In cultures all over the globe, sex and gender issues have been expressed in proverbs, the world's smallest literary genre. This fascinating book provides revealing insights into the female condition across centuries and continents, as recorded in thousands of vivid and earthy proverbs about women. Mineke Schipper analyses similarities, differences, and contradictions in the cultural norms about gender expressed in thousands of proverbs she has found from over 150 countries. Grouping the sayings into such categories as the female body, love, sex, childbirth, and female power, she finds shared patterns in ideas about women (and how men see them). Part cross-cultural study, part literary criticism, and part anthology, her book is a unique and intriguing resource to dip into again and again.

Spanish cultural studies are still in their infancy and to date there has been little interdisciplinary work. Spanish Cultural Studies: An Introduction maps out the new terrain, taking into account the major changes which have been taking place in the context of Spanish Studies in both secondary and higher education. The focus is now upon a broader range of cultural forms, so this book adopts an interdisciplinary approach in its wide-ranging study of twentieth-century Spanish culture and society, emphasizing recent and contemporary developments.

What’s hotter than a fur coat in Marfa? It’s Texas Women: Trailblazers, Shining Stars & Cowgirls that’s what! Martana, a sixth-generation Texan, has lassoed many of Texas’ top women to portray the charm, beauty, business-savvy and wit of a Texas cowgirl! The gals showcased in these pages are each leaders in their own right, representing the past, the present and the future of the great Lone Star state. Texas Women hits the road with a foreword written by U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, from the rough-and-tumble political arena who introduces ladies like Carolyn Farb, a pillar on the Houston fundraising and social scene; Rebecca Rather, of Rather Sweet Bakery Hill Country fame, who tells how to make Texas Big Hair Tarts; and the First Lady of Texas, Anita Perry, who invites you to join her in opening new doors for all women as she did by developing the Texas Conference for Women. Whether they are being raucous and rowdy or graceful and elegant, these Texas Women know what it means to "dance with the one that brung ya" or how to whip up a blue-ribbon dish for company. Designing Texas host Jocelyn White brags about her perfect fudge brownies (the recipe is in the book!). There’s another Texas Woman featured who has hair so big it was actually written up in The Wall Street Journal! And Southwest Airlines’ President and COO Colleen Barrett, who is one of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, gives away her secret to success! Each Texas lady reveals her stories of success and tribulation through personal interviews, which are pardnered with striking photography that will inspire you to embrace the true grit of Texas’ trailblazers, shining stars and cowgirls! The icing on the cake is a "Tall Texas Tale" told by one of the ladies’ favorite pals. Jerry Jones, the man who owns America's Team--the Dallas Cowboys--tells a tale on a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader icon, and Chuck Norris (Walker, Texas Ranger) dishes double on a Dallas socialite. For the single men out there looking for a cowgirl to rub belt buckles with on the dance floor, you can find out about some of Texas’ most eligible bachelorettes as they describe their "ultimate Texas date." Dallas debutante Kim Schlegel talks about how her favorite date begins with an invitation to a great charity ball and ends with crème brulee at The Mansion on Turtle Creek. Think your special girl should have been included in the pages of Texas Women? Celebrate your "Favorite Texas Woman" in her own double-page spread. Just add her photo, a profile and write up a "Tall Texas Tale"—she instantly becomes a Yellow Rose! Texas Women is the ultimate conversation piece for your next shindig. Who wouldn’t enjoy reading about a bevy of beautiful and talented Texas ladies? Texas Women: Trailblazers, Rising Stars & Cowgirls is just a Texas two-step away!
