All the Single Ladies by Rebecca Traister | Summary & Analysis Preview: All the Single Ladies is an examination of the role of marriage in the lives of women in the United States today and a historical accounting of how the institution arrived at its current juncture. Following an academic investigation into the state of marriages for American women in the past, Traister describes the ways women are reclaiming the institution on their own terms—or avoiding it altogether. For centuries, the history of marriage has been a tale of female subjugation. Forced into marriages at an early age, women forfeited virtually all of their rights: to education, to work, and even to legal personhood as an individual entity apart from their husbands. Throughout history, it was rare for women to avoid the inevitability of marriage and, in most cases, motherhood. However, some managed to do so thanks to unique and unusual circumstances. Queen Elizabeth I is a famous example… PLEASE NOTE: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.

Out of the Mouth of Babes: A Family’s Ultimate Challenge REVIVED is a fictional story about a couple that met in high school and became sweethearts. They were a very strong-willed, compassionate couple that came from families with extremely strong, moral backgrounds. Their families weren’t by any means rich in substance; however, they were rich with love, joy, peace, and all the things that mattered in life. After dating for a few years, they made a mutual decision to get married and through their union, they were blessed with four awesome children. They weren’t any different than the average children their age. All of them had their own unique personalities. One of the children was totally an exception to the rule, she was truly a babe. A babe is described as a very young child or even a native couple. But this couple was certain this child had a sense of “being here before.” She truly was wise beyond her years and was truly in a class all by herself. She was more advanced than her peers. How many times as adults have, we ignored a child because we classified them as a talker or presumed whatever they had on their minds was unimportant or silly? Or perhaps we were too busy doing our own thing to take a few minutes to listen. Regardless of our age, race, creed, or color, we were all created equal. Children shouldn’t be considered insufficient, little mouth pieces because they have lots of things on their minds. When these children spoke, their parents paid close attention to every word that proceeded out of their mouths. However, they were flabbergasted to hear such wisdom and knowledge flowing out of the mouth of this little babe. She was extremely outspoken, bold, and quite a visionary as you will soon see.

Religion, Gender, and Wellbeing in Africa argues that religion and spirituality continue to occupy a central position in the relational and social experiences of many Africans and, as such, it is within a religio-spiritual framework that ideas and practices related to most African women and their wellbeing are interpreted and formulated.
