The gun-toting woman holds enormous symbolic significance in American culture. For over two centuries, women who pick up guns have disrupted the popular association of guns and masculinity, spurring debates about women's capabilities for violence as well as their capacity for full citizenship. In Her Best Shot, Laura Browder examines the relationship between women and guns and the ways in which the figure of the armed woman has served as a lightning rod for cultural issues. Utilizing autobiographies, advertising, journalism, novels, and political tracts, among other sources, Browder traces appearances of the armed woman across a chronological spectrum from the American Revolution to the present and an ideological spectrum ranging from the Black Panthers to right-wing militias. Among the colorful characters presented here are Deborah Sampson, who disguised herself as a man to fight in the American Revolution; Pauline Cushman, who posed as a Confederate to spy for Union forces during the Civil War; Wild West sure-shot Annie Oakley; African explorer Osa Johnson; 1930s gangsters Ma Barker and Bonnie Parker; and Patty Hearst, the hostage-turned-revolutionary-turned-victim. With her entertaining and provocative analysis, Browder demonstrates that armed women both challenge and reinforce the easy equation that links guns, manhood, and American identity.

Si hubiera podido elegir el lugar de mi nacimiento, habría elegido una sociedad de una magnitud limitada por la extensión de las facultades humanas, es decir, por la posibilidad de ser bien gobernada, y donde cada uno al cumplir suficientemente su empleo, nadie habría estado obligado de encomendar a otros las funciones que estaban a su cargo un Estado donde todos los particulares por conocerse entre ellos, no habrían podido sustraer a las miradas y al juicio del público las maniobras oscuras del vicio ni la modestia de la virtud, y donde esta buena costumbre de verse y de conocerse hace del amor a la patria el amor entre los ciudadanos, más que el amor a la tierra. Hubiera querido nacer en un país donde el soberano y el pueblo no pudiesen tener más que un solo y común interés, a fin de que todos los movimientos de la máquina no tendiesen más que al bien común lo que no pudiendo lograse a menos que el pueblo y el soberano sean una misma persona, se sigue que habría querido nacer bajo un gobierno democrático sabiamente atemperado. Habría querido vivir y morir libre, es decir, de tal manera que nadie pudiese sacudir el honorable yugo. Ese yugo saludable y suave que las cabezas más altivas llevan más dócilmente en tanto no están hechas para llevar ningún otro. Hubiera querido que nadie en el Estado hubiese podido ponerse por encima de la ley, y que nadie desde fuera hubiese podido imponer una que el Estado estuviese obligado a reconocer. Pues cualquiera que fuese la constitución de un gobierno, si se hallase un solo hombre que no estuviese sometido a la ley, todos los otros estarían necesariamente a merced de él y si hubiese un jefe nacional y otro jefe extranjero, cualquier partición de autoridad que pudiesen hacer, sería imposible que ni uno ni otro fuesen obedecidos y que el Estado estuviese bien gobernado.' Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Mutterabhängige Männer, in diesem Buch schlicht die "MaMs" genannt, meinen normalerweise, Arbeits-, Dienst- sowie Liebesleistungen einer Frau ganz selbstverständlich und ohne großen Dank entgegen nehmen zu können, fühlen sie sich in ihrer Gesellschaft doch auch nur "wie bei Mutti", die ja ebenfalls von niemandem gewürdigt wurde - und schon gar nicht von Vati! Es ist aber ein großer Fehler, wenn Männer, die eine Frau nicht zu schätzen wissen, heutzutage immer noch meinen, sich derart benehmen zu können, denn die Folge wird sein, dass sie sich ihnen über kurz oder lang entziehen wird. Derlei Probleme sind für Frauen, die zuvor noch nie mit einem solchen Mann zu tun hatten, natürlich kaum nachzuvollziehen. So kommen sie nicht auf die Idee, dass das Herumdrehen dieses Machtverhältnisses der einzige Weg aus ihrem Dilemma sein könnte. Denn woher sollen sie auch wissen, dass der Mensch, dem sie da gegenüberstehen und den sie womöglich geheiratet haben, sich hinsichtlich seiner Reife mit einem Teil seiner Person nach wie vor noch in seiner Kindheit aufhält? Und dieser Teil in ihm führt irgendwann den Kampf mit seiner Frau: "Ich oder sie!", denn nun ist er in seine nie gelebte Pubertät gekommen, nur viel zu spät - und leider auch mit der falschen Frau! Eine Frau aber, die nicht mehr ernst genommen wird, sehr wohl aber ihren Partner ernst nimmt, beginnt im Laufe der Zeit, an sich selbst zu zweifeln. Die Dominanz eines MaMs schleicht sich in einer Familie oft erst über Jahre hinweg ein. Da Frauen- und Männerarbeit in unserer Gesellschaft unterschiedlich bewertet wird, passiert es sogar oft anfänglich ganz gestandenen Frauen, dass sie aufgrund dieser Arbeitsteilung irgendwann ins Hintertreffen gelangen. Weil unzählige Frauen nicht die Zusammenhänge von klassischer Rollenverteilung und des Machtverlustes auf ihrer Seite durch einen eigentlich schwachen Mann durchblicken, realisieren sie auch nicht, warum sie sich irgendwann in einer unguten Abhängigkeit wiede

Drugs. Sex. Revolutionary violence. From its first pages, Susan Stern's memoir With the Weathermen provides a candid, first-hand look at the radical politics and the social and cultural environment of the New Left during the late 1960s. The Weathermen--a U.S.-based, revolutionary splinter group of Students for a Democratic Society--advocated the overthrow of the government and capitalism, and toward that end, carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots throughout the United States. In With the Weathermen Stern traces her involvement with this group, and her transformation from a shy, married graduate student into a go-go dancing, street-fighting "macho mama." In vivid and emotional language, she describes the attractions and difficulties of joining a collective radical group and in maintaining a position within it. Stern's memoir offers a rich description of the raw and rough social dynamics of this community, from its strict demands to "smash monogamy," to its sometimes enforced orgies, and to the demeaning character assassination that was led by the group's top members. She provides a distinctly personal and female perspective on the destructive social functionality and frequently contradictory attitudes toward gender roles and women's rights within the New Left. Laura Browder's masterful introduction situates Stern's memoir in its historical context, examines the circumstances of its writing and publication, and describes the book's somewhat controversial reception by the public and critics alike.

Summary somehow denotes that there is an end. This should only be the beginning. Depth Without Water should stimulate thought and cause the reader to produce positive thoughts and/or add on to their already-positive thoughts, that will in turn become positive actions. Depth Without Water is about the substance in the little things that we all have a tendency of taking for granted. The intensity of expression is a testament to how serious the so-called small things end up being. Of course this is only my take on the issues. If you disagree, please let me know. If you agree, then show the world your appreciation!

Carl Maxey was, in his own words, “a guy who started from scratch - black scratch.” He was sent, at age five, to the scandal-ridden Spokane Children's Home and then kicked out at age eleven with the only other “colored” orphan. Yet Maxey managed to make a national name for himself, first as an NCAA championship boxer at Gonzaga University, and then as eastern Washington's first prominent black lawyer and a renowned civil rights attorney who always fought for the underdog. During the tumultuous civil rights and Vietnam War eras, Carl Maxey fought to break down color barriers in his hometown of Spokane and throughout the nation. As a defense lawyer, he made national headlines working on lurid murder cases and war-protest trials, including the notorious Seattle Seven trial. He even took his commitment to justice and antiwar causes to the political arena, running for the U.S. Senate against powerhouse senator Henry M. Jackson. In Carl Maxey: A Fighting Life, Jim Kershner explores the sources of Maxey's passions as well as the price he ultimately paid for his struggles. The result is a moving portrait of a man called a “Type-A Gandhi” by the New York Times, whose own personal misfortune spurred his lifelong, tireless crusade against injustice.
