Woman and Labour - Enriched edition

Olive Schreiner

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Woman and Labour," Olive Schreiner explores the complex intersections of gender and labor in late 19th-century society, offering a profound critique of the social and economic structures that bind women's identities to domesticity. Schreiner employs a combination of personal narrative, sociological analysis, and philosophical inquiry, which was pioneering for its time. Her literary style is characterized by eloquent prose and striking imagery, inviting readers to contemplate the systemic restrictions placed on women and advocating for their liberation through meaningful engagement in both economic and intellectual pursuits. Olive Schreiner, a South African writer and early feminist, faced the limitations imposed on women firsthand, which deeply influenced her views on labor and gender roles. Her personal experiences, combined with her extensive reading and engagement with contemporary feminist thought, informed her passionate advocacy for women's rights. Schreiner's background in a missionary family and her exposure to social injustice fueled her determination to challenge prevailing norms and expand the discourse on women's contributions to society. "Woman and Labour" is an essential read for anyone interested in feminist theory, social justice, and the evolution of gender roles. Schreiner's insights remain relevant today, inspiring readers to reflect on the historical context of women's labor and encouraging a broader conversation about equality and empowerment in the contemporary world.

Explore the grizzly tale of Charleston's most infamous serial killers from the beginning of their reign of horror till their eventual incarceration and execution. 
 
 
 
In 1819, a young man outwitted death at the hands of John and Lavinia Fisher and sparked the hunt for Charleston's most notorious serial killers. Former homicide investigator Bruce Orr follows the story of the Fishers, from the initial police raid on their Six Mile Inn with its reportedly grisly cellar to the murderous couple's incarceration and execution at the squalid Old City Jail. Yet there still may be more sinister deeds left unpunished, an overzealous sheriff, corrupt officials, and documents only recently discovered all suggest that there is more to the tale. Orr uncovers the mysteries and debunks the myths behind the infamous legend of the nation's first convicted female serial killer.

Love and Saint Augustine

Hannah Arendt

Hannah Arendt, the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition, began her scholarly career with an exploration of Saint Augustine's concept of caritas, or neighborly love, written under the direction of Karl Jaspers and the influence of Martin Heidegger. After her German academic life came to a halt in 1933, Arendt carried her dissertation into exile in France, and years later took the same battered and stained copy to New York. 
 
 
  
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Arendt was simultaneously annotating and revising her dissertation on Augustine, amplifying its argument with terms and concepts she was using in her political works. The dissertation became a bridge over which Arendt traveled back and forth between 1929 Heidelberg and 1960s New York, carrying with her Augustine's question about the possibility of social life in an age of rapid political and moral change. 
 
 
 
In Love and Saint Augustine, political science professor Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and philosophy professor Judith Chelius Stark make this important early work accessible for the first time. Here is a completely corrected and revised English translation that incorporates Arendt's own substantial revisions and provides additional notes based on letters, contracts, and other documents as well as the recollections of Arendt's friends and colleagues.
