Free Download Sheryl McDonald Werronen, "Popular Romance in Iceland: The Women, Worldviews, and Manuscript Witnesses of Nítída saga"
English | 2016 | pages: 276 | ISBN: 9089647953 | PDF | 2,8 mb
A late medieval Icelandic romance about the ‘maiden-king’ of France, Nítída saga generated interest in its day and grew in popularity in post-Reformation Iceland, yet until now it has not received the comprehensive scholarly analysis that it much deserves. Analysing this saga from a variety of perspectives, this book sheds light on the manner in which Nítída saga explores and negotiates the romance genre from an Icelandic perspective, showcasing this exciting saga’s strong female characters, worldviews, and long manuscript tradition. Beginning with Nítída saga’s manuscript context, including its reception and transformation in early modern Iceland, this study also discusses how Nítída saga was influenced by, and also later influenced, other Icelandic romances. Considering the text as literature, discussion of its unusual depiction of world geography, as well as the various characters and their relationships, provides insights into medieval Icelanders’ ideas about themselves and the world they lived in, including questions about Icelandic identity, gender, female solidarity, and the literary genre of romance itself. The book also includes a newly revised reading edition and translation of Nítída saga.

Free Download Patricia Jeffery, "Frogs in a Well: Indian Women in Purdah"
English | 2000 | pages: 207 | ISBN: 8173043000, 0905762207 | PDF | 39,9 mb
This book is a description of purdah practices and attitudes in a small Indian Muslim village near Delhi. Jeffery lived and conducted research in the village during the mid-1970s. The village was located near the shrine to Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, and the men of the village pursued their ancestral avocation of taking care of the shrine and its pilgrims. The men’s work at the shrine provided a modest yet dependable income which allowed the women to stay at home rather than go out to work. As Jeffery describes it, purdah, or the seclusion of women in the home, is an ideal that can only be realized when economic resources are sufficient.

Author: Susan Sontag
Narrator: Laurel Lefkow
A pithy and brilliant introduction to Susan Sontag’s writing on women, gathering early essays on aging, equality, beauty, sexuality, and fascism. Susan Sontag was one of the most formidable, original, and influential thinkers of the last century. "The most interesting ideas are heresies," she remarked, and indeed, her writing rejects the familiar and refuses party lines. On Women presents seven essays and exchanges, spanning a range of subjects: the challenges and humiliations women face as they age; the relationship between women’s liberation and class struggle; beauty, which Sontag calls "that over-rich brew of so many familiar opposites"; feminism; fascism; and film. Taken together, these pieces-relentlessly curious, historically precise, politically robust, and allergic to easy categorization Sontag’s inimitable mind at work.
