FANTASTIC #2
This is a P.S.

Battered & Bruised, should be required reading in every college and university in the country that have or DO NOt have Women and Gender Studies.

FANTASTIC
Just got the book out of the library last night and I'm nearly 1/3 through it.It is wonderful.In reading the bible, I could never understand how such vile and derogatory outpourings against the few women they wrote aboutcould have been so well hidden.Women seem to make up the baulk ofreligious worshipers and yet not a kind word is directed at them.

Arthur Ide has my deepest appreciation for stating out right what hasbeen so cleverly distorted regarding the reality of women in theOT.

Thank you.

shocking !
Arthur Frederick Ide work should be available in school reading lists. I did not know what to expect until I realized that with the bible in hand you can check every footnote and discover that what he says is true. Thebible is written as a rabid assault on female sexuality and women ingeneral.Especially note worthy are the comments regarding foreign women, racism is rife a long side hypocrisy and gang rapes.Ide writes well andoffers up some thought provoking material . ...

Product Description
The Hidden Ribs was written in order to highlight women in history, both famous and interesting. I chose poetry as the format to keep it flowing. Often a story will fade, whereas, a poem will last forever. You will find laughter, tears, truth and memories in these histories. There is more history in these poems than any twenty books you will ever read, and you will not have to suffer boredom.
