Talking Leadership presents a though-provoking look at differences and commonalities in the lives and leadership approaches of some of today's outstanding women in areas ranging from philanthropy to politics, and from business to academia. Regardless of their backgrounds and areas of expertise, these women are committed to social change--change that includes improving women's lives and options.  Well beyond personal details and entertaining anecdotes, these conversations capture a variety of fascinating experiences and insights reflecting what it is like to be a woman and a major leader in America at the close of the twentieth century. Many of these women hold positions in which womanhood sets them apart--not infrequently in uncomfortable ways. Talking Leadership gives testimony not only to how far women have come, but also how far they still have to go to claim their places as leaders.

"Are you fearful for our future? Read Leading the Way and be inspired. The twenty-one activists you meet in this book are perfectly attuned to the sense of responsibility and complex consciousness required to be an ethical citizen today." -Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, authors of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future "Trigg's collection provides rich evidence that feminist praxis is alive and well among a new generation of feminists." -Nancy A. Naples, author of Feminism and Method: Ethnography, Discourse, and Activist Research Leading the Way is a collection of personal essays written by twenty-one young, hopeful American women who describe their work, activism, leadership, and efforts to change the world. It responds to critical portrayals of this generation of "twenty-somethings" as being disengaged and apathetic about politics, social problems, and civic causes. Bringing together graduates of a women's leadership certificate program at Rutgers University's Institute for Women's Leadership, these essays provide a contrasting picture to assumptions about the current death of feminism, the rise of selfishness and individualism, and the disaffected Millennium Generation. Reflecting on a critical juncture in their lives-the years during college and the beginning of careers or graduate studies-the contributors' voices demonstrate the ways that diverse, young, educated women in the United States are embodying and formulating new models of leadership, at the same time as they are finding their own professional paths, ways of being, and places in the world. They reflect on controversial issues such as gay marriage, gender, racial profiling, war, immigration, poverty, urban education, and health care reform in a post-9/11 era. Leading the Way introduces readers to young women who are being prepared and empowered to assume leadership roles with men in all public arenas, and to accept equal responsibility for making positive social change in the twenty-first century. Mary K. Trigg is an associate professor in the department of women's and gender studies and director of leadership programs and research at the Institute for Women's Leadership, Rutgers University.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Altere Deutsche Literatur, Mediavistik, Note: 1,3, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg (Germanistisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar: Heinrich von Veldeke: Eneasroman, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Heinrich von Veldeke, einer der herausragenden volkssprachigen Dichter der mittelhochdeutschen Literaturzeit, wird in der Forschung als Begrunder des neuen hofischen Romans genannt. Diese Bezeichnung verdient er dank seinem Eneasroman" (um 1190 fertig gestellt), da er der erste Dichter ist, der das antike Epos dem hofischen Publikum in deutscher Sprache prasentiert. Veldekes Eneasroman" ist keine wortliche Ubersetzung von Vergils Aeneis," sondern eine bearbeitete Wiedergabe des altfranzosischen Roman d'Eneas" (um 1160 entstanden), der seinerseits auf Vergil zuruckweist. Obwohl die Fabel und die wesentlichen Etappen der romischen Eposhandlung in die mittelalterliche Romane ubernommen worden sind, unterscheiden sie sich vom antiken Werk sowohl in stilistischer, als auch in inhaltlicher Sicht. Die Akzente werden verschoben und die Charaktere umgestaltet. Die Macht der Gotter, die das Leben der Protagonisten in Vergils Aeneis" lenken, wird abgeschwacht, die Unterweltfahrt des Trojaners wird gekurzt und stark verandert, die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Lavinia und Eneas wird ins Werk eingefuhrt. Alle drei Autoren folgen dem Geist ihrer Zeit und wollen mit ihren Werken das Publikum sowohl erfreuen, als auch erziehen. Im Unterschied zu der antiken Vorlage, wird in den mittelalterlichen Adaptionen mehr Akzent auf die Minnehandlungen gelegt. Die Macht der Minne wird am Beispiel der Dido- und Lavinia-Geschichte gezeigt, indem ihre Wirkung auf das Denken, Handeln und insgesamt auf das Leben der Personen explizit betont wird. Liebe ist in den Romanen der Dichter des 12. Jahrhunderts eine treibende Kraft, die das Dasein der Protagonisten bestimmt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll am Beispiel der Darstellung de
