Marshall’s latest project is HerStory from Faber Music, and will appeal to a wider catchment of piano players beyond the education market, being a compilation of 30 works by female composers who thus far have not received the recognition they have deserved. But HerStory is so much more than simply another repertoire collection, as I will explain in this review. Their level comfortably traverses the range of the UK Grades from around 2 to 8, making this a collection that could accompany any player on an extended learning journey. Adult enthusiasts who want to explore the collection more freely will find much here to interest them too, comfortably manageable at upper intermediate and early advanced level. 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 The modern approach to maternity care fails women, families and care providers with outdated practices that centre the needs of institutions rather than individuals.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.

Herstory | Book by Katherine Halligan, Sarah Walsh | Official

American teenagers Mena and Zena were tired of never finding books featuring characters like them, so they started a campaign. Here are some titles they recommend. Over iedere vrouw wordt in twee bladzijden verteld over haar jeugd, volwassen leven en hoe zij het verschil maakt(e) door haar moed, hoop en visie. De tekst is aangevuld met illustraties, foto’s, oude tekeningen en de genoemde quotes. De op het eerste gezicht volle bladspiegel en het wisselende lettertypegebruik vallen niet meer op tijdens het lezen over de stuk voor stuk interessante dames.Het kleurrijke, opvallende omslag is representatief voor de vele verschillende vrouwen die er zijn. During the 1970s and 1980s, second-wave feminists saw the study of history as a male-dominated intellectual enterprise and presented "herstory" as a means of compensation. [6] The term, intended to be both serious and comic, [7] became a rallying cry used on T-shirts and buttons as well as in academia. [8] 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.

The scores themselves, in common with most Faber publications, have a rather small music font, made more challenging to read by the dazzling white paper used. As I have often said, cream paper supports visual clarity and would have been far preferable, further enhancing what is already a high-quality production. 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.On this list, you not only find some of the best American history books, on topics spanning slavery and empire, Civil War, and Indigenous histories, but also stories ranging from Asia to Africa, and everywhere in between. This list traverses continents, historical eras, the rise and fall of once-great empires, while occasionally stopping off to hone in on specific, localized events that you might never have heard of. The soft binding uses glued segments, which proved durable during the short review period; the book certainly seems more than fit for purpose. The spine is flexible, and playing a selection of pieces from different parts of the book I found that the score behaved well, staying open and flat on the music stand. Closing Thoughts Brief biographies of fifty women who have changed the world. Divided into five categories of influence: Stories • learn more about these remarkable female composers through the stories of their lives and quotes from them (or about them). Suggestions of other music to try are also given, as are the author’s personal observations.
