Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787), "Matrimony", p.Her sphere of action is not large, and if she is not taught to look into her own heart, how trivial are her occupations and pursuits! What little arts engross and narrow her mind! Nothing, I am sure, calls forth the faculties so much as the being obliged to struggle with the world and this is not a woman's province in a married state.Good habits, imperceptibly fixed, are far preferable to the precepts of reason… Till society is very differently constituted, parents, I fear, will still insist on being obeyed, because they will be obeyed, and constantly endeavour to settle that power on a Divine right, which will not bear the investigation of reason. No man chooses evil because it is evil he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks. Quotes Nothing, I am sure, calls forth the faculties so much as the being obliged to struggle with the world. 1.1 A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792).

The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transform... by Michael Joseph Ferguson6/8/2023 Late diagnosis and treatment can increase the number of struggles individuals face as adults. Because more boys than girls are diagnosed with ADHD, a significant portion of women with ADHD are not diagnosed until adulthood. The symptoms of ADHD in adults often appear different from those in children and teens because individuals either have been taught coping strategies or have developed their own. 3 Generally, boys are diagnosed with ADHD more often than girls, but diagnostic rates do not necessarily reflect real-world prevalence studies have shown that ADHD is often hidden in girls because the symptoms are not as externally evident. 2 Among children and adolescents, ADHD is currently the third most common mental health disorder globally. It is considered one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood and, for the majority of people, continues through adulthood. 1ĪDHD is a chronic condition that can affect people as young as 3 years old. 1 According to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition DSM-5), ADHD consists of a long-standing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with daily life or healthy development. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects about 5% of children and 2.5% of adults worldwide.

Some 10 000 railway cars, stocked with supplies for the front, were bottled up in the Moscow marshalling yards. One of Boyle's most astonishing feats occurred shortly after the Bolshevik takeover in November 1917. Boyle took command of the transportation system on the southwestern front, boldly taking control of troops in a desperate situation at Tarnapol, an action for which he was decorated in the field by the Russian commander. By mid-1917 Russian transportation was in chaos and the whole country was spiraling into revolution. Too old for active duty, he got himself appointed to conduct a private mission to Russia's provisional Kerensky government. He raised and equipped a machine gun company at his own expense. When war broke out in 1914 Boyle predictably sprang into action. He also found time to spend some of his boundless energy escorting a rag-tag crew of hockey players to Ottawa to challenge for the Stanley Cup. Boyle laid claim to a huge stretch of the Klondike River and made a fortune not only in gold but in sawing timber and generating electric power. The two men made their way to Juneau, Alaska, and were among the first to travel the White Pass route to the Klondike. On his return he started a freighting business, got married and left it all to go on the road promoting an Australian boxer, Frank Slavin. At age 17 he went to New York with his father and hopped an outbound ship, spending three years at sea. Born in Toronto in 1867 and raised in Woodstock, Ont., Joe Boyle was an extraordinarily restless young man. Her own hypochondria (“I fell prey to patterns of terrible thinking, imagined myself crowded with cysts, with cancer”), along with the dread of the heritable condition that killed her mother, mean deterioration looms as large in Miri’s psyche as it does in Leah’s body. “The way that anyone who sneezes more than four times abruptly loses the sympathy of an audience, so it was with me and Leah.” When she finally surfaces and returns home, her wife Miri knows that. A marine biologist, she left for a routine expedition months earlier, only this time her submarine sank to the sea floor. “It went on too long and too helplessly,” Miri explains. Fathomlessly inventive and original, Julia Armfield's Our Wives Under the Sea is a portrait of marriage as we've never seen it before. To her wife, Leah’s initial symptoms – bleeding gums, strange sensitivities, lack of appetite – characterise a change that feels almost like betrayal. Seeking to answer it herself, Miri spends hours on hold to the shadowy “Centre for Marine Enquiry”, which organised the expedition – though as Leah’s ordeal comes into focus, so do the reasons staff might not have felt equipped to explain it over the phone.ĭeprived of natural light and stimulation, tortured by sounds that test her sanity, Leah’s time in the submarine sets off a chain of events she is powerless to halt. She always had a large interest in reading and writing, but never had enough time to dedicate to the interest.

I once saw someone share a group photo of us on social media with the caption, There's something about having all nine of us together that makes a certain kind of energy radiate. As we pose, the cameras start clicking in a frenzy, catching us from all angles. We balance each other out, the tall girls and the shorter girls finding their spots in the formation so no one looks out of place. Like we've done a thousand times before, the girls assemble for the photo-each of us instinctively knowing where to stand so that our best features are shown off. "How about a group shot?" a photographer yells. Fans scream when they see us, clamoring to get closer through the wall of paparazzi. Mina is close at my heels, and seven girls emerge from the limo behind us, lifting their hands in queenlike waves. I subtly smooth down my outfit-a glittering wrap dress with a strapless sweetheart neckline-as I step onto the red carpet. Cameras flash in my direction before my champagne-colored stilettos have even touched the ground. But dark forces, human and otherworldly, work against Laia and Elias.
