Women in Shadow and Light offers an intimate glimpse of forty women?ages nineteen to ninety-five?who found the courage to triumph over trauma. Photographs combine with text to portray the essence of each woman's journey from the violence of sexual and physical abuse to transformation and healing. Jan Goff-LaFontaine's original photography exhibit, Out of the Shadows, started in rural Door County, Wisconsin, but eventually led her to subjects across the nation as she sought to complete this book. Each woman helped create her own portrait as a personal symbol of healing, often focusing on one aspect of her body she felt was most affected in the healing process.

In "Women of Shadow and Light," Mahin Sanati tells the story of Touran, whose, 65-year journey takes her from Iran to the UK and US and back again in an intensely personal quest to understand herself, her family, and her culture. Propelled by her beloved brother's devastating suicide when she is still a young girl, Touran probes the mysteries of her broken family while being plunged into the religious and social turmoil of modern Iran. Through the power of Touran's memory and imagination, Sanati gives voice to four generations of Iranian women over the last half century, in an effort to help heal those who paid the price while struggling to make a meaningful life in a country in upheaval.

Sixteen original essays on women writers from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil are gathered in this book. Each establishes the relationship between the biography of the subject and her literary production. Some of these writers, like Nobel Prize-winner Gabriela Mistral, Elena Poniatowska, and Victoria Ocampo, are well known; others are still largely undiscovered. All of them defy the limits imposed upon them by society, and all have been able to find freedom through creative imagination. All the writers included here are vitally concerned with the problems women face in Latin America. Children and mothers are the central focus of their lives and of many of their writings. These writers have participated in essential ways in the history of their respective countries and in the intellectual history of Latin America, and at the same time, their greatest contribution has been in the sharing of the private details of personal stories, their own and others. In the strong connections that many of them have had with each other, Marjorie Agosin sees a culture of sisterhood.

Quinn brings his special blend of high art aesthetic and unadulterated raunch he has become famous for to its most dramatic climax yet! "I've often been amazed at just how nasty certain otherwise dignified ladies can be, given the right circumstances and inspiration, when they are in charge," says Quinn. To prove this, he lets women friends unabashedly narrate their own accounts of outrageous sexual adventures in which they have orchestrated all of the action. Two of the stories are steamy depictions of female dominance and male submission on a level rarely, if ever, dealt with in the offerings of today's world of erotic film and literature. In the other stories, a respectable married woman takes a big new risk and discovers an insatiable desire for secret encounters and multiple partners; and watch what a young woman comes up with when she discovers the power she has over an older black man after a not-so "chance" encounter.

The secret exploded…and then, five women’s lives changed forever. Padmini is a respected and much-loved obstetrician and gynaecologist who has spent all her life living and working in Thandikudi, a remote tribal hamlet in the Palani Hills, South India. Shama teaches Women’s Studies in a well-known college in Chennai. She shares a great relationship with her mother, Padmini. Muniamma is Padmini’s trusted domestic help who knows more than she reveals. Malini, a contented homemaker, and her daughter, Dharini, still struggle to come to terms with the unexplained ‘disappearance’ of the most important person in their lives. Who is this person who knits the lives of these women? Light and Shadow traces the personal journeys of the five women as they struggle to make peace with their past and move forward.

Employing survey archaeology, excavation, ethnographic study, and multinational archival work, the Shala Valley Project uncovered the many powerful, creative ways whereby the men and women of Shala shaped their world: through dynamic, world-systemic relationships with the powers that surrounded but never fully conquered them. The Shala Valley Project presents the highlanders, the malesore, in the full complexity of their lives, while also unveiling a new, deeper history for the region--a history that reaches back to an unexpected fortified Iron Age site. Light and Shadow tells many stories. Archaeologists, historians, and students of tribes, of empires, of imperial-indigenous relations, of blood feud, of kinship, of the built landscape, of world-systems theory and sustainability science, and more, will find much here to digest. The people of Shala, to which Light and Shadow is dedicated, may serve as an example in our modern age, one in which persistent, tribal peoples still fight for their survival, and seek to preserve some degree of independence from capitalist economies bent on their incorporation.

The Power of the Feminine: Facing Shadow Evoking Light highlights women's role in global change. Authors are from Egypt, Ghana, Exile Tibet, and the United States. They discuss the dismantling of patriarchal and colonizing behaviors influencing political, economic, and religious paradigms. Colonization has caused great harm to people of color, indigenous cultures, and natural resources. Authors emphasize the need to face the human shadow. Patriarchy has suppressed women, Nature, and the power of the feminine. We have been unable to ground many of our religious and ethical ideals simply because of the suppression of the feminine-the relational archetype. Listening to the guidance of indigenous peoples is encouraged as they have maintained a stronger relationship to Nature, respecting all species throughout human evolution. Authors emphasize the need for healthier ways of living and relating in order to create a healthier future for our youth and the future of all humanity. An organization for change is presented: Face the human shadow, heal oneself, create healthier relationships from birth forward, and support the emergence of the feminine archetype in both women and men.

Whether trying a new technique, getting in some practice time, or working on a finished piece, this figure study enables artists to create their choice of model, pose, and view whenever and wherever they'd like. The latest addition to the series will help artists become proficient in incorporating chiaroscuro or light and dark lighting?a technique used by the great masters to produce drama and depth in their paintings?to define the human form. Additional expressions and body details highlighting challenging areas such as the face, hands, and feet in even greater detail augment the disc. Varieties of body types?ranging from thin to plus-size?and ethnicities are included. Poses have been carefully chosen to illustrate important effects such as foreshortening and perspective changes. With this guide, artists can achieve longer drawing sessions than they could when drawing from a model directly. While viewing from many angles and at their own pace is often impossible for artists in a studio session, it becomes as easy as putting in the disc and opening any photo. A judicious amount of photo retouching is done?not to make the models more glamorous or plastic but to remove distractions that detract from the models' essence. The PC/Mac-compatible DVD-ROM features more than 2,500 high-resolution JPEG photos providing a number of viewing options?on a computer screen, printed out, projected for a group, or via a high-definition television. Each angle of every pose may also be enlarged, enabling artists to zoom in on specific body parts to achieve a higher level of detail.

The Other Women’s Lib provides the first systematic analysis of Japanese literary feminist discourse of the 1960s—a full decade before the "women’s lib" movement emerged in Japan. It highlights the work of three well-known female fiction writers of this generation (Kono Taeko, Takahashi Takako, and Kurahashi Yumiko) for their avant-garde literary challenges to dominant models of femininity. Focusing on four tropes persistently employed by these writers to protest oppressive gender stereotypes—the disciplinary masculine gaze, feminist misogyny, "odd bodies," and female homoeroticism—Julia Bullock brings to the fore their previously unrecognized theoretical contributions to second-wave radical feminist discourse. In all of these narrative strategies, the female body is viewed as both the object and instrument of engendering. Severing the discursive connection between bodily sex and gender is thus a primary objective of the narratives and a necessary first step toward a less restrictive vision of female subjectivity in modern Japan. The Other Women’s Lib further demonstrates that this "gender trouble" was historically embedded in the socioeconomic circumstances of the high-growth economy of the 1960s, when prosperity was underwritten by an increasingly conservative gendered division of labor that sought to confine women within feminine roles. Raised during the war to be "good wives and wise mothers" yet young enough to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them by Occupation-era reforms, the authors who fueled the 1960s boom in women’s literary publication staunchly resisted normative constructions of gender, crafting narratives that exposed or subverted hegemonic discourses of femininity that relegated women to the negative pole of a binary opposition to men. Their fictional heroines are unapologetically bad wives and even worse mothers; they are often wanton, excessive, or selfish and brazenly cynical with regard to traditional love, marriage, and motherhood. The Other Women’s Lib affords a cogent and incisive analysis of these texts as feminist philosophy in fictional form, arguing persuasively for the inclusion of such literary feminist discourse in the broader history of Japanese feminist theoretical development. It will be accessible to undergraduate audiences and deeply stimulating to scholars and others interested in gender and culture in postwar Japan, Japanese women writers, or Japanese feminism.
