Women of Courage

The Rights of Single Mothers and Their Children, Inspired by Crystal Chambers, A New Rosa Parks

By: Mary Kay Green, J.D.

The movie ́Juno ́ is up for an academy award. It is the story of a pregrent teenager who choses adoption. Her chose is not the choice of the majority of teenagers who become pregnant. Most of these pregnancies are unintended, but the majority of these young women opt to give birth to and raise their own children. Women of Courage: The Rights of Single Mothers and Their Children Inspired by Crystal Chambers a New Rosa Parks is about the Constitutional rights of non-marital or "illegitimate" children and their parents, about the right to give birth and raise your own children regardless of race ethnicity and marital status. It was inspired by Chrystal Chambers and her lawsuit against the Omaha Girls Club for pregnancy and race-sex discrimination tried in l986. Ms. Chambers case was filed under the 1978 Civil Rights Act, Title VII of the l964 Civil Rights Act prohibiting race and sex discrimination in employment and under the federal statutes prohibiting race descrimination based on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution as well as the U.S. Supreme Court decisions under 9th Amendment, the reproductive rights amendment. Ms. Chambers’ case had a role in the passage of the l991 Civil Rights Act, Section 105 (a)(2) banning the use of the business necessity defense in cases where intentional discrimination is alleged. It literally took an act of Congress to get the Omaha Girls Club to abandon their single pregnancy negative role modeling discharge policy. Commission of a felony, racial discrimination and single pregnancies were grounds for discharge under their Negative Role Modeling Policy. The Club ended the policy in the early l990´s. The case has been covered in “The Loud Voice” of the national media. In June of 2003, Ms. Chambers and her case were featured by national black syndicated morning radio talk show host Tom Joyner Show in his segment “Little Known Black Heroes.” In the winter of l986, the case was featured in the New York Times, in Newsweek, in The New York Daily News, and the magazine In These Times as well as locally in Nebraska. The case was also featured twice on National Public Radio’s ‘All Things Considered,’ and Ms. Chambers and her lawyer Mary Kay Green and others were featured on Phil Donahue’s national talk show April 4th, l986. This case has inspired the writing and publication of nearly forty law review articles, most supporting Ms. Chambers and her rights. The book also covers the Magdalene asylums in Ireland for unwed mothers, and challenges the Constitutionality of provisions of the Welfare Reform Act and the Temporary Assistance Act. The book is unique in that both Crystal Chambers and her attorney Mary Kay Green,J.D. were single mothers. Ms. Chambers married the father of her daughter Ruth in l986. She finished college summa cum laude and has lived an exemplary life. She is an excellent role model for young mothers. The majority of these young mothers eventually marry.

Another Year On The Family Farm

With More Life Lessons Learned

By: Mary Kay Schippers

It's 1970, mere months after the first man walked on the moon. The Vietnam War is raging on, drawing thousands of young American men into compulsory military service. Campus riots become commonplace, while Bridge Over Troubled Water tops the music charts. And millions of families across the nation gather around their television sets on Sunday evenings to watch what is to be the final season of the Ed Sullivan Show. For thirteen-year-old Mary Kay, life changes irrevocably when the last of her brothers and sisters marries and moves away from their Kansas family farm. As the youngest of seven, she has always been surrounded by people and noise and activity. The sudden loneliness hits hard as Mary Kay tries to adapt to her new reality. At home, her dogs Sandy and Sport and her horse Strawberry become her sole companions, as she helps her loving Mama and hard-working Daddy carry on with their never-ending farm chores. At school, Mary Kay graduates from the comforting country grade school where her oldest brother had been her teacher and now faces the challenge of high school in another town with no friends. Inspired by the discovery of an old diary, Another Year on the Family Farm continues the saga of author Mary Kay Schippers' childhood first described in A Year on the Family Farm. Like its predecessor, Another Year on the Family Farm is full of love, life, and laughter. Whether it's hanging on to a runaway horse, seeking refuge from a storm, learning to drive or falling in love, Mary Kay's coming of age stories will carry you off to a world of enjoyment for young and old alike....

Improving Instruction in Rational Numbers and Proportionality

By: Margaret Schwan Smith,Edward A. Silver,Mary Kay Stein

Helping students develop an understanding of important mathematical ideas is a persistent challenge for teachers. In this book, one of a three-volume set, well-known mathematics educators Margaret Smith, Edward A. Silver, and Mary Kay Stein provide teachers of mathematics the support they need to improve their instruction. They focus on ways to engage upper elementary, middle school, and high school students in thinking, reasoning, and problem solving to build their mathematics understanding and proficiency. The content focus of Volume One is rational numbers and proportionality. Using materials that were developed under the NSF-funded COMET (Cases of Mathematics to Enhance Teaching) program, each volume in the set features cases from urban, middle school classrooms with ethnically, racially, and linguistically diverse student populations. Each case illustrates an instructional episode in the classroom of a teacher who is implementing standards-based instruction, the teachers' perspective, including their thoughts and actions as they interact with students and with key aspects of mathematical content, cognitively challenging mathematics activities that are built around samples of authentic classroom practice., and facilitation chapters to help professional developers "teach" the cases, including specific guidelines for facilitating discussions and suggestions for connecting the ideas presented in the cases to a teacher's own practice. As a complete set, this resource provides a basis on which to build a comprehensive professional development program to improve mathematics instruction and student learning.

A Daughter's Tale

The Memoir of Winston Churchill's Youngest Child

By: Mary Soames

In this charming and intimate memoir, the youngest daughter of Winston Churchill shares stories from her remarkable life—and tells of the unbreakable bond she forged with her father through some of the most tumultuous years in British history. Through a combination of personal reminiscences and never-before-published diary entries, Mary Soames, the youngest daughter of Clementine and Winston Churchill, describes what it was like growing up as the scion of one of the lions of twentieth-century statecraft. Warm memories of a childhood spent roaming the grounds of the family’s country estate, tending to a small menagerie of pets, evoke the idyllic mood of England between the wars. As she matures into one of her father’s most trusted companions, we are given rare glimpses inside the glittering social milieu through which the Churchills moved—as well as the rough-and-tumble world of British politics. With fly-on-the-wall immediacy, Mary describes the momentous debate in Parliament where Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was driven from office, paving the way for Winston Churchill’s ascension and the grueling crucible of World War II. During the war Mary served as a gunner in the women’s auxiliary, helping to shoot down the German V-1 rockets then bedeviling London. Styling herself as Private M. Churchill to avoid publicity, she led a unique double life that comes vividly alive again in the retelling. Splitting her time between luncheons at Chequers—where she spent time with the likes of Lord Mountbatten—and the turret of an anti-aircraft battery, she was never far from the center of the action. Hitler even reportedly hatched a plan, never consummated, to hire spies to seduce her in order to gain access to secret British war plans. She attended the Potsdam Conference as her father’s aide-de-camp, arranging a memorable dinner with Harry Truman and Josef Stalin (whom she acidly remembers as “small, dapper, and rather twinkly”). And when British voters overwhelmingly turned on Winston Churchill in the 1945 election, it is left to Mary to recount the pain and devastation her father could never publicly express. The mutual love and affection between Mary Soames and her parents pours forth from every page of this elegantly written memoir. A Daughter’s Tale is both a moving personal history and a source of untold insight into one of the enduring icons of British national life.

Shakespeare's Brain

Shakespeare's Brain

Reading with Cognitive Theory

By: Mary Thomas Crane

Here Mary Thomas Crane considers the brain as a site where body and culture meet to form the subject and its expression in language. Taking Shakespeare as her case study, she boldly demonstrates the explanatory power of cognitive theory--a theory which argues that language is produced by a reciprocal interaction of body and environment, brain and culture, and which refocuses attention on the role of the author in the making of meaning. Crane reveals in Shakespeare's texts a web of structures and categories through which meaning is created. The approach yields fresh insights into a wide range of his plays, including The Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Measure for Measure, and The Tempest. ? Crane's cognitive reading traces the complex interactions of cultural and cognitive determinants of meaning as they play themselves out in Shakespeare's texts. She shows how each play centers on a word or words conveying multiple meanings (such as "act," "pinch," "pregnant," "villain and clown"), and how each cluster has been shaped by early modern ideological formations. The book also chronicles the playwright's developing response to the material conditions of subject formation in early modern England. Crane reveals that Shakespeare in his comedies first explored the social spaces within which the subject is formed, such as the home, class hierarchy, and romantic courtship. His later plays reveal a greater preoccupation with how the self is formed within the body, as the embodied mind seeks to make sense of and negotiate its physical and social environment.

He is the recipient of many awards, but his most treasured is the Choate Seal, which was first given to John F. Kennedy. The broad spectrum of Dave’s personal and business stories constantly entertains readers. Come On, America includes elements of historical relevance focusing on areas such as: the city of High Point, North Carolina; state politics as Secretary of Commerce under Governor Jim Hunt; United States ambassador involving world leaders; and a personal experience of the first international cyber-war including Estonia and Russia. A major influence in the shaping of the International Furniture Market that brings 80,000 visitors to High Point twice a year, Dave’s business acumen resulted in three of his companies being sold on the NYSE. Each new venture widened his scope of business and led him to make a beneficial difference in the city, state, national, and international sphere. He became an admired leader and successful businessman. Readers find his journey both inspirational and educational as they discover in Come On, America the qualities and traits needed to be an effective leader and a successful businessman.

Mary McCarthy: Novels 1963-1979 (LOA #291)

The Group / Birds of America / Cannibals and Missionaries

By: Mary McCarthy

A collection of three novels by the author who transformed the scope and style of twentieth-century American literature—including the landmark classic The Group In Mary McCarthy's most famous novel, The Group (1963), she depicts the lives of eight Vassar College graduates during the 1930s as they grapple with sex, sexism, money, motherhood, and family. McCarthy's final two novels—Birds of America (1971), a coming of age tale of 19-year-old Peter Levi, who travels to Europe during the 1960s, and Cannibals and Missionaries (1979), a thriller about a group of passengers taken hostage on an airplane by militant hijackers—are both concerned with the state of modern society, from the cross-currents of radical social change to the psychology of terrorism. As a special feature, this second volume contains McCarthy's 1979 essay "The Novels that Got Away," on her unfinished fiction. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing.

The 11th International Congress for Analytical Psychology was held in Paris from 28 August to 2 September 1989. It is no surprise that the theme of 'Personal and Archetypal Dynamics in the Analytical Relationship' succeeded in drawing widely varying and controversial responses. More than ever before the fifty-five contributors of papers represent Jungian groups from around the globe in every sense. However, while differences of approach are evident throughout this fascinating collection, so too is an ever more significant sense of synthesis: in the end we all share a common task.

Climate Crisis, Energy Violence

Mapping Fossil Energy's Enduring Grasp on Our Precarious Future

By: Mary Finley-Brook,Stephen Metts

Climate Crisis, Energy Violence: Mapping Fossil Energy's Enduring Grasp on Our Precarious Future communicates the breadth and scope of fossil fuel infrastructure and its global impact. Comparative research coupled with data and maps accentuates the spatial, temporal, and physical forms of energy violence. Over 25 international case studies track the world's three primary fossil fuels—first coal, followed by oil, then gas—revealing patterns of loss and damage, as well as industrial tactics of climate delay and deception used to prolong fossil fuel harms. Through analyses of hotspots, sacrifice zones, fast vs slow violence, death prints and fuel life cycles, immediate ecological damage as well as long-term climate impacts are revealed, tied directly to fossil fuel interests. In detailing the broad scope of damage from energy extraction systems, this book provides a compelling argument to move past fossil fuels, directly confronting the climate crisis through energy justice alliances. - Examines fossil fuel infrastructure across more than 25 unique global research sites - Analyzes energy violence in a theoretical yet accessible framework grounded in ecology, ethics, and human rights - Explores collective action and energy justice alliances to move past the destructive pattern of fossil fuels
