Menstruationscyklussen er det femte vitale tegn sammen med blodtryk, kropstemperatur, vejrtrækningsfrekvens og puls. Denne bog giver dig al den viden, du skal bruge for at blive kendt med din egen krop, så du kan bruge de tegn, som de fire faser i cyklussen giver dig, til at opnå et bedre helbred, hvile bedst muligt og forebygge udbrændthed. Du vil lære, hvornår du gennemgår forandringer, hvornår det er lettest at blive gravid, og hvornår du bør gå til lægen og blive undersøgt.Det meste af al forskning inden for medicin er baseret på mænd. Kvinder er blevet set på som små mænd med reproduktive organer. Men kvinder er biologisk set helt forskellige fra mænd, med andre kønshormoner, som også fungerer anderledes. Hos kvinder sker der ændringer i hormoner både dagligt og månedligt, i tillæg til flere større ændringer i hormoner gennem livet. Der er en statistisk overvægt af kvinder, som bliver udbrændte og sygemeldte. Kan det, at kvinder lever i overensstemmelse med mænds cyklus og ikke deres egen, være med til at bidrage til det? Mathilde Okkenhaug Pilskog er uddannet fysioterapeut med speciale i kvinders helbred. Hun var med til at grundlægge ”Asker Kvinnehelse” i Norge, hvor hun i dag har sin praksis, samtidig med at hun er engageret i samfundsdebatten inden for kvinders helse og ofte deltager i paneldebatter og i interviews. Hun er desuden aktiv på sociale medier under navnet @kvinnehelse_fysio

Some say the streets of New York City are paved with gold, full of wealth and opportunity. In 1911, five young immigrant women search for their promise of the American Dream while working at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.But battling poverty and dangerous working conditions, can they keep their dreams alive?Or will it all turn to ashes?REVIEWS***** "This is a beautiful piece of storytelling."- Plays to see***** "As the audience left this impressive production, I could hear some of them talking about Grenfell, reminding us how little things have changed in over a hundred years."- British Theatre Guide**** "Paved with Gold and Ashes is a masterfully crafted piece which allows a glimpse into the very real running themes of classism, racism, and sexism. It's powerful in delivery, clear in intent, and has the potential to truly pack-a-punch." -- everything-theatre.co.uk"A striking piece of theatre, a significant piece of history." ̶ oughttobeclowns.com*****"Thurston's agonising and attentive descriptions of the factory fire is one of the most effective pieces of dramatic writing I have ever seen. Set against a red glow, the fire is brought to life with words and words alone. What is said and described is horrible and unfair. Thurston's writing provides an unflinching mirror to today, where the malpractice of economic giants still persists. Thurston reminds us that there is nothing accidental about these catastrophes that result in the murder of citizens and employees - they are the final movement in a larger process, of what happens when those who have worked tirelessly in order to maintain a dream of the future, are disregarded by those who are living that dream." ̶ broadwaybaby.com

The primary purpose of this interpretative phenomenological inquiry was touncover the lived experiences, both professional and personal, of Black female academicdeans across Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). Black Feminist Thought (Collins,2,000) served as a guiding theoretical framework in light of the unique experiences ofBlack women as a result of their intersecting identities. Three key findings emerged fromthe interviews with the study's participants. Together, these findings captured the essenceof the lived experiences of the participants in the study. The first finding reflected boththe underlining fatigue that Black female deans battled on a daily basis as they navigatedconstant assaults related to their race and gender as well as their resilience that definedtheir leadership in the face of such assaults. The second finding captured these deans'commitment to channel their leadership oversight towards holding institutionsaccountable for their inequitable and unjust philosophy and practices. And finally, thethird key finding reflected Black female deans' struggles to reimagine the norms andstandards of the academic deanship position to embrace historically under-representedmembers such as themselves.
