Synopsis

The Female Wits is a remarkable early 18th-century play that intricately navigates the burgeoning landscape of women's participation in the literary and theatrical worlds. Composed in a lively and humorous style, this work engages with themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the burgeoning feminist discourse of the period. The plot revolves around the lives and aspirations of intelligent, witty women who challenge the patriarchal confines of early modern England, reflecting the cultural milieu of a time ripe for change in the literary context and feminist thought. The author, though anonymous, is presumed to be influenced by the evolving representation of women in literature and society, perhaps drawing on personal experiences or observations of the vibrant salons and literary circles of the time. The anonymity engenders a collective voice, emphasizing the shared struggles of women writers who faced considerable societal opposition. The work stands as a testament to the courage and creativity of women in a male-dominated literary field, challenging traditional narratives while championing female intellectualism. Readers interested in the intersection of gender and literature will find The Female Wits an essential read, as it not only entertains with its wit and humor but also offers a critical lens on the role of women in the 18th-century literary scene. It serves as a precursor to modern feminist literature, illuminating the voices of those who dared to challenge their societal roles, making it a significant addition to any scholarly collection.

    On October 2, 2018, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi went into the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul and was never seen again. After many years of uncertainty over his fate, in February 2021, President Joe Biden released an explosive CIA report that directly implicated Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, as allegedly being 'responsible' for the assassination of Khashoggi. The Saudi secret service deceitfully lured him into the diplomatic mission to murder him. Crime writer Owen Wilson has forensically gathered all the known facts about the slaughter, what we know happened exactly, and what prompted the most demonic conspiracy of the twenty-first century. With Wilson's thorough dive into Middle Eastern politics, the truth discovered behind the Khashoggi affair is chilling to the core. Was Khashoggi really dismembered in fifteen parts and packed into five suitcases? Was the truth even worse than the CIA suspected?

    Who We Are Is Made is an audio-anthology of South Florida writers and their roots, a collection of histories that came together through an open call for submissions, through workshops, through mentorships, and sometimes through phoning a friend. We set out to explore how much of us is actually the gift, legacy, the influence of those from other generations. How do they shape the language we use to describe the world around us? We carry histories across continents and cultivate them locally. We ferry recipes across the Americas and we share them with our neighbors, our friends. When we take a closer look at these things we carry, we start to see beyond the thing itself, to see it differently. These stories portray the complex and diverse makeup of Miami and South Florida, honoring the generations that shape who we are.
