The French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi drew on many sources for his creation of the Statue of Liberty, gifted by France to the USA and erected on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, the construction completed in 1886. In his research, Bartholdi visited the USA and came to understand the status of women and their reverence in Native American societies. This is a subject dear to the hearts of Dr Robert Hieronimus and Laura Cortner, long-time associates in alternative radio and authorship (see The United Symbolism of America, 15/05). The authors reveal that when Native American leaders were in peace negotiations with European settlers, they asked "Where are your women?" They already had a goddess culture, and its symbolism along with that of Neolithic, Greek, Roman, British and other models inspired the sculptor to create a Lady Liberty to personify America and her destiny. In fact, in the early days of the colony an American goddess was emerging in public art. The Statue served to embrace the nation and provide a conscience, and its symbolism was taken up by women's suffrage activists and the later feminist movement. This captivating book, with a wealth of archival material, restates the importance of women and their intrinsic roles in peacekeeping, nurturing and environmental stewardship--roles that need to be shared between the sexes.

"The beginning of our twenty-first century is marked by many breaks that affect our social, economic, cultural, and political organizations. The globalization of trade and the global development of information networks have drastically change our relationships with multiple technologies. Increasingly indispensable in our daily actions, they generate opposing feelings from the most basic rejection to unconditional adherence. This book, by the richness of contributions from leading international experts, lays the foundation of an appropriate place for technology education in all our educational systems." Jacques Ginestie, Director, ESPE Aix-Marseille, Aix-Marseille Université, France

"Dakers has brought together a collection of essays that are thought-provoking and invite educators to rethink the idea of technological literacy. This concept has been read in a positivist manner for too long, and Dakers makes a plea for looking at it more critically. This voice should be heard by all who are involved in the (further) development of technology-related education." - Marc de Vries, Professor of Reformational Philosophy, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands

"Ours is a fully textured technological world and Dakers does an inspiring job helping us become technologically literate. Moreover, the speed withwhich technologies change calls for a running frontier, well exemplified here." - Don Ihde, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Stony Brook University, USA

&ldquo;Essential reading. These women&rsquo;s stories compel us to recognize their humanity, tenacity, and value as people, and reveal a hidden and heart-wrenching reality.&rdquo; &mdash;Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black &ldquo;Inside This Place, Not of It is precisely the kind of book we need now. In reading these narratives&mdash;so skillfully assembled, and with the accompanying statistics and data which let readers see how America and its states are complicit in taking away lives and dignity from so many women&mdash;what stands out is the poignant sense of abandonment and sadness that changed their lives from childhood, and the astonishing strength and perseverance that let them survive in prison. I will never forget these women, or this book.&rdquo; &mdash;Susan Straight, author of Take One Candle Light A Room &ldquo;I am passionately, ardently grateful for the existence of this book. How else would I have ever heard the voices of these women? Where would I gain insight or understanding of the lives they describe: harrowing, riveting, rife with misogyny, and utterly unacceptable in a country that values human rights.&rdquo; &mdash;Peggy Orenstein, author of Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture &ldquo;This is an incredibly important, urgently readable book. I stayed up all night with these forgotten women, who have encountered, in present-day America, levels of cruelty and humiliation that have somehow not undercut their ability to express themselves with verve and grace and dignity.&rdquo; &mdash;Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers
