Achterin is een uitgebreide woordenlijst, een overzicht van de vrouwen en een compleet register opgenomen. It has no issues going over the harm to indigenous communities in Australia and Guatemala, but completely avoids mentioning how US-Americans harmed indigenous communities. Herstory is a term for history written from a feminist perspective and emphasizing the role of women, or told from a woman's point of view. It originated as an alteration of the word " history", as part of a feminist critique of conventional historiography, which in their opinion is traditionally written as "his story", i.e., from the male point of view. The term is a neologism since the word "history"—from the Ancient Greek word ἱστορία, or more directly from its Latin derivate historia, meaning "knowledge obtained by inquiry"— [1] is etymologically unrelated to the possessive pronoun his. [2] In fact, Roman languages originally attribute the word to the feminine grammatical form, for instance la storia in Italian - the Romance language most resembling Latin. I was super excited about this book and thought it was going to be great. It seems like a really good book for kids and she has direct quotes from these women. She has beautiful imagery, the typesete worked really well for the story. But I leave feeling not so sure about it. I mean some of these ladies are badass and awesome; I love Sophie Scholl & Ada Lovelace they are not well known and are pretty amazing. Um Wangari Maathai graduated from my College, she is amazing. But then there were other things I couldn't ignore....some of the 'Believe and lead' ladies were great but...just not the best models. There were a couple things I read that I wasn't sure were okay to glorify? And there was a part she said something about if she was a man this would be celebrated and I thought really? It was weird and I wasn't really jiving with it. My note was: "There were a could times I was a bit like 'eh I don't know about that' and when the author talked about how the women were remembered/depicted/behaved. Almost like she said if they were men this would have been fine but I'm not sure if that's great justification." AND! So I was reading along and I got to Hypatia (p. 72-73) and the picture the author used I had on a book I owned about women in the middle ages and that book said it was Saint Catherine of Sienna, which makes sense with the halo around her head. This made me feel suspicious and uncomfortable. I googled it and it was one of the images that came up but it is called 'St. Catherine disputing with the philosophers of Alexandria' by Masolino de Panicale?? Which seems a bit like shoddy research? Am I being too judgemental? I have no idea.

Andrew Eales is a widely respected piano educator, writer and composer based on Milton Keynes UK. His book HOW TO PRACTISE MUSIC is published by Hal Leonard. A lot of familiar faces here, but some new (to me) ones too. The selection spans millenia and all demographics. I was happy to learn about more incredible women but a lot of context is missing. I hope the children who read this book grow up to further research their complex heroines.An international education project exploring the fact that emigration and immigration are two sides of the same story. In the elementary to intermediate pieces, Marshall has sensibly added some performance directions to assist less experienced players unfamiliar with the music, while the music editing later in the book transitions towards a more urtext approach.

In de inhoudsopgave wordt duidelijk dat dit gemêleerde gezelschap vrouwen ingedeeld is in categorieën: denkers, leiders, creatievelingen, wereldverbeteraars en helden. A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and The Creation of the Modern Middle East The topic of undiscovered works by female composers has been covered a great deal in recent years. When the pandemic hit, unable to do my regular teaching, I decided to investigate some female composers for myself. What first started out as personal curiosity developed into a signifiant journey of discovery. The more I researched, the more I realised how little was known about these composers and how fascinating their stories were. Most importantly, because many of these women were piano teachers, their work was enormously pedagogically rich. I found a treasure trove of new material from the baroque, classical, romantic and early 20th century periods that really spoke to me and my students.” It’s time for a childbirth revolution. The modern approach to maternity care fails women, families and care providers with outdated practices that centre the needs of institutions rather than individuals. In this book, Rachel Reed weaves history, science and research with the experiences of women and care providers to create a holistic, evidence-based framework for understanding birth. Reclaiming childbirth as a rite of passage requires us to recognise that mothers own the power and expertise when it comes to birthing their babies. Whether you are a parent, care provider or educator, this book will transform how you think and feel about childbirth. Chapters Part One: The WeftThe legacy: how the legacy of herstory continues to influence the modern cultural landscape of childbirth.
