Damsels Overcome (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The novel DAMSELS OVERCOME includes twenty folktales. As noted in the folktales, the masculine voices and pronouns are the standard in literature from the 6th to 18th centuries in many countries. In these folktales, Bobbie Kinkead personally considers damsels skills, that inspire survival beyond male domination of codes and norms, even today. Her argument is with male narratives, which lock both males and females into the standards that women are servants, helpless, feeble, lesser than, and to be saved. Female attitudes, opinions, and pronouns are important and bring balance to writing and storytelling. Time to recognize the position of female and honor her narratives as worth and value.

Autorenporträt

As a child, Bobbie Kinkead created stories: playing at the creek, hunting frogs, and meeting the spirited folks; when walking to her grandmothers; and rocking in a swing on warm Colorado nights. As a teen, Bobbie rode her bike to the library to read every folk and fairy tale possible.
Graduating from Colorado University in Boulder, Bobbie taught first-grade in Anchorage, Alaska, then traveled to San Francisco to marry and teach art in the elementary schools. Moving to Oakland, she ran a home preschool. Stories were important.
While her children attended public school, Bobbie volunteered as Regional Adviser for the Society of Children Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and editor of galleys for the Bay Area. Needing a rest, through the California University, Bobbie was certified as a Master Gardener. As a professional gardener, Bobbie reconnected with the spirit folks and finished Rhyonna's Fright.
Attending Dominican University, Bobbie studied storytelling and was asked to be part of the Asian Art Gallery (AAM) Core of Storytelling. Today she participates in the Storytelling Association of California (SAC) telling folktales, legends, fables, and myths. She finished her next novel, Damsels Overcome including twenty-two folktales about women, who used their powers to survive and their empowerment for us in their struggles.
Bobbie confirms, "...all important for writing a good story."
