Sinopse

"World Leaders Wives" explores the often-overlooked influence of spouses on world leaders, examining their impact on political events, social reforms, and cultural shifts. Moving beyond simple biographies, the book analyzes how these individuals wielded "soft power," influencing policy through social connections and subtle persuasion. It also delves into the personal sacrifices and constraints they faced, balancing personal ambitions with the demands of their partner's career.

 
The book unfolds by first introducing the concept of spousal influence and then examining specific instances where these individuals demonstrably shaped historical outcomes through detailed case studies. These case studies include figures from diverse geographical regions and historical periods.

 
Ultimately, the book discusses the implications of recognizing spousal influence for our understanding of power and historical change. By providing historical context and drawing upon various sources, including personal letters and official documents, the book challenges traditional, leader-centric narratives of history. It highlights the collaborative aspects of power, revealing the intricate networks of influence that operate behind the scenes and offering a more nuanced understanding of leadership.

    From the iconic stylist and fashion provocateur whose designs transformed culture—bringing the glitz of Studio 54 and the sophistication of Sex and the City to the mainstream—comes a playful yet intimate memoir of a life spent challenging conventions. 
     
    Carrie Bradshaw’s pairing of a tutu with a tank top is one of the most iconic outfits ever seen on television—and a look that turned avant-garde New York designer and stylist Patricia Field into a household name. But before she was crowned the fairy godmother of haute couture, Field was the owner of the longtime East Village emporium Pat Field, a haven for drag queens, club kids, starving artists, NYU freshmen, and creative visionaries alike. Presiding over downtown with her distinctive vermillion hair and a constantly lit cigarette, Patricia was a rock ’n’ roll den mother to everyone from Amanda Lepore to Lady Bunny to Patti Smith, with her store providing the city’s eccentrics with a place to discover a sense of family, home, and a rhinestone bedazzled bustier or two. 
    In Pat in the City, Patricia describes her journey from scrappy Queens kid peddling men’s pants to the fashion world’s most notorious renegade. As the daughter of immigrant parents, Field learned the principles of glamour from her entrepreneurial mother, and applied her NYU lessons on democracy to inform a fashion ethos that would reach millions. From her Studio 54 disco-glam styling to her award-winning work in The Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City to today’s buzzy costuming in Emily in Paris, Field’s inimitable styling has pushed the envelope and created trends that have become the culture standard. Now in her seventies, Patricia Field is ready to tell her story—not to take a final bow, but to spread her credo of challenging convention and filling the world with joy and dancing.

    In this lecture Robert Anton Wilson speaks of how we think we all know who we are. You are living in your own reality that you are creating. Everybody has a vision of themselves that they have created. Where in relationships the other person has an entirely different vision of you are as a person. Strangers see you completely different from how you view yourself. Which is the real you? Certainly not the you that you know. Our knowledge of ourselves is usually tremendously delusional and most people don't actually know the real them.
