I had a dickens of a time trying to find one even while I was in Romania. I finally got my hands on two but it was all very unorthodox. One a lady handed me one from right off her wall after I admired it aloud, and the other was a gift from a friend that I believe he found at an antique store after weeks of searching. Sorry I am not much help, but perhaps ebay could produce something?!leah janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494732330341026417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540658255223609762.post-30780624095027835462011-09-16T00:31:38.878-04:002011-09-16T00:31:38.878-04:00Yes, I loved sitting in on one of Woozie's cla...Yes, I loved sitting in on one of Woozie's classes at the BYU too. Commenting on Mike's thoghts, I would say that WWII had a big impact on advancing the feminist movement.LiNdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663058531280220249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540658255223609762.post-44164442396989953952011-09-15T18:48:11.575-04:002011-09-15T18:48:11.575-04:00It seems odd to me to ask about why Islamic countr...It seems odd to me to ask about why Islamic countries haven't followed the latest wave of feminism without asking what factors led some western countries to involve women more. As you note, these countries weren't always more oppressive. If we knew what factors led to the expansion of women's rights we could ask whether those factors exist in Islamic countries.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904446896535209789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540658255223609762.post-3519050449739261852011-09-14T18:03:47.247-04:002011-09-14T18:03:47.247-04:00Are you sure you guys can't move to Edmonton? ...Are you sure you guys can't move to Edmonton? <br /><br />It seems that culture is influenced by religion and also that religion responds to culture. There doesn't seem to be a clear a) or b) distinction. When Mohammed organized Islam wasn't it partly in response to the inadequacy of the social structure of the existing culture? His reforms seemed both cultural and religious....and political. Gee, the line between religion and politics is kind of fuzzy in Islam as well isn't it? Wow, this is such a loaded question. Thanks for making me think today.C.J.
