Powerful Occupational Therapists examines the life and times of a
small group of occupational therapy leaders and scholars in a
post-1950s America, to market their profession as one of increasing
importance. Participating in the 1950s rehabilitation, the 1960s
equal rights, and the 1970s women's movements, these innovators,
being primarily women, aimed to define themselves as having
professional and scientific authority that was distinct from the
male-dominated medical model. The community of therapists faced
challenges such as that of retaining the appearance of being
"ladylike" whilst doing "unladylike" tasks. This book describes the
personal experiences of 12 differing occupational therapists and it
identifies how a group of them strengthened and developed the
profession in the face of diverse challenges. This volume would be
of interest to those studying occupational therapy, women and
medicine and the history of medicine. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Occupational Therapy in Mental
Health.
The history of women in Wales and Scotland is in a thriving infancy compared to England. This book draws on this work to examine the significance of contrasting social, economic and religious conditions in shaping the lives of women in Britain. Although gender assumptions were broadly similar, female experience varied. Changes in clanship and inheritance, the employment of single women, the punishment of pregnant brides and scolds, the introduction of Protestantism, and the fusion of fairy beliefs with ideas of demonological witchcraft all contributed to the diversity of women's lives in Britain.
Offering a new interpretation of the transition from Catholicism to Protestantism in the English Reformation, this book explores its implications for an understanding of women and gender. It asserts that late medieval Christocentric piety shaped the nature of the Reformation, and reasseses assumptions that the "loss" of the Virgin Mary and the saints was detrimental to women. In defining the representative frail Christian as a woman devoted to Christ, the Reformation could not be an alien environment for women, while the Christocentric tradition encouraged the questioning of gender stereotypes.

This 2003 book offers an interpretation of the transition from
Catholicism to Protestantism in the English Reformation, and
explores its implications for an understanding of women and gender.
Central to this is an appreciation of the significance of medieval
Christocentric piety in offering a bridge to the Reformation, and
in shaping the nature of Protestantism in the period up to the
Civil War. Not only does this explain much of the support for
Protestantism, but it also suggests the need to question
assumptions that the 'loss' of the Virgin Mary and the saints was
detrimental to women. The Reformation undermined the ritual role of
the Catholic godly woman but its definition of the representative
frail Christian as a woman devoted to Christ meant that it was not
an alien environment for the weaker sex. The Christocentric piety
of the late medieval parish shaped the Reformation and paved the
way for a more subtle understanding of gender.

Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Stairs are the most important vertical circulation element. They
shape the space and give the entire design a unique character.
However, the requirements when planning stairs are high and vary
enormously depending on the multitude of building tasks and
materials. Practice Stairs orders all stair types by design and
construction typologies. In addition, a planning guide explains the
various stair parts, building elements, construction types as well
as materials. Finally, an example part with especially appealing
realised projects invites you to draw inspiration for your own
practice.
