Edna and John Authors: Abigail Scott Duniway
Publisher:
Published Date: 2000
Categories: Fiction
"Duniway published Edna and John as a serialized novel in the New Northwest beginning in 1876. The novel is presented here in book form for the first time. It is the story of a married couple, Edna and John, who move to the Idaho mountains during the 1860s gold mining frenzy. This atypical western underscores women's struggles in an era when social and legal codes mainly empowered men." "Duniway was a luminary in the struggle for women's rights, and her serialized novels of the period played a significant role in the enfranchisement of women in the West. Even today, Edna and John serves to encourage readers to challenge injustice and inequality and to appreciate the courage and determination of the pioneer suffragists."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Woman's Wrongs Authors: Gail Hamilton, Mary Abigail Dodge
Publisher:
Published Date: 1868
Categories: Droits des femmes
"The well known essayist supports extending educational opportunities for women, but opposed the woman suffrage movement. She attacks the view that women are constitutionally weaker than men and limited to the domestic sphere. She calls for liberal education with open occupational opportunities. She did not believe that woman suffrage would solve the problem of economic discrimination and favored indirect political influence for women. Dodge was a teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary, later moving to Washington DC and writing under her pseudonym, Mary Abigail Dodge."--Description from Second Life Books, Inc., bookseller

Shooters Authors: Abigail A. Kohn
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Published Date: 2004-06-10
Categories: Social Science
Frequenting gun shops and shooting ranges, and devoting particular attention to those whose interest in weaponry extends beyond the casual, Abigail A. Kohn captures in finegrained and often entertaining, yet always humane, detail how gun owners actually think and feel about their guns. Through her conversations--with cowboy action shooters at a regional match, sport shooters, hunters, with shooters of all ages and races--we hear of the "savage beauty" of a beautifully crafted long gun, of the powerful historical import owners attach to their guns, of the sense of empowerment that comes with shooting skill, and the visceral thrill of discharging a dangerous weapon. Cutting through the cliches that link gun ownership with violent, criminal subcultures and portray shooters as "gun nuts" or potential terrorists, Kohn provides us with a lively and untainted portrait of American gun enthusiasts.
