Gracie R: Comfort in Darkness / LF

Comfort in Darkness

There is much more women can do to protect themselves from the rougher side of life—other than kicking and punching
 Protective Offense (the focus of this book) is where self-defense meets common sense, where self-awareness, situational awareness, strategy, and problem solving coincide. Protective Offense is a new paradigm of empowerment for women who want to revel in the chess game of life, dismantle anxiety, see conflict as opportunity, and raise engaged, resilient children who won’t become victims (or criminals).
 Protective Offense is the culmination of thirty years of study in the martial arts and self-defense. It is a contribution to the overall project of equality, safety, and dynamic living for women and families. Fighting is only one tenth of self-defense, but it hoards ninety percent of the spotlight. There is so much more women can do to protect themselves. 
 Expect to learn how to:
<ul>
<li>Break down the process of violent crime</li>
<li>Stay off the criminal radar</li>
<li>Connect intimately to your intuition so you can it use without guilt</li>
<li>Recognize the signs of emotionally abusive people</li>
<li>Recognize some of the tells and tricks of violent criminals</li>
<li>Respond as early as possible&nbsp;to a confrontation by multiple attackers</li>
<li>Understand how weapons are used and what you can do if confronted by one</li>
<li>Maintain your cool and&nbsp;navigate confusion and shock under duress</li>
<li>Know which physical techniques to count on in a fight for your life</li>
<li>Know which physical techniques NOT to count on in a fight for your life</li>
<li>Grasp some of the most important legal ramifications of physically protecting yourself against violence</li>
<li>Include specific considerations of parenthood in your self-defense practice</li>
<li>Model an aware and proactive mindset for children</li>
<li>Evaluate self-defense courses&nbsp;and instructors so you can make educated decisions</li>
<li>Think about how to raise children who will never present themselves as unsuspecting victims, or victimize others, and who will act conscientiously if they see something happening</li>
<li>Help to engage and&nbsp;encourage others to reshape women’s self-defense training</li>
</ul>
As a generalization we could say women are more connected to their own mortality. Women are more aware of danger in everyday life than men are. Regardless of the reasons—our biological connection to life, that we are smaller, physically weaker, generally have less social or political power than our male counterparts, or that we are often responsible for others—we just worry about safety more often than the average guy. Ask a man how often he thinks about safety or worries about going out alone. Then ask a woman the very same questions.
 Self-defense for women is not and should not be taught the same as self-defense for men.

Protective Offense

Reimagining Women's Self-Defense

The questions posed by disability studies scholarship are increasingly of interest to medieval studies scholars and there have been a wealth of books published on the intersection of these two fields of research over the past two decades. More recently, medieval scholars have developed a framework for considering more specifically medieval ways of thinking about disability, analyzing the medieval conception of the different or 'othered' body and thinking through 'medieval things': such as the responses to injury and resulting impairment in contemporary law, literature, and art; the impaired body as a site for miraculous transformation; the presence of physical and mental difference in different cultural modes than exist in the modern world; and the role of theosophical thought in characterizing difference. This is the first volume to survey this field as a whole, bringing together the most notable scholars in the field alongside up-and-coming academics, to analyse recent studies and to suggest directions for future research. Chapters are organized into four categories that treat broadly the current questions of the field as they apply to each contributor's area of expertise: Articulations of Difference; Critical Perspectives; Traditions of Medieval Thought; and Disability and Material Cultures. Each category is introduced by a leading figure in the field, and the volume is concluded with an Afterword.

With Protective Offense

A Time of Loss

Mothers make history. But what it has meant for mothers to do the physical and emotional work of mothering has, for centuries, been neglected in the stories of the past. Patriarchal control of motherhood has relegated the acts of growing, birthing, nurturing and loving to the sidelines, and deemed it unimportant, women's work. Now, through the voices of the women themselves, Elinor Cleghorn reclaims and retells the history of motherhood, showcasing the mothers, othermothers, midwives, activists, community leaders and more who have shaped the course of history. Beginning in the ancient world, we encounter a figurine made for a childbirth ritual over three-thousand years ago. We meet extraordinary writers and poets, like Anne Bradstreet and Elizabeth Jocelin, who were expressing their innermost feelings about motherhood. During the seventeenth century, in the streets of London we encounter unmarried mothers struggling against stigma and shame, and the women who strove to help them. Later, pioneers like Mary Wollstonecraft laid the intellectual foundations for the liberation of motherhood from male control, and the abhorrent treatment of enslaved mothers was brought to public attention by courageous activists like Sojourner Truth. These and many other brave characters lobbied for mothers of all classes and circumstances to be valued, respected, and supported - not as reproductive vessels, but as people. A Woman's Work is a powerful, inspiring and ground-breaking new history for anyone who has ever mothered.
