Synopsis
Book description on dust jacket:
Carlton Press is honored to present this most important, autobiographical study of a revolutionary, ROADMAP FOR A REBEL. But, reader beware! Modern times have given the word ‘revolutionary’ certain connotations that are most unsuitable for the centerpiece of the most fascinating, personal examination. No machine-gun toting, beret-clad, violent gadfly is Doris Havice - only an independent, intelligent, religious and courageous woman, crashing the barriers of our most traditionally male chauvinistic enclaves, church, family and school.
As with all food works of literature, ROADMAP FOR A REBEL operates on more than one level. Intimately interwoven with philosophic is the thought-provoking, inspirational story of a woman and their personal relationships that make up her life.
The Author provides in depth analysis of the mother-child relationship, and of the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom. Forthright and honest to the point that some might consider painful, Doris Havice openly admits the mistakes she has made. Her point-by leaving unfulfilled that special relationship offered to women by their unique ability to be mothers, not only is the child short-changed but the mother, herself, loses this wonderful opportunity to grow, develop and experience.
From whence came the spark that ignited this early feminist’s revolutionary flame? Let us listen to the words of the author, herself. “I find the answer to that question the deep and wonderful relationship that developed between my grandmother, Maggie Pelton, and me. I really knew her only for the six years of her life when I was a little girl, but her influence has permeated my life until now when I am in my seventy-second year.”
In tracing her own roots, Doris Webster Havice has not only given us a thorough understanding of the advent of American Feminism, but a perspective from which to grasp its true meaning and validity.
