Penguin/Viking 2001. (Uncorrected Proof) *.*.*.*.*Good. *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* Some spine and cover wear and creasing. The covers have yellowed. *.*.*.*.* *****Sally Armstrong first traveled to Afghanistan in 1997, long before the country was drawn into America's war on terror and its map featured nightly on every American television screen. Armstrong's purpose was quietly audacious: to document the abuses against women and girls perpetrated by the Taliban, which seized power in 1995. The Taliban's fundamentalist interpretation of Islam resulted in many misfortunes for women: they were barred from education and medical treatment, freedoms regarding social and personal life were severely restricted and breaches of law were punished without mercy. Armstrong wrote of these injustices in a magazine article that provoked an unprecedented reaction among its readers, who were shocked by the Taliban's dehumanization of women. VEILED THREAT documents Armstrong's return to Afghanistan as a special UNICEF representative. The terrorist attacks of September 11 turned Afghanistan into a hunting-ground for Al-Qaeda. The Taliban was ousted, replaced by a coalition government devoted-at least nominally-to democratic principles. And a sign of changing winds was the appointment of Dr. Sima Samar as deputy prime minister. She became the only woman to serve in the coalition. In the new Afghanistan, Armstrong found a society inching toward freedom and democracy. She acknowledges the literal and figurative import of the Western media's favorite image-Afghan women gleefully shedding their burqas. At the same time, she cautiously notes that the lingering influence of the Taliban is more pervasive than anyone would like to admit, and the liberation of women and girls is far from complete. But more than merely a ledger of injustice, VEILED THREAT is a testament to hope in the light of uncertainty. Armstrong convincingly demonstrates that the Koran calls for equal rights for women, and she chastises Arab regimes that have perverted the teachings of Islam for the purpose of misogyny. She also has sharp words for the international community, which knowingly turned a blind eye to the plight of Afghan women. Sobering in its revelations, VEILED THREAT chronicles acts of resistance both great and small: from Dr. Samar's rebellious decision to run underground women's hospitals and girls' schools to the stories of ordinary women who first cautiously discarded their burqas. For all of the thoughtful news coverage Afghanistan has received, no account is as committed and compassionate as Armstrong's.***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available. *.*.*.*.* Weight .275 Kg..

The covers and pages are yellowing. *.*.*.*.* Are women superior to men? This unique book aims to give woman her rightful place in history while repudiating what the author calls "2,000 years of propaganda." Drawing on science, mythology, archeology, and history, Elizabeth Gould Davis comes up with some eye-opening facts: Biologically man is a mutant of woman, the Y chromosome a stunted X . . . Ancient civilizations such as the Sumerian were matriarchal societies where women ruled and men were servants . . . The collapse of these matriarchal societies signaled the brutalization of humanity and the increasing suppression of woman . . . Woman was the first in the discovery of the arts and sciences, first in the march toward civilization, and still first, according to biologists, in physical efficiency. That women are "the first sex" is, in fact, this book's inescapable conclusion. As the introduction puts it: "The time has come to put woman back into the history books . . . to readmit her to the human race. Her contribution to civilization has been greater than man's, and man has overlooked her long enough." *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available.. (more information)

It comes out of our deep belief, as feminists, that changes are urgently required in the position of women. It also springs from our conviction, as philosophers, that the presuppositions and implications of any proposed changes need to be worked out very carefully. Finally, it is motivated by our recognition, as activists, that not only must our activity be guided by theory but our theory must be evaluated by its success in practice. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..

The covers are sum discoloured and the top portion of the front cover has some splash marks.

Robinson Crusoe and the Arabian Nights would seem lifeless and uninteresting by the side of hundreds of true and simple narratives which might be written of slave life in our Southern States. This story of "Aunt Sally" is, probably no more remarkable than multitudes of others; only it has chanced to come to notice. It is strictly true in all incidents. It has not been embellished, or wrought up for effect, but is given, as nearly as possible, in the words in which it was related to the writher. "Aunt Sally" is a veritable person, and is now living in Detroit, Michigan, with her son, Rev. Isaac Williams, who is pastor of a Methodist church there. The writer hopes that this little story may be the means of leading those who read it to think and feel deeply upon the truths which it involves, and that many more similar books may be written for our Sabbath Schools, so that the young may grow up imbued with the spirit of liberty, and rejoicing to labor for that oppressed and unhappy race which "Aunt Sally" represents, so, at length, this unfortunate people shall be slaves no longer, but shall find that, to them all, the Cross has been the Way of Freedom.
