For years, Sue Monk Kidd was a conventionally religious woman. Then, in the late 1980s, she experienced an unexpected awakening, and began a journey toward a feminine spirituality. With the exceptional storytelling skills that have helped make her name, Kidd tells her very personal story of the fear, anger, healing, and freedom she experienced on the path toward the wholeness that many women have lost in the church. From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore, to monastery retreats and to rituals in the caves of Crete, she reveals a new level of feminine spiritual consciousness for all women one that retains a meaningful connection with the "deep song of Christianity," embraces the sacredness of ordinary women's experience, and has the power to transform in the most positive ways every fundamental relationship in a woman's life her marriage, her career, and her religion. 238p.As new except for remainder mark.

In-12, demi-chagrin rouge de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs, titre doré (reliure signée Stroobants), 251, (1) p. d'achevé d'imprimer. Edition originale. Rangée par la critique de son temps au nombre des "romantiques féminins" aux côtés d'Anna de Noailles, Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, Marie Dauguet et Renée Vivien, Marie de Regnier composa, sous le pseudonyme de Gérard d'Houville, une oeuvre originale saluée par la critique de son temps. Romancière féconde, poétesse et critique littéraire, elle était la fille de José-Maria de Heredia, et l'épouse d'Henri de Régnier. Femme très libre et dégagée des conventions, elle eut Pierre Louys comme amant, qui entretint également des relations avec sa mère et ses deux soeurs. Il épousera d'ailleurs finalement la plus jeune des trois filles Hérédia et s'inspirera de ces relations pour son roman érotique 'Trois filles de leur mère'. Marie de Hérédia reçut, en 1918, le premier prix de l'Académie française pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre, devenant ainsi la première femme à obtenir cette récompense. Envoi autographe signé sous son pseudonyme de Gérard d'Houville à Monsieur et Madame Paul Deschanel, au lendemain de la démission de ce dernier de son poste de Président de la République et à la veille de son décès. On joint également une carte postale timbrée et datée du 9 juin 1943 de "Madame Henri Régnier" à Marc Chesneau (1899-1980) au sujet de la Société des Poètes et pour le remercier de ses vers. Mors légèrement frottés. Très bon exemplaire, bien relié par Stroobants.

New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In English. 248 p. The main target audience of this book is scholars, researchers, critics, students who study in the field of contemporary British feminist theatre and anyone who is interested in women's studies and drama. This book depicts marginalized women's voices through the medium of feminist theatre by analysing subversive women characters in the plays of Timberlake Wertenbaker and Pam Gems. This book depicts how historic/mythic characters subvert traditional gender roles to set a feminine identity of their own that does not accord with the patriarchal order. In the discussion of the marginalized characters, Ülker Erkan analysed Wertenbaker's plays namely New Anatomies, Our Country's Good, and The Love of the Nightingale and Pam Gems's plays Dusa, Fish, Stas and Vi, Piaf, and Queen Christina through several feminist criticisms. Feminist theatre as discussed in the subject-matter plays may prevent oppression and develop perspectives, which are egalitarian, fair, optimistic, hopeful, liberated from any oppressive systems, and full of future expectations.
