However, the writing and publicising of 'memoirs' was not one of them. Even the most illustrious Grand Vizier did not avail his personal diary to others for perusal (even if he ever did put them in black on white). This is what makes Leya (Saz) Hanimefendi's book rather unique. She was taken into the 'Harem' of Sultan Abdulmecid at the age of four and lefty Çiragan palace only to be married. She is the only woman who wrote (or rather dictated to her son) her actual experiences of life at the Çiragan Palace where Sultan Abdulmecid reigned. Her references to many incidents, from the utensils used to the Ladies' Orchestra make this book interesting both to the layman and to the historian. Her great sense of propriety and admiration for the way of life she enjoyed at the palace (despite the vigorous discipline) is another factor that makes reading these memoirs a jotfull experience'.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. [xxx], 272 p. Cruel and usual punishment: The terrifying global implications of Islamic law. Nonie Darwish lived for thirty years in a majority Muslim nation. Everything about her life family, sexuality, hygiene, business, banking, contracts, economics, politics, social issues, everything?was dictated by the Islamic law code known as Sharia. But Sharia isn't staying in majority Muslim nations. Darwish now lives in the West and brings a warning; the goal of radical Islam is to bring Sharia law to your country. If that happens, the fabric of Western law and liberty will be ripped in two. Under Sharia law: A woman can be beaten for talking to men who are not her relatives and flogged for not wearing a headdress. Daughters, sisters, and wives can be legally killed by the men in their family. Non-Muslims can be beheaded, and their Muslim killers will not receive the death penalty. Certain kinds of child molestation are allowed. The husband of a "rebellious" wife can deny her medical care or place her under house arrest. Think it can't happen? In 2008, England?once the seat of Western liberty and now the home of many Muslim immigrants?declared that Sharia courts in Britain have the force of law. When Muslim populations reach as little as 1 or 2 percent, says Darwish, they begin making demands of the larger community, such as foot-level faucets for washing before praying in public schools, businesses, and airports. "Airports in Kansas City, Phoenix, and Indianapolis are among those who have already installed foot baths for Muslim cab drivers," writes Darwish. These demands test how far Westerners will go in accommodating the Muslim minority. How far will they push? The Organization of the Islamic Conference works to Islamize international human rights laws and apply Sharia "standards" for blasphemy to all nations. The penalty for blasphemy? Death. Weaving personal experience together with extensive documentation and research, Darwish exposes the facts and reveals the global threat posed by Sharia law. Anyone concerned about Western rights and liberties ignores her warning and analysis at their peril.

ABOUT THE BOOK:- From pre-historic stages women have been tortured, raped, sold even to embrace death by committing suicide or accepting 'Sati' culture and were affected with other social and domestic violences. They were always considered as weakers than masculine world of muscles. Although in India; in the ages of the Vedas, women were equally participants in the rituals and also as composers of various hymns but gradually their stayals and activities were confined in domestic world. However, many of them came forward alone or with their counterparts to work for the development, to bring light in the darkness of the society. At the advent of Vaishnavism led by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu women, despite performing all their domestic duties were involved in spreading Vaishnavism and glorified it. The book, originally written in Bengali by Dr. Uma Bandopadhyay were in two parts elaborating the lives of Vaishnavite women. The present writer whose' Sri Chaitanyadev and Gadadhar fetched fame has chosen ranging from 3005 BC.(or 8th century AD) to 19th century. Vaishnava devotees translated in abridged and edited form of 108 lives of women in English. It is sure that thousands of women devotees still remain whom to be remembered.

In his book Mahasarathi Sri Goswami, analyzed the role and sentiments of Sri Krishna, in his Droupadi Ananya, he scanned the socio-literary value of Droupadi. His poignant reasoning explored newer dimensions in character analysis of the Mahabharta. He was honoured with Sahityasri and Bharat Bhushan titles in 1989 and 2002 respectively by ABBSS (Bhopal), Srila Vrindavandas and the best writer in Scriptures from Kolkata for restless researches on Sri Gouranga i.e., Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The author is the fourth son of Sadhak Mukundalal Goswami. He probably was one of the 11th descendants of Ballav Chaitanya Goswami, one of the important associates of Lord Sri Chaitanyadev and His disciple of Pundit Sri Gadadhara. This author's mother Asha Rani was also only daughter among three sons of Gour Kishore Goswami who was one of the eleventh descendants of Sri Nityananada Prabhu.

"In many ways, I was an independent woman," writes Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alice Steinbach. "For years I'd made my own choices, paid my own bills, shoveled my own snow." But somehow she had become dependent in quite another way. "I had fallen into the habit of defining myself in terms of who I was to other people and what they expected of me." But who was she away from the people and things that defined her? In this exquisite book, Steinbach searches for the answer to this question in some of the most beautiful and exciting places in the world: Paris, where she finds a soul mate; Oxford, where she takes a course on the English village; Milan, where she befriends a young woman about to be married. Beautifully illustrated with postcards from Steinbach's journeys, this revealing and witty book transports you into a fascinating inner and outer journey, an unforgettable voyage of discovery.Contains a "Reader's Guide" (pp 283-295) Book
