Sinopsis

"Education for Women" explores the historical struggle for women's access to formal education, revealing the societal barriers and patriarchal structures that long denied them equal opportunities. It examines how philosophical and religious justifications were employed to limit women's learning, with a deep dive into the gradual shifts during the Enlightenment and beyond. Highlighting both the historical denial of education and the emergence of pioneering female educators, the book emphasizes the ongoing challenges in contemporary education. The book uniquely combines historical analysis with contemporary insights, offering a nuanced understanding of the ongoing struggle for gender equality. Primary sources like letters and educational records offer firsthand accounts, while statistical data demonstrates trends and disparities. Though significant progress has occurred, the book argues that true gender equality remains an unfulfilled goal.

 
Structured logically, "Education for Women" begins by establishing a historical backdrop and defining key concepts. Subsequent chapters explore the denial of education in different periods and regions, dedicating a section to women who defied norms. The book culminates with an analysis of contemporary challenges, such as gender bias in STEM fields, and considers policy recommendations for promoting gender equality.

Survive Grief & Come Back to...

Paula J Roscoe

Experiencing Grief is inevitable in life because death is certain. Nobody can avoid it, and yet it seems that too many people hide from this fact, preferring to 'leave it till later'. The very word 'death' is whispered and most often dodged if possible, preferring words like 'lost', 'passed' or 'sleeping'.
Grief can be a shock when death occurs, even if it has been previously experienced because grief is never the same. My grief for my mum who died in 2019 was nothing compared to the death of our son, Jac in 1997, which catapulted me into this world of grief specialist, therapist and best selling author. For many clients 'counselling' worked just 'fine', however, I knew there was more to life having healed my mind, body and spirit because all three are affected by grief. So I used my grief and death knowledge, accepted the guidance of angels and spirit guides, and created bespoke programmes to heal aspects of grief such as anger and stress, elevating your energy and find out who you REALLY are, along with my powerful 5 month programme to heal and come back to life after grieving.
Within these pages I offer grief knowledge, self help writing exercises and my own personal journey of discovery through surviving abuse, suicides, death and trauma. I can't promise you a happy ending, but I can promise honesty, truth and love.

The History of England Volume 4...

David Hume

In Volume 4, Hume closes his account of ‘England Under the House of Tudor’ begun in Volume 3, and devotes it entirely to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It was not really expected that she would survive to accede to the monarchy; and it was certainly unexpected that she would rule for so long (1558-1603) while steadfastly declining to take a husband. All in all, her reign was a remarkable achievement.
Elizabeth had so much to contend with over the years. From the start, she had to oversee the reinstatement of the Protestant religion after the tumultuous reign of her sister, Mary. Then came the testing matter of Mary, Queen of Scots which dragged on for decades.
There were also numerous Catholic conspiracies (many threats to her personally), requiring close attention by her protective spymaster ministers William Cecil and Francis Walsingham.
Then there were the complex relationships with other leading European powers, France and Spain, culminating in the spectacular climax in 1588 when Sir Francis Drake (and the weather) routed the Spanish Armada.
Hume does not approach Elizabeth and her reign with the ‘unbounded panegyrics’ so often adopted by historians before him. He criticises them for ‘having been so extremely ignorant of the transactions of this reign as to extol her for a quality which, of all others, she was the least possessed of – a tender regard for the constitution, and a concern for the liberties and privileges of her people.’ This, Hume insists, was not quite Elizabeth.
Despite acknowledging her popularity, Hume is at pains in his History to present a more rounded portrait. ‘The prerogatives of this princess were scarcely ever disputed, and she therefore employed them without scruple: Her imperious temper, a circumstance in which she went far beyond her successors, rendered her exertions of power violent and frequent, and discovered the full extent of her authority.
However, he continues, ‘the great popularity, which she enjoyed proves that she did not infringe any established liberties of the people’.
In Volume 4, Hume shows himself to be a historian of character and clarity, but also demonstrates his scholarly integrity. In the controversial issue of the guilt or innocence of Mary, for example, he went back to original documents to support his opinion. This is why his History of England remains an informative and stimulating account in the 21st century.

A Room of One's Own

Virginia Woolf

'Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.'

Based on two lectures Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge, A Room of One's Own compellingly argues for women's intellectual freedom and the importance of financial independence. It is still considered one of the most powerful pieces of feminist writing to this day.

Published in 1929, A Room of One's Own asserts a simple message: in order for women to reach their full creative potential, they must have their own money and space with which to do it with. Drawing from the careers of the extraordinary female authors who came before her – such as Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters and Aphra Behn – Woolf stresses just how crucial access to education is, particularly in an environment which fails to support women's liberty. She cleverly asks us to imagine that Shakespeare had a sister – equal in genius, talent – and poses the question: would her legacy be the same if her means to create were stumped? As incisive as it is intelligent, A Room of One's Own is a searing social commentary for the ages. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Karen Cass.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
