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
1920206171920. Archive of eight black and white silver gelatin photographs of amateur women's boxing matches. Three photographs show women boxing in an outdoor ring clad in their undergarments or swimsuits. Spectators coaches and referees are not visible in these photos and they are likely amateur matches between friends or a boxing club. Based on hair and undergarment style these likely date to the 1940s. Two show women in swimsuits typical of the 1930s posing in boxing gloves in a residential setting. Two of these photographs appear to be staged for a film or photoshoot with opponents wearing matching boxing uniforms bobbed hair and dramatic film makeup typical of the 1920s. Finally there is a photograph of women in a makeshift indoor ring one brought to her knees by a recent blow. Women's boxing has had a highly controversial history and is still banned professionally in many countries around the world. Exhibition matches in England in the 20s were routinely barred for being "vulgar" and "disgraceful". These photographs document women defying gender roles and social norms to participate in a traditionally masculine sport for their own enjoyment. One photograph has two significant chips to the lower right hand side not affecting subject matter. Overall archive is in very good condition. Well preserved photographs from the 1920s-40s of women defying gender roles by participating in amateur boxing. unknown

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.

1943213981943. Fiction House. Jumbo Comics featuring Sheena Queen of the Jungle 1943 to 1952 documents the emergence of a female action protagonist in American comic publishing during the Golden Age and provides direct evidence of how gender roles were negotiated within mass market entertainment during World War II and the postwar period. Created by Will Eisner and Jerry Iger Sheena stands as one of the earliest female comic characters to headline her own title appearing as a physically capable and independent figure at a time when women were rarely depicted in positions of authority or combat within popular media. These issues support research into comics history women's representation and mid twentieth century visual culture particularly in relation to wartime narratives and evolving depictions of female agency.<br /> <br /> Four issues of Jumbo Comics issued between 1943 and 1952 by Fiction House each in original color illustrated wrappers. 1 Jumbo Comics No. 55. New York: Fiction House September 1943. Wartime issue featuring Sheena in action oriented narratives alongside backup stories such as The Phantom Falcon and Tiger Morgan's U.S. Rangers reflecting contemporary military themes. 2 Jumbo Comics No. 134. New York: Fiction House April 1950. Depicts Sheena intervening in conflict between rival groups emphasizing both combat and mediation roles while presenting indigenous characters through period stereotypes. 3 Jumbo Comics No. 141. New York: Fiction House November 1950. Includes "The Curse of Daanga" combining adventure and supernatural elements with Sheena's leadership within hostile environments. 4 Jumbo Comics No. 155. New York: Fiction House January 1952. Later issue showing continued emphasis on pulp adventure themes and Sheena's role confronting exploitation within jungle settings. Standard comic format 8vo with illustrated covers and interior black and white sequential art.<br /> <br /> Issued during a period of expanding comic readership and heightened wartime and postwar production these issues demonstrate how publishers incorporated female protagonists into adventure narratives while maintaining broader genre conventions rooted in colonial fantasy and exoticized settings. Sheena's characterization as self reliant and physically dominant complicates prevailing mid century gender expectations even as the surrounding narratives reflect contemporary racial and cultural stereotypes. The series' longevity into the early 1950s situates it within the transition from wartime storytelling to postwar entertainment markets offering a sustained record of how female heroism was visualized and consumed in American popular culture.
