "accidental" president. The upstart Freeman copes with a critically ill wife, a powerful opposing political machine, his personal doubts, and an assassin's attempt on his life. Meanwhile, Sandra Sweet, a former female bicycle cop turned rookie detective, and Caroline McRue, an ex-prostitute now tabloid news reporter, form an uneasy partnership to investigate the murder of a powerful congressman. The two suspect a connection between the lawmaker's slaying and the "natural" death of the President. The brash, but inexperienced investigators combine their talents and develop a personal relationship previously unfulfilled in their lives. The intrigue reaches a climax as the latent lust for power and influence places Freeman, Sweet, and McRue in a position to choose between victory or integrity, at the cost of their lives. White Widow is a nonstop political suspense thriller that questions who the real enemy of the nation is.

Ashes of Immortality by Catherine Weinberger-Thomas Pdf

"At last, she arrives at the fatal end of the plank . . . and, with her hands crossed over her chest, falls straight downward, suspended for a moment in the air before being devoured by the burning pit that awaits her. . . ." This grisly 1829 account by Pierre Dubois demonstrates the usual European response to the Hindu custom of satis sacrificing themselves on the funeral pyres of their husbands—horror and revulsion. Yet to those of the Hindu faith, not least the satis themselves, this act signals the sati's sacredness and spiritual power. Ashes of Immortality attempts to see the satis through Hindu eyes, providing an extensive experiential and psychoanalytic account of ritual self-sacrifice and self-mutilation in South Asia. Based on fifteen years of fieldwork in northern India, where the state-banned practice of sati reemerged in the 1970s, as well as extensive textual analysis, Weinberger-Thomas constructs a radically new interpretation of satis. She shows that their self-immolation transcends gender, caste and class, region and history, representing for the Hindus a path to immortality.
