  Retracing my mother’s footsteps in search of women’s freedom 
  1974. A 22-year-old Jacqui French stands for a photograph in Omaha, Nebraska, thousands of miles from home.  
  In 2022, the US Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, restricting access to abortion across America. The decision mirrored a global trend towards a devastating unravelling of women’s freedoms; a reversal of hard-won progress, and a battle that continues to be fought on both sides of the Atlantic. 
  Following in the footsteps of her mother fifty years before her, Marisa Bate is galvanised to journey across America, meeting the women on the ground, and telling the stories behind the headlines. Examining half a century of feminist struggle in the UK and the US, she also finds herself tracing the roots of her own family, seamlessly interweaving the personal with the political. 
  Lyrical, poignant, and bursting with defiant hope, And Still We March is an urgent and perceptive dissection of female autonomy, motherhood, and a woman’s right to choose. 
  A ‘beguiling feminist memoir’ Lindsey Hilsum 
  In this top-rated autobiography, Marisa Bate delves into the history of women's rights, intertwining it with her mother's personal journey. The narrative is a testament to the resilience of women, even in the face of discrimination and social challenges. 
  For fans of Richard Osman (Richard Osman's House of Games), Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Lucy Jones (Matrescence), Donna Lancaster (Wise Words for Women), and Bre Graham (Table for Two).

  This book bundle takes an in-depth look at one of the most insidious forms of psychological manipulation: gaslighting. In this comprehensive 3-in-1 volume, which includes Gaslighting, Obfuscation, and Self-Deception, readers explore the methods that abusers use to distort their victims' perception of reality and undermine their sense of self. 
  Gaslighting, a tactic where an abuser manipulates another into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity, is explored in vivid detail. Obfuscation highlights the ways in which truth is hidden, twisted, or obscured to confuse and control the victim, while Self-Deception reveals how individuals, often unknowingly, buy into the lies and manipulation, resulting in internalized confusion and self-doubt. The book delves into the complex psychological dynamics of these manipulative strategies and the emotional toll they take. 
  Through powerful case studies and expert analysis, Gaslight Nation empowers readers to recognize these harmful behaviors in their own lives and offers practical steps for breaking free from the cycle of deception and regaining clarity. Whether in personal relationships or larger societal contexts, this book serves as a crucial tool for understanding the devastating effects of gaslighting and finding a path to healing and truth.

  Pop Masculinities - The Politics...

  In Pop Masculinities, author Kai Arne Hansen investigates the performance and policing of masculinity in pop music as a starting point for grasping the broad complexity of gender and its politics in the early twenty-first century. Drawing together perspectives from critical musicology, gender studies, and adjacent scholarly fields, the book presents extended case studies of five well-known artists: Zayn, Lil Nas X, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Take That. 
   
   
   
  By directing particular attention to the ambiguities and contradictions that arise from these artists' representations of masculinity, Hansen argues that pop performances tend to operate in ways that simultaneously reinforce and challenge gender norms and social inequalities. Providing a rich exploration of these murky waters, Hansen merges the interpretation of recorded song and music video with discourse analysis and media ethnography in order to engage with the full range of pop artists' public identities as they emerge at the intersections between processes of performance, promotion, and reception. In so doing, he advances our understanding of the aesthetic and discursive underpinnings of gender politics in twenty-first century pop culture and encourages listeners to contemplate the sociopolitical implications of their own musical engagements as audiences, critics, musicians, and 
  scholars.

  Your Best Friend - And Other Essays

  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 90 by M. B. Werapitiya, Your Best Friend: And Other Essays, narrated by Tejendra Patel. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. III. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 90 can be downloaded from the BPS website.
   
  Excerpt:
   
  "To understand ourselves, we must live with ourselves and know all about ourselves. The mind for that matter is flickering, fickle, difficult to guard and control and flutters like a fish taken out of its watery abode and thrown upon the land. Somebody causes you hurt and although the aggressor has disappeared from sight, the hurt grows within you and every so often keeps surfacing with an overpowering intensity to give you a warp. Then again, you see something that has captured your attention and your mind has instantly photographed it from every conceivable angle with a see-through lens, developed it in your mental dark-room, brought out the prints and enlargements with the skill of an expert cameraman and processor rolled into one. Similarly, all the sense faculties and the mind are of high sensitivity and respond to anything and everything exciting. If the degree of excitement is not sufficiently satisfying, you step it up with the use of drugs, intoxicants and poisons. This activity goes on unabated and makes of you a human derelict. A wise person living in his mind protects himself holding himself dear. Such a person whose senses are subdued, whose pride is destroyed and is free from corruptions, is calm of mind, speech and action and rightly knows, and is perfectly peaceful and equipoised."
