Women have a long history of keeping the lights burning, from tending ancient altar flames or bonfires to modern-day lighthouse keeping. Yet most of their stories are little-known. Guiding Lights includes true stories from around the world, chronicling the lives of the extraordinary women who mind the world’s storm-battered towers. From Hannah Sutton and her partner Grant, the two caretakers living alone on Tasmania’s wild Maatsuyker Island, to Karen Zacharuk, the keeper in charge of Cape Beale on Canada’s Vancouver Island, where bears, cougars and wolves roam, the lives of lighthouse women are not for the faint of heart. Stunning photographs from throughout history accompany accounts of the dramatic torching of Puysegur Point, one of NZ’s most inhospitable lighthouses; ‘haunted’ lighthouses in across the US and their tragic tales; lighthouse accidents and emergencies around the world; and two of the world’s most legendary lighthouse women: Ida Lewis (US) and Grace Darling (UK), who risked their lives to save others. The book also explores our dual perception of lighthouses: are they comforting and romantic beacons symbolizing hope and trust, or storm-lashed and forbidding towers with echoes of lonely, mad keepers? Whatever our perception, stories of women’s courage and dedication in minding the lights — then and now — continue to capture our imagination and inspire.

This book was released on 2020-02-25. Her Stories available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Since the debut of These Are My Children in 1949, the daytime television soap opera has been foundational to the history of the medium as an economic, creative, technological, social, and cultural institution. In Her Stories, Elana Levine draws on archival research and her experience as a longtime soap fan to provide an in-depth history of the daytime television soap opera as a uniquely gendered cultural form and a central force in the economic and social influence of network television. Closely observing the production, promotion, reception, and narrative strategies of the soaps, Levine examines two intersecting developments: the role soap operas have played in shaping cultural understandings of gender and the rise and fall of broadcast network television as a culture industry. In so doing, she foregrounds how soap operas have revealed changing conceptions of gender and femininity as imagined by and reflected on the television screen.

This book was released on 2017-03-18. Guiding Lights available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Many people especially Christians claim to be walking in the light of Christ, however, why is there so many things wrong in this world? With so many lights and shadows of light, how can we know which to follow? How can we know we are really serving Jesus as Lord and savior and not some other spirit which looks like Christ? Bear in mind that there are many spirits that have gone out into this world that deny the very nature of Jesus Christ. Are you really sure you are in the true light? Jesus Christ clearly said, "As long as I'm in the world I'm the light of the world." Now ask yourself which other being has ever said such powerful words? Isn't Jesus the very God of old working salvation in the midst of the earth? Guiding Lights undoubtedly will encourage and strengthen the believer in Jesus Christ to continue to walk in the light just as how He is in the light.
