In the decade following World War I, nineteenth-century womanhood came under attack not only from feminists but also from innumerable "ordinary" young women determined to create "modern" lives for themselves. These young women cut their hair, wore short skirts, worked for wages, sought entertainment outside the home, and developed new attitudes toward domesticity, sexuality, and their bodies. Historians have generally located the origins of this shift in women's lives in the upheavals of World War I. Birgitte Søland's exquisite social and cultural history suggests, however, that they are to be found not in the war itself, but in much broader social and economic changes. Søland's engrossing chronicle draws on a rich variety of sources--including popular media and medical works as well as archival records and oral histories--to examine how notions of femininity and womanhood were reshaped in Denmark, a small, largely agrarian country that remained neutral during the war. It explores changes in the female body and personality, the forays of young women into the public sphere, the redefinition of female respectability, and new understandings of married life as evidenced in both cultural discourses and social practices. Though specific in its focus, the book raises broad comparative questions as it challenges common assumptions about the social and sexual upheavals that characterized the Western world in the postwar decade. In a remarkably engaging fashion, it shows why the end of World War I did not lead to the return of "normal" life in the 1920s.

The poet and visual artist Mina Loy has long had an underground reputation as an exemplary avant-gardist. Born in London of mixed Jewish and English parentage, and a much photographed beauty, she moved in the pivotal circles of international modernism—in Florence as Gertrude Stein's friend and Marinetti's lover; in New York as Marcel Duchamp's co-conspirator and Djuna Barnes's confidante; in Mexico with the greatest love, the notorious boxer-poet Arthur Cravan; in Paris with the Surrealists and Man Ray. Carolyn Burke's riveting, authoritative biography, Becoming Modern, brings this highly original and representative figure wonderfully alive, in the process giving us a new picture of modernism—and one woman's important contribution to it.

From someone to Paripurna Modern Yogi! The purpose of life is to look for the GOLDENDOOR, which leads us to the pathway of a purposeful Paripurna Life. Moreover, the ultimate purpose of life is to live it to the fullest. When we are kids we are the true Yogi, our innocence makes sense in all our acts, innocence brings fearlessness that innocence we need to nurture in our whole life. However, as we start growing we encounter the reality of life. There are some lessons that we need to learn in this birth and pursue our DHARMA, ARTHA, KAMA, AND MOKSHA, gaining access to knowledge of God, experiencing His infinite greatness, and seeking salvation using the unique combination of our mind, body, soul with our intellect, speech, and actions. God cannot be seen always in a statue, temples but in humans. Manasi is a working professional, having good experience in Yoga and Meditation. She strongly believes that everything that happens in our life is only to direct ourselves on our walk towards our ultimate purpose. In this book, she has summarised her experience from different modalities and derived a method to shape a 360-degree Persona for becoming Paripurna Modern Yogi to walk on our ultimate purposeful life. Do good and good will come to you! Rest are Moha (Attachments) and Maya(Delusions). Innocence keeps us fearless and that is what we require in our Ultimate Purpose of life. Becoming Modern Yogi.
