![]() ![]() ![]() Papa glumly acquiesces to the new maternally mandated regime. Each commandment is accompanied by a penalty (''wash dishes, empty garbage, beat two rugs'') for those family members who dare transgress. Consider, the well-known ''Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners,'' wherein Mother, fed up with rudeness, sets down a new set of family rules of conduct. The raging offense of the Berenstains is the post-feminist Papa Bear, the Alan Alda of grizzlies, a wimp so passive and fumbling he makes Dagwood Bumstead look like Batman. That is a common affliction of children's literature. ![]() The Berenstains make the begging easy: the back cover of some volumes are thoughtfully filled with full-color covers of the others plus the cheerful admonition, ''Collect them all!'' It is not just the smugness and complacency of the stories that is so irritating. I know I speak for thousands, perhaps millions of other parents who share my hostility to these lumbering cuddlies but who cannot say no to a child who begs for just one more dose. ![]() If you do, you too have suffered through volume upon volume of the life of the insufferable Bear family (generically labeled Father, Mother, Brother and Sister), the eponymic creations of Jan and Stan Berenstain.

Yeah, this is a new one. There are far fewer mail-order grooms since poor (low income) men are rarely heroes. The romances are usually historical, but some creative authors have come up with modern twists. Many mail-order bride books have been written over the years. I love when an author takes a trope, turns it on its head, and does something completely different. He urges Robby to stay undercover until the danger has passed.īut a few weeks of having Robby-Rowena at the ranch and the Crabtree family will never be the same again.īuy Links: Audible US | Audible UK | Amazon US | Amazon UK | Add to GoodreadsĬover Design: Dar Albert Wicked Smart Design If that wasn’t complicated enough, Trace finds the man as appealing as blueberry pie. ![]() ![]() And then Robby Riverton showed up disguised as a woman and betrothed to Trace’s brother.

These endeavors primarily entailed abolishing scavengers’ customary rights, the technological invention of low-cost flush toilets, and legal actions taken against the government. However, efforts after independence were committed to abolishing the specific task of manual scavenging as a sine qua non for the emancipation of sanitation workers. Gandhi’s emphasis on the moral aspect of scavenging and Ambedkar’s stress on the structural inequalities in the division of sanitation labor informed the mainstream ideas in preindependence India. Ambedkar, government authorities, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), this chapter examines how humanitarian interventions were made via ideological and practical approaches to address the circumstances of sanitation workers and the limitations thereof.
