Neoconservatism (commonly shortened to neocon) is a political movement born in the United States during the 1960s among conservative-leaning Democrats who became disenchanted with the party's foreign policy.
 Many of its adherents became politically famous during the Republican presidential administrations of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
 Neoconservatives peaked in influence during the administration of George W. Bush, when they played a major role in promoting and planning the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
 Prominent neoconservatives in the George W. Bush administration included Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle and Paul Bremer.
 Senior officials Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, while not identifying as neoconservatives, listened closely to neoconservative advisers regarding foreign policy, especially the defense of Israel and the promotion of American influence in the Middle East.

Delores S. Williams is a theologian notable for her formative role in the development of womanist theology and best known for her book "Sisters in the Wilderness".
 Her writings over the years have discussed the role intersecting oppressions of race, gender, and class have played in the situation of black women.
 As opposed to feminist theology as it was predominately practiced by white women and black theology as predominately practiced by black men, Williams argues that black women's oppression deepens the analysis of oppression in theology.
 In "Sisters in the Wilderness," Williams' primarily develops a rereading of the biblical figure, Hagar, to illuminate the importance of issues of reproduction and surrogacy in black women's oppression.
 According to Aaron McEmrys, "Williams offers a theological response to the defilement of black women... Womanism is an approach to ethics, theology and life rooted in the experiences of African-American women".
 The term "Womanism" was coined by a contemporary of Williams, Alice Walker, used in her 1979 short story "Coming Apart" and again in her 1983 essay collection "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens".
 Williams wrote the eighth chapter of "Transforming the Faiths of our Fathers: Women who Changed American Religion" (2004), edited by Ann Braude.

Captain Richard Tappin Claridge, FSA (c. 1797/1799 –1857), was a prominent asphalt contractor and captain in the Middlesex Militia, who became best known for his prominent promotion of hydropathy, now known as hydrotherapy, in the 1840s.
 It was also known as the "Cold Water system" or "Cold Water cure".
 Claridge is widely credited with introducing the methods of Vincent Priessnitz to England, thus initiating the populist movement of the time.
 Indeed, much of what is popularly known about Priessnitz in the English-speaking world comes from two seminal publications.
 Firstly, Claridge's "Hydropathy; or The Cold Water Cure, as practiced by Vincent Priessnitz..." (1842 & 1843).
 Secondly, Richard Metcalfe's "Life of Vincent Priessnitz" (1898), with Metcalfe himself drawing upon Claridge, although Metcalfe also later wrote a historical overview and added more about Claridge and his role in the promotion of hydropathy.
