Free Download Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves as We Are by Hillary L. McBride, Ramani Durvasula – foreword, Tiffany Morgan

Discover why women are so often unhappy with their appearance – and how they can learn to love themselves. When women are told that what is important about us is how we look, it becomes increasingly difficult for us to feel comfortable with our appearance and how we feel about our bodies. We are told, over and over – if we just lost weight, fit into those old jeans, or into a new smaller pair – we will be happier and feel better about ourselves. The truth is, so many women despise their appearance, weight, and shape, that experts who study women’s body image now consider this feeling to be normal.
But it does not have to be that way. It is possible for us as women to love ourselves, our bodies, as we are. We need a new story about what it means to be a woman in this world. Based on her original research, Hillary L. McBride shares the true stories of young women, and their mothers, and provides unique insights into how our relationships with our bodies are shaped by what we see around us and the specific things we can do to have healthier relationships with our appearance, and all the other parts of ourselves that make us women.
In Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image, McBride tells her own story of recovery from an eating disorder, and how her struggles led her to dream of a new vision for womanhood – from one without body shame, negative comparisons, or insecurities, to one of freedom, connection, and acceptance.

Free Download Gwen Tarbox, "The Clubwomen’s Daughters: Collectivist Impulses in Progressive-era Girl’s Fiction, 1890-1940"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0815335377, 1138883433 | EPUB | pages: 174 | 2.4 mb
The author provides an interdisciplinary cultural study of the evolution of Progressive-era girls’ peer groups, their representation in popular girls’ fiction, and the influence of these communities, both real and fictional, upon young women’s lives during the years leading up to the Second World War. The writers featured in this volume were the first generation of New Women, whose ability to enter traditionally male spaces such as the college campus, the playing field, the wilderness, and the office was facilitated by their membership in women’s clubs, political and religious organizations, and athletic teams. Eager to promote the idea that same-sex group activities would lead to female empowerment, these clubwomen targeted young girls as their intended audience and developed an idealized fictional portrait of female cooperation that girls could replicate in their own lives. By adding to our knowledge of girls’ cultural history, the author gives voice to a segment of the population that was, and still is, at the center of society’s debates concerning the appropriate roles for girls and women. Authors discussed include Louisa May Alcott, Emma Dunham Kelley, Laura Lee Hope (psuedonym for Lilian Garis), Carolyn Keene (pseudonym for Mildred Wirt Benson), and Margaret Sutton.

Author: Douglas Boyd
Narrator: Gareth Richards
A unique look at the lives of two daughters that highlights the dichotomy of lives of royal women, as both daughters and mothers of kings, who also knew both prison and power. The names of few medieval monarchs and their queens are better known than Eleanor of Aquitaine, uniquely queen of France and queen of England, and her second husband Henry II. Although academically labeled "medieval," their era was the violent transition from the Dark Ages, when countries’ borders were defined with fire and sword.
