Synopsis The Widow's Quest by : Kathleen L. Lodwick
"Mrs. Clara Byers, the pregnant mother of four, was widowed in June 1924 when her husband George, a Presbyterian missionary, was murdered, in a botched kidnapping, at Kachek, in the interior of Hainan Island, off the south coast of China. The murder set off an extraterritoriality incident which quickly became a conundrum in which American, British, and Chinese officials; Mrs. Byers, her friends, and relatives; and church organizations in China and America all tried to decide how to enforce American treaty rights, protect mission interests, and provide support for the Byers family. Based on American and British consular archives and those of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and members of the Hainan mission, this is the story of how Mrs. Byers and her ally, Mrs. Mabel Roys, the sole woman on the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions (BFM), successfully got the government and their church to take action."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Synopsis We Killed God: Widow, Orphan, Alien & Destitute: America by : Phylicia Entrelle
Fasten your seatbelt; Backtrack! We killed our Husband, Parent, and Benefactor. Now, accelerate slowly to the infinitesimal, sacred, scientific foundation of this entity, through eyes of MIT trained engineer, Gerald Schroeder. NASA, and NOAA will underscore those methodical principles! Don’t speed past lexicons made plain by Ancient Hebrew Research Center’s founder, Jeff A. Benner. Also, be prepared to come to a full stop upon the probability of alien visitation, hostile or friendly –– rethink thumbing your nose at the thought. On this, hear sacred scholars, Rabbi Tzvi Freeman, and Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, of “righteous memory, and anticipated Jewish Messiah. Can you imagine the Land of Liberty, –Widow, Orphan, Alien, & Destitute, displaced, scattered abroad, or even remaining here under distant rulers? We’re headed toward more clouds, earthquakes, and chaos up ahead; ––unaware? Change lanes; own up to greater than Covid–19 for ignoring the command: ––“LET MY PEOPLE GO.” Finally, look for flashing emergency caution lights herein, pointing to the prophetic warning to our Union: “ . . . progress introspectively, re–evaluate; act on past desired ascension toward greatness, before its prosperity . . . modify deeds;” . . . as global Prophet, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn admonishes; “avoid tragic repercussions dealt similar wicked nations.” Now, fasten those seatbelts; read ––go!

Synopsis Widows: North America by :
What happens whene the husband dies depends on the society, on the location of the widow in urban-rural or class terms, and on the widow's own personal resources. In some societies the woman is totally dependent upon a grown son and cannot remarry; in others, such as that in the United States, she is more dependent upon her own resouces and wishes. For some, widowhood results in a great loss of status; for others, it can mean loneliness and social isolation. Yet widowhood can mean greater social freedom for some women, a "blooming of personality. Even grief is experienced in various ways and degrees. Thus there is no such thing as a "widow type," only a great heterogenity in widowhood, as in "wifehood." Volume I analyzes the support systems and life-styles of widows in Australia, the Philippines, Korea, Iran, China, a Pacific island, India, Turkey, and Israel. Volume II : North America examines two communities in Canada, a Florida retirement community, and communities in several other locations, as well as the relative situations of homeowners, blacks, and poor ethnic populations.

Synopsis The Widows' Might by : Vivian Bruce Conger
In early American society, one’s identity was determined in large part by gender. The ways in which men and women engaged with their communities were generally not equal: married women fell under the legal control of their husbands, who handled all negotiations with the outside world, as well as many domestic interactions. The death of a husband enabled women to transcend this strict gender divide. Yet, as a widow, a woman occupied a third, liminal gender in early America, performing an unusual mix of male and female roles in both public and private life. With shrewd analysis of widows’ wills as well as prescriptive literature, court appearances, newspaper advertisements, and letters, The Widows’ Might explores how widows were portrayed in early American culture, and how widows themselves responded to their unique role. Using a comparative approach, Vivian Bruce Conger deftly analyzes how widows in colonial Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Maryland navigated their domestic, legal, economic, and community roles in early American society.
