Horse Dreams: The Meaning of Horses in Women's Lives by Fook Jan (English) Paper

Description: Horse Dreams by Fook Jan, Klein Renate, Hawthorne Susan Horses and women have always shared a bond. Companionship, a sense of power and mythic devotion inspire these relationships. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Horses and women have always shared a bond. Why else do little girls plaster their schoolbooks with pony pictures? Why do women spend weekends devotedly mucking out paddocks? Or willingly go out in public wearing tight, unforgiving, pale jodhpurs? How is it that otherwise fastidious females cheerfully fill their cars with hay, their nails with dirt and their boots with mud, while turning out gleaming horses, with barely a tail-hair out of place? It seems that in days when urban sprawl is overtaking paddocks and trails, and country life seems so far away, little girls (and big ones!) still dream of horses. Author Biography Jan Fook was born and raised in Sydney and discovered the love of dogs at an early age. In addition to pursuing a career as an academic, she has always had dogs in her home life. She has a firm belief that the vital role dogs play in our happiness is yet to be fully recognized. In the future, Jan hopes to be able to combine her two greatest loves, dogs and writing. In the meantime she is Professor of Social Work at La Trobe University, Bendigo and the author/editor of numerous books including: Transforming Social Work Practice; Breakthroughs in Practice; Radical Casework; Professional Expertise; Critical Social Work in Changing Contexts; and The Reflective Researcher. Renate Klein admits that the joys of dog companionship came to her after establishing herself as a writer and academic. She has been Associate Professor of Womens Studies at Deakin University, Melbourne and the author/editor of numerous well know books includes Test Tube Women; Theories of Womens Studies (with Gloria Bowles); Man-Made Women; Infertility; Radically Speaking (with Diane Bell); Radical Voices; CyberFeminism and a number of other anthologies. She says of herself that she still cares passionately about social justice for women, particularly in the area of reproductive and cyber technologies, but her dog, River makes her laugh and cry much more these days and experience pure joie de vivre. Susan Hawthorne is the author of six collections of poetry including Bird, The Butterfly Effect, Unsettling the Land, Earths Breath and Cow. She has worked in the publishing industry for twenty-five years and is also known as an aerialist. Two books, Bird and Earths Breath have been broadcast on the radio program, Poetica.
