"This reader features the most influential and insightful writings of Grace Abbott (1878-1939), a tireless and brilliant social reformer in the early twentieth century. These writings contributed to the development of social programs that safeguarded mothers and children, protected immigrants from abuse, and rescued child laborers from the appalling conditions of the time. Framed by reminiscences and observations on her life by her sister, Edith Abbott, and other important historical figures, these writings recapture a critical turning point - and a significant voice - in the never-ending struggle for social justice in this nation."--Jacket.

Rolene Miller registered Mosaic, Training, Service and Healing Centre to empower abused women, and like a Mosaic 'to put the broken pieces of their lives together and make their lives more beautiful,' Womandla! Women Power! is an account of Mosaic's Community Workers' and Court Workers' lives, training and services and Rolene's writings describing the journey. Their humour and laughter is present whilst constantly moving through the difficult days at Mosaic. This book describes Mosaic's support from our caring God. It is a human story where honest values are realised and people's lives are changed forever. It is for readers who want to know the 'Herstory' of a ground-breaking and innovative Mosaic working with abused women for 25 successful years and still surviving today. 'Womandla! Women Power!' belongs to everyone who in our patriarchal culture and society wants to prevent and stop Women Abuse and Domestic Violence and who needs to seriously and critically condemn it.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, indigenous communities in the United States and Australia suffered a common experience at the hands of state authorities: the removal of their children to institutions in the name of assimilating American Indians and protecting Aboriginal people. Although officially characterized as benevolent, these government policies often inflicted great trauma on indigenous families and ultimately served the settler nations' larger goals of consolidating control over indigenous peoples and their lands.
