We Women and Our Authors - Unveiling Gender Bias: A Critical Look at Female Representation in Literature

Laura Marholm

Sinopse

In "We Women and Our Authors," Laura Marholm presents a pioneering exploration of female authorship at the turn of the 20th century, offering insights that challenge the male-dominated literary canon of her time. Marholm's literary style is notable for its eloquent prose and passionate advocacy for women's voices, as she examines the works of notable women writers alongside their male counterparts. The book contextualizes these literary contributions within the broader socio-cultural framework, highlighting how women's literary expression was often marginalized yet critical in shaping literary discourse. By focusing on gender dynamics, Marholm engages with feminist literary theory long before it became mainstream, positioning her work as a seminal text in both feminist criticism and literary history. Laura Marholm, an accomplished writer and thinker in her own right, was influenced by her experiences living in a time of profound change regarding women'Äôs rights and societal roles. Born into a progressive environment, she championed female creativity and intellectual pursuits, likely drawing from her interactions with contemporaneous authors to compose this compelling argument for the recognition of women in literature. Her intimate understanding of both the struggles and triumphs faced by women writers adds depth and authenticity to her critique. For readers seeking a nuanced understanding of the role women have played in literary history, "We Women and Our Authors" serves as both a critical resource and an impassioned call to acknowledge female literary genius. Marholm's articulate reflections resonate even today, making this book an essential read for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of women'Äôs contributions to literature.

Stewardship - The Responsible...

Esther Jameson

Stewardship is a comprehensive approach to management that emphasizes responsible care and accountability for the resources entrusted to individuals, organizations, and communities. At its core, stewardship requires an understanding of both the tangible and intangible values of these resources and a commitment to ensuring they are used in a manner that preserves their potential for future generations. This chapter explores the historical evolution, philosophical underpinnings, and modern applications of stewardship, offering readers a solid grounding in the fundamental principles that guide responsible management.
Historically, the concept of stewardship can be traced back to ancient civilizations where caring for community resources was integral to societal survival and growth. Early cultures recognized the importance of balancing consumption with preservation, creating frameworks that emphasized duty, trust, and ethical responsibility. As societies evolved, these early principles laid the groundwork for more complex systems of governance and ethical management, adapting to meet the challenges of rapidly changing environments. This evolution underscores that stewardship is not a static concept but a dynamic practice that reflects the values and needs of the times.
In today’s world, stewardship extends far beyond basic resource management. It embraces sustainable practices, ethical leadership, and a long-term vision necessary for navigating the complexities of modern challenges in finance, the environment, and social structures. Central to this approach is the belief that effective management involves a deep respect for all resources—natural, financial, and human—and a commitment to their wise utilization. By integrating time-honored values with contemporary techniques, stewardship creates resilient frameworks that enable organizations to adapt to change while maintaining their core principles.

Room for Two

Abel Keogh

"Sweetie, I'm home." I tried to put as much kindness into my voice as possible. I didn't want to have another argument - at least not right away. 
Silence. 
"Sweetheart?" 
A gunshot echoed from our bedroom, followed by the sound of a bullet casing skipping along a wall. 
Everything slowed down. 
*** 
When a life is destroyed, when guilt says you played a role in its destruction, how do you face the days ahead? Twenty-six-year-old Abel Keogh chooses to ignore the promptings he receives concerning his wife's mental illness, and now he feels he is to blame for her choices. If only he had listened . . . 
At some point in our lives, each of us face devastating afflictions and must eventually cope with loss. Regardless of how it happens, the outcome is still the same - we are left isolated, alone, wondering what we could have done differently, and where we can turn for peace. This is Abel's story of love and loss in his own words. His search for peace and the miracle that follows is proof that love and hope can endure, despite the struggles and tragedies that shape each of our lives.
