Gladys grows up in a large family, convinced she is the odd one out, especially compared with pretty Rita, the sister closest to her. Then elder brother Jim invents a new game he calls the Courage Game, in which all seven of the children will be tested for their ability to keep a stiff upper lip. Little does she know, she'll recall this game years later, comparing his little hand-made badges to those handed out by the W.S.P.U., the suffragettes. The poverty of Ireland in the 1890s is capped by the terrible conditions of the Birmingham slums where she first works as a teacher. Heartsick at the hardship she sees all around her, she's driven to change it, but only the Pankhursts seem to offer any hope of a woman’s voice being heard - providing they win the right to vote, that is. Enthusiastically, Gladys throws herself in, juggling her job, her burgeoning love life and her work for the suffragettes. But how long can one woman keep walking such a line without losing her balance?

The Changing Role of Medical Students - E-Book

By: Jeni Harden,Ronald M. Harden

The changing role of the student – from consumer and client to partner in the learning process – is arguably the most important development in medical education in the past two decades. The Changing Role of Medical Students takes a comprehensive look at what this means for educators, researchers, administrators, and all stakeholders across health care education. Written by Ronald M. Harden, author of Essential Skills of the Medical Teacher and Eight Roles of the Medical Teacher, and his daughter Jeni Harden, a social scientist with extensive experience teaching both medical and social science students – this book aims to inform and inspire. From the philosophical to the pragmatic, students will better understand the multifaceted roles they can and should embrace in their own education, teachers and trainers will learn how to actively engage students in this process, and administrators will gain insights for how to review and evolve the role of students in their organisations for maximum effectiveness. - Describes the seven roles of the student as an active participant in the delivery of the education programme as: a professional; a facilitator of their own learning; an information processor; a curriculum collaborator; an assessor; a teacher; and as a scholar. - Contains short reflective narratives and anecdotes from the student perspective. - Ideal for students, teachers and trainers, curriculum evaluators and developers, faculty and admissions, as well as researchers and managers throughout the health care education system. - eBook version included with purchase. Your eBook allows you to access, electronically, all of the text, figures, and references from the book.
