Book Description
"In "A Southern Thanksgiving," Covington reflects on the "family dance" that is Thanksgiving in the South: "In the North they put their crazy family members in institutions, but in the South we put them in the living room for everyone to enjoy." In "My Mother's Brain," the author recounts the onset of Alzheimer's in her mother and how, with the spread of the disease, an untapped vein of love is revealed."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
This book is entitled Women Struggling in a Mans World. In the beginning, when God created the heavens and earth, man was created first. Then he made woman for man. God gave man authority over all things. Woman was made from the rib of man to work by his side as a helpmate. Woman, all over the world has been, and is yet struggling to achieve in this world. A large percent of children is raised by a single parent, with no child support, absence of a father, no high school diploma, and receiving government help. This book is about how I struggled raising my children, working four jobs, receiving no child support. There was a time when I worked at a rehab center as a lab technician. Early in the morning, I carried blood to VA hospital and worked there for eight hours, left there to cook for a woman shelter; and on weekendsfrom 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.I worked at Presbyterian Hospital. On Sunday morning, I and my children were at Sunday school. I want to let women know that they can make it. The key is that you must put all of your trust in God because he will supply all your needs. This world was made by God. Women, you dont have to stoop to low level to get food on the table, gas in your car, or clothes for your children or even be promoted to another job. Be a woman of strength, having morals, values with dignity, and virtue. I want to encourage women to have some standards for themselves. If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Book Description
'These minibiographies of women who persisted will move anyone with an avid curiosity about the world.' Publishers Weekly With a foreword by Athene Donald, Professor of Experimental Physics, University of Cambridge and Master of Churchill College. Ten Women Who Changed Science tells the moving stories of the physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions, and outlines their remarkable achievements. These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women. Their science and their lives were driven by personal tragedies and shaped by seismic world events. What drove these remarkable women to cure previously incurable diseases, disprove existing theories or discover new sources of energy? Some were rewarded with the Nobel Prize for their pioneering achievements -Madame Curie, twice - others were not and, even if they had been, many are still not the household names they should be. Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against all odds, each of these women, in a variety of ways, has helped to make the world a better place. The scientists are: Henrietta Leavitt (United States, Astronomy); Lise Meitner (Austria, Physics); Chien-Shiung Wu (United States, Physics); Marie Curie (France, Chemistry); Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (United Kingdom, Chemistry); Virginia Apgar (United States, Medicine); Gertrude Elion (United States, Medicine); Rita Levi-Montalicini (Italy, Biology); Elsie Widdowson (United Kingdom, Biology); Rachel Carson (United States, Biology).
