Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the period between 1200 and 1500 in western Europe, a number of religious women gained widespread veneration and even canonization as saints for their extraordinary devotion to the Christian eucharist, supernatural multiplications of food and drink, and miracles of bodily manipulation, including stigmata and inedia (living without eating). The occurrence of such phenomena sheds much light on the nature of medieval society and medieval religion. It also forms a chapter in the history of women. Previous scholars have occasionally noted the various phenomena in isolation from each other and have sometimes applied modern medical or psychological theories to them. Using materials based on saints' lives and the religious and mystical writings of medieval women and men, Caroline Walker Bynum uncovers the pattern lying behind these aspects of women's religiosity and behind the fascination men and women felt for such miracles and devotional practices. She argues that food lies at the heart of much of women's piety. Women renounced ordinary food through fasting in order to prepare for receiving extraordinary food in the eucharist. They also offered themselves as food in miracles of feeding and bodily manipulation. Providing both functionalist and phenomenological explanations, Bynum explores the ways in which food practices enabled women to exert control within the family and to define their religious vocations. She also describes what women meant by seeing their own bodies and God's body as food and what men meant when they too associated women with food and flesh. The author's interpretation of women's piety offers a new view of the nature of medieval asceticism and, drawing upon both anthropology and feminist theory, she illuminates the distinctive features of women's use of symbols. Rejecting presentist interpretations of women as exploited or masochistic, she shows the power and creativity of women's writing and women's lives.

Book excerpt: She’s addicted to adrenaline. He always speeds to the top. When they face off over a career-making contract, will their chemistry hit the wall? CJ Lomax refuses to apologize for being herself. As a sassy-mouthed spitfire fighting for a slot in the male-dominated world of stock car racing, she can’t afford to show any cracks. But when a handsome stranger stops her from falling head-over-red-stilettos, the knowledge that he’s out to steal her ride sours the instant attraction. Grady McBane’s driving infamy comes with a side of bad-boy disgrace. But the charming rich scion is sure he can forge a new name for himself away from the Indy circuit, even if he’d rather watch his unexpectedly beautiful competition’s curves than those on the track. And he curses karma hard when he realizes his angry rival’s grit and ambition are his ultimate turn-on. As it dawns on CJ they’re being used as pawns by those gunning to see them fail, she tries to hide her growing feelings when they vie for pole position. And while Grady wears his heart on his sleeve, he struggles to make the focused fighter believe she’s more than a pit stop on his way to the podium. Will their fiery battle force love to take second place, or can they cross the finish line to happiness? A Fast Woman is the steamy first book in the Driven Women contemporary sports romance series. If you like charismatic characters, snarky banter, and turbocharged action, then you’ll adore Laralyn Doran’s race to passion. Buy A Fast Woman to give desire the green light today!
