Mãe... Amor inexplicável. Amor infinito. Amor verdadeiro. Amor sagrado. Tantas histórias a serem contadas baseadas nesse amor. E a minha? Como a sociedade me vê através da educação dada aos meus filhos? A opinião dos meus herdeiros, eu sei: a mãe chata, que nada deixa fazer. Então serei eu, de fato, a bruxa má do Velho Oeste? A madrasta da Branca de Neve? Ao tentar buscar a resposta, percebi que não era de todo má, não, nem, entretanto, a boazinha. E a única certeza que obtive foi a de que não há mesmo uma receita, uma fórmula mágica para educar um indivíduo. Há, no entanto, conceitos de vida que permeiam qualquer cultura, em qualquer parte do mundo. E isso eu aprendi quando Jesus chegou de vez à minha vida me ofertando os frutos do espírito. E são nesses frutos que venho trabalhando diária e continuamente. São nessas diretrizes bíblicas que minha fé está firmada e confiante. Assim, tudo aquilo que fiz, faço e continuarei fazendo é para exercer, confiante, o papel mais atuante e importante que Deus me permitiu interpretar: o de ser mãe. É fácil? Não! E quem disse que seria? Que Deus nos abençoe.

Guinea-Bissau, a small country on the West Coast of Africa, had been a colony of Portugal for 500 years, and with the 1926 rise of a Portuguese fascist dictatorship, colonization of the country became both brutal and complete. In 1956 the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) was founded by Amilcar Cabral and a few country people. At first PAIGC's goal was to organize workers in the towns, hoping that through demonstrations and strikes they would convince the Portuguese to negotiate for independence. It soon became clear that this approach to independence would not work. Each demonstration was met with violence, until the 1959 massacre of fifty dockworkers holding a peaceful demonstration at Pidgiguiti. This was a turning point for PAIGC: they realized that independence could not be won without an armed struggle, one that had to be based on the mass participation of the people. This book focuses on the way in which PAIGC ideology integrated the emancipation of women into the total revolution: the way it emphasized the need for women to play an equal political, economic, and social role in both the armed struggle and the construction of a new society.

The definitive work on Lacan's theory of the feminine. With exquisite prose and penetrating insights, Colette Soler shares her theoretical and clinical expertise in this vibrant new text. She spins out seductive explications of Lacan's thought on the controversial question of sexual difference. With the subtlety that these topics deserve, she takes up Lacan's conception of woman and her relation to masochism, femininity and hysteria, love and death, and the impossible sexual relation. Following more than the usual suspects, What Lacan Said About Women also explores the mother's place in the unconscious, how Lacan understands depression, and why depressives feel unloved. Soler's analysis examines the cultural implications of the texts that Lacan produced from the 1950s to the 1970s, such as the effects of science on contemporary conceptions of the feminine. She gracefully bridges the gap still left open between psychoanalysis and cultural studies. Winner of the Prix Psyche for the best work published in the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis in 2003, this book will appeal to cultural critics, especially those in gender and women's studies, as well as to anyone involved in contemporary theory or clinical practice. This study will transform novices within the field of Lacanian theory into informed thinkers and it will substantially supplement and refine the knowledge of Lacanian veterans.
