Dress and fashion are powerful visual means of communicating ideology, whether political, social or religious. From the communist values of equality, simplicity and solidarity exemplified in the Mao suit to the myriad of fashion protests of feminists such as French revolutionary women's demand to wear trousers, dress can symbolize ideological orthodoxy as well as revolt. With contributions from a wide range of international scholars, this book presents the first scholarly analysis of dress and ideology through accessible case studies.

"Un grupo de mujeres, muy distintas entre sí y que nunca se han visto antes, comparten sus historias. Natasha, su terapeuta, ha decidido reunirlas en la convicción de que las heridas empiezan a sanar cuando se rompen las cadenas del silencio. No importa el origen ni la extracción social, la edad o la profesión: todas acarrean sobre sus hombros el peso del miedo, la soledad, el deseo, las inseguridades. A veces ante un pasado que no pueden dejar atrás; otras, ante un presente que no se parece a lo que habrían deseado, o un futuro que las asusta. Madres, hijas, esposas, viudas, amantes: guiadas por Natasha, las protagonistas aceptan el desafío de comprender y reinventar sus vidas."-- Page [4] of cover.

Allen and Linda Anderson

In this thoughtful book, Allen and Linda Anderson walk you through the numbing pain and dreadful sense of loss that arise when a beloved animal dies. They offer solace to help you deal with grief, remember and honor key moments in the animal's life, find comfort through groups and with professionals, and get past the depression. They also include exercises, affirmations, and meditations to use through the various stages of grief. The Andersons' caring, practical advice covers all aspects of pet loss, offering guidance on: helping children grieve; honoring your religious beliefs; grieving for runaway pets; helping others know what to say or do to console you; planning an appropriate memorial ceremony or tribute. The book also explores the concept of after-death experiences of departed companion animals and relates many beautiful stories, including the Rainbow Bridge story, that reinforce the love and sense of peace that come from honoring the place animals hold in our lives.
