This is the intimate first-person account of a young woman's coming-of-age in Somalia. The daughter of tribal leaders, Aman recounts her dramatic life while at the same time illuminating an innocent childhood romance with a white boy that leads to murder; her circumcision ceremony; an unwanted marriage at the age of 13; and her escape to the city where her beauty and curiosity lead her into a world of white men, parties and runaway girls.Translation imto Greek by George Kousounelos .Introducton and epilogue by Janice Bandy. 371p. bibliography Book

New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 150 p. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was one of the first establishments to introduce a Western-style educational system to the peoples of the Ottoman Empire. This thesis is an examination of the emergence of interest in foreign missions among American women in particular, and the latter s contribution to missionary activities. It seeks to determine how and why educational facilities for Armenian females were established and their social and religious impact, largely from the perspective of the missionaries themselves. It looks at how contact with Armenians prompted adjustments in missionary approaches and policies towards educational missions. The notion of educated Christian womanhood entailed the championing of female education and a re-imaging of the role of women as wives and mothers. The promotion of female education facilitated new opportunities for Armenian women via teaching and evangelism. The central argument of this thesis is that American missionary activity significantly contributed to the increased interest in female education among the Armenian communities of the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the nineteenth century.

A collection of essays that explores the paradoxical attitudes that women in the US have exhibited over a span of more than two centuries. It examines the attempts of several influential American women, including Margaret Fuller, Edith Hamilton and Hilda Doolittle, to interpret myth for an audience that distrusted it.281p, illus bibliography, Note on ffep else fine Book
In 8°; cc. 39, (1). Bella bordura al frontespizio, con putti, maschere, uccelli; un capolettera inciso su legno e all’ultima pagina la bella marca tipografica incisa su legno, di Niccolò Garanta, con un delfino nel mare sotto il cielo stellato. Eleganta stampa in corsivo. Legatura ottocentesca in mezza pelle con titolo in oro al dorso. Bell’esemplare marginoso; qualche traccia d’umido che nulla toglie alla sua estetica. Il nome dell’autore è al principiio della lettera di dedica alla “sua signora”. Il traduttore dal castigliano al volgare italiano è come appare Lelio Aletiphilo che dedica l’opera a Scipione Atellano. Prima edizione italiana. La materia della novella di Juan de Flores, che nella versione originale spagnola aveva titolo La historia de Grisel y Mirabella, è una fortunata prosecuzione della Fiammetta di Boccaccio e più volte sarà ripresa nella novellistica amorosa del Rinascimento. Si tratta apparentemente dell’amore, in realtà si disquisisce sulla condizione femminile, e la trama si chiude con vendetta delle donne verso colui che le le calunniava. La traduzione dal castigliano è presumibilmente opera di Lelio Manfredi, se in lui si riconosce Lelio Aletiphilo, giurista e valente letterato ferrarese della prima metà del XVI secolo, traduttore per Isabella d’Este. “Secondo Libanori (p. 187), il M. fu dottore in legge; trascorse gran parte della sua vita a viaggiare per l'Europa, apprendendo molte lingue straniere, in particolare lo spagnolo. Mise a profitto le sue conoscenze per la corte di Mantova, traducendo dallo spagnolo romanzi cavallereschi, che destavano viva curiosità in Isabella d'Este. È probabile che al M. debba essere assegnata anche la traduzione di un altro romanzo spagnolo La historia de Grisel y Mirabella di Juan de Flores, un romanzetto in cui sono narrati i casi di due infelicissimi amanti, che fu tradotto in italiano come l'Historia di Aurelio et Isabella. Il nome del traduttore - d'invenzione o accademico - sotto cui andava l'opera era Lelio Aletiphilo, il quale celerebbe il M. secondo gli studiosi più antichi (primo fra tutti Rajna, p. 156 e nn.), mentre gli editori più recenti tendono a escluderlo” (DBI, ad vocem Manfredi).

44 p. Foxed. Disbound. 8vo. 220 mm. Joseph Ripley Chandler (1792-1880) was a Whig member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania. Born in Kingston, MA, he was engaged in commercial work in Boston, MA, and moved to Philadelphia, PA in 1815. He founded a young ladies' seminary and worked as editor of the United States Gazette from 1822 to 1847. He was a member of the Philadelphia City Council from 1832 to 1848, and a member of the State constitutional convention in 1837. For a short time (1848), he was an editorial assistant at Graham's Magazine in 1848. Chandler was elected as a Whig to the Thirty-first, Thirty-second, and Thirty-third Congresses. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1854. He was appointed by President James Buchanan as Minister to the Two Sicilies and served from June 15, 1858, to November 15, 1860. He served as president of the board of directors of Girard College. He became interested in prison reform and was a delegate to the International Prison Congress held at London in 1872. This speech includes a good bit on chivalry and women. PA PAMPH 19 /1 Bag A1
Peut-on donner aux enfants qui ne sont plus allaités des nourritures solides ? Si la postérité a surtout retenu son portait par Jean Jouvenet au Louvre, la thèse cardinale de ce médecin bitterois par son thème, son texte et sa date, apporte des données pas toujours reconnues sur le savoir pédiatrique et diététique et même odontologique de l'époque. Ce texte dont le thème a été imposé par la faculté se situe treize ans avant la parution du traité de Barthelemy Martin sur la dentition dont les historiens anglo-saxons ont encore beaucoup de mal à admettre les vues novatrices.
