Book Description
Thirty years after the publication of The Female Eunuch, Germaine Greer is back with the sequel she vowed never to write. "A marvelous performance--. No feminist writer can match her for eloquence or energy; none makes [us] laugh the way she does."--The Washington Post In this thoroughly engaging new book, the fervent, rollicking, straight-shooting Greer, is, as ever, "the ultimate agent provocateur" (Mirabella). With passionate rhetoric, outrageous humor, and the authority of a lifetime of thought and observation, she trains a sharp eye on the issues women face at the turn of the century. From the workplace to the kitchen, from the supermarket to the bedroom, Greer exposes the innumerable forms of insidious discrimination and exploitation that continue to plague women around the globe. She mordantly attacks "lifestyle feminists" who blithely believe they can have it all, and argues for a fuller, more organic idea of womanhood. Whether it's liposuction or abortion, Barbie or Lady Diana, housework or sex work, Greer always has an opinion, and as one of the most brilliant, glamorous, and dynamic feminists of all time, her opinions matter. For anyone interested in the future of womanhood, The Whole Woman is a must-read.

Book Description
Do you want to minister to the women around you, but find yourself stuck in a rut? Are you bored with "the way you've always done it" when it comes to serving others in your church, community, friendships, or family? The Whole Woman looks at what it means to care for another woman holistically--heart, soul, mind, and strength--as an extension of loving God. The book explores how we might care for the emotions, motivations, desires, thoughts, and relationships of ourselves and others. It also provides some practical actions that you can immediately put into practice. The contributors of this book come from all sorts of backgrounds (professors, ministry leaders, denominational leaders, and others) but have one thing in common: they love to see women grow in their walks with the Lord. Join the authors of The Whole Woman, and find out how you can best serve the women around you.

Pages : 176

Book Description
We are all BROKEN Our brokenness manifests in how we interact with family, friends, and especially lovers. It tears away at our security, forcing us to wall ourselves off for fear of more pain. We sabotage relationships and hinder our growth, unwilling to face the traumas of our past that hold us in bondage. Being a woman comes with its own set of challenges, but why allow your past to rob your joy of singleness and keep you in toxic relationships? Something has to change! Shoving your pile of brokenness together with another in an effort to feel whole will never work. You must end the cycle of brokenness by attacking it at its roots. If you are ready to face your past and craft the bright future God intends for you as his daughter, then it's time to open this book and dig in. Through research and over 17 years of experience in ministry, husband and wife team Ezekiel and Kiyanna Azonwu have uncovered the path to experiencing wholeness by allowing God to perform the surgery that brings us self-actualization. The actionable information in this book has the potential to set you on a path to a better mindset, better relationships, and a better future.

Book Description
A Woman Through and Through In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work.

The publication of Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch in 1970 was a landmark event, raising eyebrows and ire while creating a shock wave of recognition in women around the world with its steadfast assertion that sexual liberation is the key to women's liberation. Today, Greer's searing examination of the oppression of women in contemporary society is both an important historical record of where we've been and a shockingly relevant treatise on what still remains to be achieved.

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 90

Book Description
A bold, mesmerizing debut collection exploring womanhood, the body, mental illness, and what it means to move between cultures Renowned for her storytelling and spoken-word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka is also an exultant, fierce, and visceral poet whose work leaves a lasting impact. Touching on themes from perceptions of beauty to the betrayals of the body, from what it means to give consent to how we grapple with demons internal and external, Woman, Eat Me Whole is an entirely fresh and powerful look at womanhood and personhood in a shifting world. Moving between Ghana and the United States, Diaka probes those countries’ ever-changing cultural expectations and norms while investigating the dislocation and fragmentation of a body—and a mind—so often restless or ill at ease. Vivid and bodily while also deeply cerebral, Woman, Eat Me Whole is a searing debut collection from a poet with an inimitable voice and vision.
