Starting from an inventory and other documents, Ann Roberts has
identified some 30 works of art that originated from the convent of
San Domenico of Pisa. She here examines those objects commissioned
for and made by the nuns during the fifteenth century; some of the
objects included have never before been published. One of her goals
in this study is to bring into the discussion of Renaissance art a
body of images that have been previously overlooked, because they
come from a non-Florentine context and because they do not fit
modern notions of the "development" of Renaissance style. She also
analyzes the function of the images - social as well as religious -
within the context of a female Dominican convent. Finally, she
offers descriptions of and documentation for the process of
patronage as it was practiced by cloistered women, and the making
of art in such enclosures. The author presents a catalogue of
works, which gives basic data and bibliography for the objects
described in the text. Roberts offers other valuable resources in
the appendices, including unpublished C19th inventories of the
objects in the convent at various moments, documents regarding the
commission of works of art for the convent, letters written by the
nuns, a list of the Prioresses of San Domenico, lists of nuns at
different points in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century, and
a list of the relics owned by the convent in the sixteenth century.
Roberts firmly grounds her interpretation in the values of the
Order to which the nuns belonged, and in the political and social
concerns of their city.

for easily managed and stored selections for popular subjects
This timely and thought-provoking collection explores the ways in
which psychological science interacts with and addresses gender
across varied subdisciplines in the field, from a feminist
viewpoint. A particular aim of this volume is to move the
conversation of gender in psychology beyond a difference-only
paradigm. Veteran and emerging feminist scholars survey the
handling of sex and gender issues across psychology, and describe
how feminist perspectives and methodologies can and should be
applied to enhance the field itself, but also in the service of
social justice in the various cultures of corporations, academia,
and the global stage. Contributions span theoretical advances,
latest empirical findings, and real-world advocacy, with
instructive and illuminating first-person accounts detailing
challenges and rewards of feminist scholarship and practice in
psychology. Throughout the volume, chapters document a dynamic
field in its evolution from the traditional, two-dimensional study
of gender-based differences to concerted multidisciplinary
approaches, to cutting edge feminist theoretical and methodological
advances such as intersectionality to understand gender in context.
The volume is divided into three distinct sections. The first
covers current theory and research in psychological science that
considers gender beyond a difference-only paradigm. Then, leading
feminist scholars reflect upon their own experiences in their
respective subdisciplines. Finally, the third section explores
innovative best practices and applications for feminist
psychological science. Highlights of the coverage: * Beyond
difference: Gender as a quality of social settings. * Adventures in
feminist health psychology: Teaching about and conducting feminist
psychological science. * Mind the thigh gap? Bringing feminist
psychological science to the masses. * Feminist psychologists and
institutional change in universities. With its stimulating
compilation of theories, research, and applications, Feminist
Perspectives On Building A Better Psychological Science of Gender
is one of the most forward-thinking and innovative treatments of
the field in recent years. It is a significant and important text
for all psychologists, women's and gender studies specialists,
social science researchers, and all those interested in using
evidence-based psychological science to create a more just and
equitable world.

Adrift for years since her partner's death and her son's
estrangement, Lenny Barclay isn't sure what she wants. Her friends
despair of cheering her up. Even making her mayor of their idyllic
Colorado mountain town doesn't awaken the Lenny they once knew. But
the arrival of the corporate planners from the Wilderness Campaign
brings back some of Lenny's fire. They already act like they own
the place, including the arrogant Sloane McHenry. Sloane is always
hunting for the complete package and she's got it in Pinedale. The
mayor is a spineless pushover, the site only holds a dilapidated
shop owned by the aforementioned mayor and Sloane has a secret
weapon that will prove useful should she meet resistance. This
project's not just about profit, either, for reasons she can't
explain-not even to herself.
From its looming above-ground cemeteries to the ghosts believed to
haunt its stately homes, New Orleans is a city deeply entwined with
death, the undead, and the supernatural. The reasons behind New
Orleans's reputation as America's most haunted city are numerous.
Its location near the mouth of the Mississippi River grants it a
liminal status between water and land, while its Old World
architecture and lush, moss-covered oak trees lend it an eerie
beauty. Complementing the city's mysterious landscape, spiritual
beliefs and practices from Native American, African, African
American, Caribbean, and European cultures mingle in a unique
ferment of the paranormal. An extremely high death rate in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and a long history of
enslavement and oppression have also produced fertile soil for
stories of the undead. Focusing on three manifestations of the
supernatural in New Orleans--Voodoo, ghosts, and vampires--Robin
Roberts argues that the paranormal gives voice to the voiceless,
including victims of racism and oppression, thus encouraging the
living not to repeat the injustices of the past.
While growing up gay isn't easy for anyone, it's especially
difficult for Kate, whose mother has a future in politics. Having a
lesbian for a daughter may jeopardize Barbara Mitchell's chances at
winning a legislative seat, but the antics of Barbara's brother,
Kate's uncle, may collapse the whole family.
Rebuilding is hard, especially when both hearth and heart have been
badly wounded. Renovating her home after an explosion occupies most
of Ari Adams' time. Her heart remains unhealed--nine months later
her former girlfriend, Molly Nelson, is still not speaking to her.
Worse of all, that wound was self-inflicted. Trying to move on, Ari
turns to private investigator Biz Stone for solace. When her best
friend Jane arrives with a disquieting story of a dead social
worker and murky motives for murder in California, Ari naturally
asks Biz to go with them. Molly, meanwhile, would do anything to
prove that Biz is a lowlife who spiked Molly's police career,
murdered a witness and most definitely stole her girlfriend.
Betrayals of more than one kind form the tightening net of danger
that surrounds Ari in this fourth installment of Ann Roberts'
critically acclaimed series.
A love story where losing may be the only way to win...
With staggering student loans to repay, CC Carlson is determined to
please her new employers. The first assignment as a real estate
lawyer is easy: deliver an eviction notice and make it clear that
it will be enforced.
She can see right away why the heir wants the charming farmhouse,
cottages and land. She delivers her notice and ultimatum and only
then realizes that the nearly 70-year-old occupant is the inspiring
creator of a series of books that had filled her childhood with
stories of love and courage.
Love and tragic secrets are part of every inch of her land, and
Vivian Battle is prepared to live up to her name, as she always
has. Her fiercely loyal tenants will also protect her. That
includes the far-too attractive Penn, also a lawyer, who is only
too happy to tell CC what she can do with her eviction
notice.
"Once upon a time, Dani O'Grady let an artist use her body as a
canvas and became an anonymous Internet legend."
As a powerful CEO who prides herself on control, she remains in the
driver's seat--except for the tattoos that cover her body, her
son's shotgun wedding to an ex-stripper and her insatiable libido
that gets her into trouble, so much so that she's been banned from
Provincetown.
Dani learns she has a sister, Olivia, who wants half of her fortune
unless Dani can convince Olivia's adopted daughter, Cat, that what
she wants is a man. But what Cat wants is Dani. Adding to her
problems is a mysterious and beautiful retailer selling very
grown-up sweets that Dani definitely wants to sample, more than
once...
And of course, they all live in Provincetown. Sure, she's got it
under control.
"From a New York wedding to the top of Pilgrim Monument, Dani is
about to get Drama with a capital D in this erotic, giddy romance
from Ann Roberts.
Respected sociology teacher Professor Diane Cole has written the
book on love. But at her 40th birthday party, a beautiful young
stranger named Ronnie surprises her with a kiss. Suddenly, Diane
finds her views on love challenged by a woman who is half her age
and brilliant in every way.
This open access handbook, the first of its kind, provides a
comprehensive and carefully curated multidisciplinary and
genre-spanning view of the state of the field of Critical
Menstruation Studies, opening up new directions in research and
advocacy. It is animated by the central question: '"what new lines
of inquiry are possible when we center our attention on menstrual
health and politics across the life course?" The chapters-diverse
in content, form and perspective-establish Critical Menstruation
Studies as a potent lens that reveals, complicates and unpacks
inequalities across biological, social, cultural and historical
dimensions. This handbook is an unmatched resource for researchers,
policy makers, practitioners, and activists new to and already
familiar with the field as it rapidly develops and expands.
