	Dower - LoveToKnow 1911
		Dower ad ostium ecclesiae, by which the bride was dowered at the church porch (where all marriages used formerly to take place), and dower ex assensu patris, by the father of the bridegroom, though long obsolete, were formally abolished by the Dower Act 1834.
		Dower is governed in the United Kingdom, so far as women married after the 1st of January 1834 are concerned, by the Dower Act 1834, and under it only attaches on the husband's death to the lands which he actually possessed for an estate of inheritance at the time of his death.
		In this way dower proved an obstacle to the free alienation of land, for it was necessary for a husband wishing to make a valid conveyance to obtain the consent of his wife releasing her right to dower.

	Religious Dower
		These were received gratuitously and without dower and, although in no wise prohibited from presenting the monastery with a portion of their property, were supported out of the revenues assigned to the monastery for this purpose.
		Dispensation from solemn vows was, it may almost be said, unknown, and the obligatory restitution of dower had not been provided for in the case of a religious leaving her community; it was the result of equity rather than law.
		Each congregation of nuns should settle in its statutes the dower, equal in all cases, for the choir religious; it should even establish a lesser dower (but the same for each one) to be deposited by the lay, or assistant, sisters.

	History professor John Dower awarded Mellon prize - MIT News Office
		John W. Dower, Ford International Professor of History, was formally notified on Friday, December 17, that he had won the prestigious humanities award, which provides funds of up to $1.5 million to deepen and extend humanistic scholarship over a 3-year period.
		Dower was "caught completely by surprise" by the award, yet the funds come "right at the point when it looks like we can take off with a project to wed humanities at MIT with new technological opportunities and change the way we talk about and teach historical materials," he said.
		Dower traces developments within his own approach to history and use of historical materials back to the 1960s and 1970s, when the disparity between official documents of events such as the Vietnam War and Watergate and lived experience became painfully clear.

	Amazon.ca: Embracing Defeat: Books: John Dower (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Dower argues that the key to Japan's industrialization lies in the '15 years war', starting with the commencement of hostilities with China in 1931.
		Dower describes the pathos of Japan's defeat and its difficult post-war journey to remake itself and its society - the backside of WWII in the Pacific.
		Dower includes a fascinating discussion of an interesting dilemma facing America: how to break away from the racist vilification of the Japanese by wartime propaganda and now show that the Japanese could measure up to sustaining a democratic form of government.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dower
		So too in the special instance of a widow (herself poor and undotated) of a husband rich at the time of his death, an ordinance of the Christian Emperor Justinian secured her the right to a part of her husband's property, of which no disposition of his could deprive her.
		Assignment of dower in his hand would nevertheless be postponed until the natural death of such a religious.
		After the Reformation and the enactment of the English statute of 11 and 12 William III, prohibiting "papists" from inheriting or purchasing lands, a Roman Catholic widow was not held to be debarred of dower, for dower accruing by operation of law was deemed to be not within the prohibitions of the statute.

	Orals Reading Notes: War Without Mercy, John Dower
		John Dower's War Without Mercy describes the ugly racial dimensions of the conflict in the Asian theater of World War II and their consequences on both military and reconstruction policy in the Pacific.
		As Dower remarks, "these transitions and juxtapositions in the Western image of the Japanese were abrupt and jarring: from subhuman to superhuman, lesser men to supermen.
		In "The Pure Self," Dower describes how Japanese came to see whites not in terms of color but of "purity." "Where racism in the West was markedly characterized by denigration of others," writes Dower, "the Japanese were preoccupied far more exclusively with elevating themselves.
