The higher education of women - Empowering Women Through Education: A Victorian Feminist Manifesto

Emily Davis

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Higher Education of Women," Emily Davies presents a compelling argument for the necessity of women's access to higher learning in the 19th century, a time when societal norms often relegated women to the domestic sphere. Employing a persuasive literary style marked by clarity and eloquence, Davies explores the obstacles women faced in pursuing education and the transformative power of knowledge. Her work situates itself within the broader context of the women'Äôs rights movement, drawing on contemporary educational theories and the sociopolitical climate of Victorian England to advocate for equality in educational opportunities. Emily Davies, an early feminist and one of the founders of Girton College, the first residential college for women in the UK, championed women's education throughout her life. Her personal experiences as a student and educator revealed the stark inequities underlining gender and education, motivating her to write this work as both a critique of the status quo and a blueprint for reform. Her insights illuminate the historical struggle for gender equality in education and reflect her dedication to elevating the status of women in society. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in gender studies, educational reform, and the history of women'Äôs rights. Davies'Äô insightful arguments and passionate advocacy illuminate a pivotal chapter in the ongoing discourse surrounding education and equality, making it relevant for contemporary readers seeking to understand the roots of gender inequality in academia.

Nest City - How Citizens Serve...

Beth Sanders

Our linear ways of thinking about, organizing and planning our cities do not meet the true nature of cities as complex and messy systems. There are no simple solutions to the challenges we face: many citizens don't feel they belong; we don't agree on how to best move around; many don't have jobs or homes they can afford; we make running businesses hard work; we are facing challenges with the climate crisis and a pandemic. At a time when understanding the relationship between our physical, economic and social habitats is essential, Sanders sets forth an approach to work with the disruptions of our times. 
Drawing on her expertise as a city planner and a relationship-broker in the conflicts that surface in city life, Sanders offer strategies to explore how cities, public institutions, community organizations and the business community can work together to improve our cities. She explores the evolutionary nature of our relationship with cities, and how the tension we experience in city life compels each of us to work to improve and regenerate our cities. 
Nest City articulates the importance of having a sense of direction, being willing as citizens and cities to learn along the way, and accepting the uncertainty and messiness of cities as opportunities to make cities that serve cities well. Nest City will forever alter the way to look at your city, your local public institutions, community organizations or businesses--and how you think about and contribute to your city.
