Paperback. Condition: Good. Mary's Vision inquires whether an enlightened woman such as Mary Magdalene could achieve her goal of teaching about Jesus, and in the process advance gender equality, in a society where attempting this might result in imprisonment or death.Who was Mary Magdalene?'' has been debated for 2,000 years and yet remains unresolved. We know this enigmatic follower of Jesus was neither his wife nor a prostitute, but then who was she? Mary's Vision offers readers a plausible and inspiring life story of this fascinating but often misrepresented protegee of Jesus of Nazareth.This foremost female disciple of Jesus would want to tell others about him, but how could this be possible since women were forbidden to teach? An early proponent of gender equality, Mary Magdalene felt determined to inform others about Jesus regardless of the consequences.Throughout Mary's Vision, Dr. Pryde thoughtfully presents what Mary Magdalene's life might have been like in paternalistic first-century Palestine, and what might have happened had she tried to achieve personal fulfillment and gender equality in such an unforgiving male-dominated society.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Sarah McBride is on a mission to fight for transgender rights around the world. But before she was a prominent activist, and before she became the first transgender person to speak at the Democratic National Convention in 2016, she was a teenager struggling with her identity. With emotional depth and unparalleled honesty, Sarah shares her personal struggle with gender identity, coming out to her supportive but distraught parents, and finding her way as a woman. She inspires readers with her barrier-breaking political journey that took her, in just four years, from a frightened, closeted college student to one of the nation's most prominent transgender activists walking the halls of the White House, passing laws, and addressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election. She also details the heartbreaking romance with her first love and future husband Andy, a trans man and activist, who passed away from cancer in 2014 just days after they were married. Sarah's story of identity, love, and tragic loss serves as a powerful entry point for readers who want to gain a deeper understanding of gender identity and what it means to be openly transgender. From issues like bathroom access to healthcare, identification and schools, Sarah weaves the important political milestones, cultural and political debates, and historical context into a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds. Tomorrow Will Be Different highlights Sarah's work as an activist and the key issues at the forefront of the fight for trans equality, providing a call-to-arms and empowering look at the road ahead.

In a cultural climate where women can seemingly have it all, why do so many successful professional women-lawyers, financial managers, teachers, engineers, and others-give up their careers after having children and become stay-at-home mothers? How do they feel about their decision and what do their stories tell us about contemporary society? Heading Home reveals the stark gap between the promise of gender equality and women's experience of continued injustice. It draws on in-depth, personal, and profoundly ambivalent interviews with highly educated London women who left paid employment to take care of their children while their husbands continued to work in high-powered jobs. Equipped with the language of feminism, the women Shani Orgad interviews clearly identify the structural forces that produce and maintain gender inequality. Yet they still struggle to articulate their decisions outside the narrow cultural ideals that devalue motherhood and individualize success and failure. Orgad juxtaposes these stories with media and policy depictions of women, work, and family, detailing how these women continue to interpret and judge themselves according to the ideals that are failing them. …
