Book Description
The relationship of the Strange Woman and Woman Wisdom, separate but inseparable in Proverbs 1-9, is the book's analytic starting point, becoming a hermeneutical lens for viewing other texts of strangeness-of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and cultic activity. Wisdom and strangeness mark the narratives of Samson and Solomon, while priestly literature sets strangeness against holiness. Miriam and Dinah, sisters of cultic eponyms Aaron and Levi, are Israelite women defiled or unclean, made strange. Priestly and wisdom constructions of gendered strangeness intersect, illuminating the ideologies of identity that develop in the postexilic period and that shape the beginnings of the biblical canon. >

Book Description
Exotic, seductive, and doomed: the antebellum mixed-race free woman of color has long operated as a metaphor for New Orleans. Commonly known as a "quadroon," she and the city she represents rest irretrievably condemned in the popular historical imagination by the linked sins of slavery and interracial sex. However, as Emily Clark shows, the rich archives of New Orleans tell a different story. Free women of color with ancestral roots in New Orleans were as likely to marry in the 1820s as white women. And marriage, not concubinage, was the basis of their family structure. In The Strange History of the American Quadroon, Clark investigates how the narrative of the erotic colored mistress became an elaborate literary and commercial trope, persisting as a symbol that long outlived the political and cultural purposes for which it had been created. Untangling myth and memory, she presents a dramatically new and nuanced understanding of the myths and realities of New Orleans's free women of color.

Book Description
"Daniel Randolph Deal is a Southern aristocrat, having the required bloodline, but little of the nobility. A man resistant to the folly of ethics, he prefers a selective, self-indulgent morality. He is a confessed hedonist, albeit responsibly so."--Back cover

Book Description
In 1963, Betty Friedan unleashed a storm of controversy with her bestselling book, The Feminine Mystique. Hundreds of women wrote to her to say that the book had transformed, even saved, their lives. Nearly half a century later, many women still recall where they were when they first read it. In A Strange Stirring, historian Stephanie Coontz examines the dawn of the 1960s, when the sexual revolution had barely begun, newspapers advertised for "perky, attractive gal typists," but married women were told to stay home, and husbands controlled almost every aspect of family life. Based on exhaustive research and interviews, and challenging both conservative and liberal myths about Friedan, A Strange Stirring brilliantly illuminates how a generation of women came to realize that their dissatisfaction with domestic life didn't't reflect their personal weakness but rather a social and political injustice.

Book Description
Women all over the world are awakening to one global pandemonium - 'The Strange Woman'.Strange women have become an affliction that is rapidly plaguing marriages and giving the enemy legal grounds to drain God's blessings out of homes.The best way to fight your enemy is to first identify, understand and then kill it from its roots.This book is a weapon in the hands of women and wives to enlighten their eyes of understanding, that they may know how to stop external affairs of disorderliness in their marriages and cast out the strange woman.The Strange Woman is not a new concept; as a matter of fact, she has been around since the beginning of time and the devil has being using 'strange women' to fight against marriages for centuries.Satan used the strange woman Hagar to manipulate and almost cut off Abraham from God's purpose for his life - but the mercy of God intercepted and delivered Abraham with his wife Sarah, and their promise, posterity & prosperity was preserved to the glory of God.Polygamy was packaged by the enemy to be acceptable and that was the beginning of onslaughts against God's ordained holy union of marriage.God's purpose for marriage has always been between one man and one woman: however through the unsatiable desires of human nature, mankind had given into their lust and slowly drifted out of that design for various reasons.While polygamy may not be a popular culture right now as it was back in time; things like having a side chick, the other woman, office flings, shameless flirtatious behaviours, estranged entanglements, unwedded baby mothers, an emotional/physical affair with the stunning secretary at the workplace is becoming more and more prevalent in our time - and it's all part of Satan's schemes to make man unruly and polygamous. It is for this basis we must aim to understand the devil's reasons for pushing polygamy so ferociously upon mankind and creating apparent upheaval through this.God's intention was made very clear in the garden of Eden - and that was for one man and one woman to be together in a monogamous relationship leading to marriage and carry out his divine plan for their lives by the two of them becoming one flesh, one soul and one heart.A man who becomes one flesh with more than one woman is walking in error and will reap nothing short of confusion, disturbances and all works of evil.The strange woman is the bond woman, who comes to kill, steal and destroy and if allowed to continue will spawn havoc, distress and agony.The best way to deal with the strange woman is to send her away from your marriage.Are you tired of the strange woman harassing your home and desecrating your marital vows?Are you fed up of having to deal with the arrogance and disrespect of the strange woman towards your marriage?Are you ready to put the strange woman in her place?Do you desire for your marriage to be restored to God's original design?Do you want to understand and conquer your enemy?Are you sincerely willing to fight for your marriage and stand in the gap?Do you hope to gain knowledge and understanding on the schemes Satan is using against marriages?Do you want to be equipped with adequate spiritual warfare strategies for your marriage?Do you want to stop the strange woman before she stops you?Are you ready to serve the strange woman with a divine restraining order?Then open this book and begin to learn how to fight back, for it written "from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence & the violent (the spiritually aggressive, the one who lays up godly fear, wisdom, knowledge and understanding in their hearts, the one who refuses to give up) takes it by force!
