Sinossi

Spartan Women offers a comprehensive exploration of the lives of women in ancient Sparta, challenging popular myths and providing a nuanced view of their roles. Unlike other Greek city-states, Spartan women enjoyed unique freedoms and influence, managing property and finances while Spartan men were away on military campaigns. The book presents a balanced account of their education, physical training, and societal impact, revealing how their strength and independence were integral to Sparta's survival strategy.

 
The book argues that Spartan women's position wasn't accidental but a deliberate part of Sparta's militaristic structure. Their education and training aimed to produce strong mothers for robust warriors. Utilizing historical sources like Plutarch and archaeological evidence, the book acknowledges limitations and biases in the available information. It progresses by first establishing Sparta's historical context, then exploring the stages of a Spartan woman's life, covering the agoge, marriage customs, and cultural roles.

 
Ultimately, Spartan Women connects to broader discussions in gender studies, military history, and classical studies. It contributes to our understanding of the complex relationship between gender, power, and social structures by examining the role of women in a highly militarized society. This exploration provides valuable insights for scholars, students, and general readers interested in the lives of women in the ancient world.

    Last Voices of the Irish Revolution

    The Irish Civil War ended in 1923. Eighty years on, documentary-maker Tom Hurley wondered if there were many civilians and combatants left from across Ireland who had experienced the years 1919 to 1923, their prelude and their aftermath. What memories had they, what were their stories and how did they reflect on those turbulent times?
    In early 2003, he recorded the experiences of 18 people, conducting 2 further interviews abroad in 2004. Tom spoke to a cross section (Catholic, Protestant, Unionist and Nationalist) who were in their teens or early twenties during the civil war. The chronological approach he has taken spans 50 years, beginning with the oldest interviewee's birth in 1899 and ending when the Free State became a republic in 1949.

    Kayleigh McEnany brings to life the key cultural and political issues of our time,  analyzing world events through the lens of faith and providing listeners with Serenity in the Storm. 
     
     
     
    Our world, without question, is experiencing aberrational times. The life-altering realities of COVID-19 that I worked through as White House press secretary were just the start of it. What followed was a series of history-defining events. From the fall of Afghanistan to the nationwide crime wave, we've all endured painful images of death, destruction, and chaos. Meanwhile, radical teachings on gender and race have infiltrated our nation's schools, poisoning the minds of our children—all at a time when our country feels more divided than ever before. Along with these twenty-first century realities can come a feeling of despair and discouragement. Indeed, I hear it all the time as I crisscross the country: Americans feel disheartened and seek hope. 
     
     
     
    Taking a similar format to my New York Times bestselling book, For Such a Time as This, I analyze our domestic and international challenges through the lens of faith. Though we have lived through dark times, the storms we face have prompted many great leaders to rise to the moment and have left a yearning in the human heart for a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is walking alongside us every step of the way.

    *Winner of the Lowell Thomas Award for Best Travel Book*  
    An American woman determined to learn the Arabic language travels to the Middle East to pursue her dream in this “witty memoir” (Us Weekly).  
    Join Zora O’Neill for a grand tour through the Middle East, to laugh with her in Egypt, delight in the stories she passes on from the Gulf region, and find yourself transformed by her experiences in Lebanon and Morocco. She’s packed her dictionaries, her unsinkable sense of humor, and her talent for making fast friends of strangers. From quiet, bougainvillea-lined streets to the lively buzz of crowded medinas, from families’ homes to local hot spots, she brings a part of the world that is often flattened by news headlines into real and colorful relief.    
    A natural storyteller with an eye for the deeply absurd and the deeply human, O’Neill explores the indelible links between culture and communication. A powerful testament to the dynamism of language, All Strangers Are Kin reminds us that learning another tongue leaves you rich with so much more than words. 
    “Zora O’Neill is a wonderful writer, a hakawati who can spin a tale with the best of them.” —Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati and An Unnecessary Woman 
    “Wry, witty, and charmingly erudite, this lovely book goes through the looking glass of the Arabic language and emerges with a radiant image of the Arab world.” —Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Life Without a Recipe, Crescent, The Language of Baklava, and others
