Sinossi

In "Feminism and Sex-Extinction," Arabella Kenealy delves into the intersection of feminist thought and the sociocultural implications of reproductive choices. The book critiques the traditional narratives surrounding women's roles, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of femininity that encompasses both the biological and societal dimensions of existence. Kenealy employs a colloquial yet incisive literary style, engaging readers with her sharp wit and observational prowess as she tackles pressing issues of her time, situating the discourse within the broader context of early 20th-century feminist movements and evolving scientific perspectives on gender and reproduction. Arabella Kenealy, a prominent British physician and suffragist, was deeply engaged in the dialogues of her day, influenced by both her medical background and her commitment to women's rights. Her professional experiences underscored the importance of women's autonomy in reproductive health, shaping her arguments against patriarchal structures that limited women's choices. This unique combination of medical knowledge and feminist advocacy made her a pioneering figure in advocating for women's agency amidst societal constraints. "Feminism and Sex-Extinction" is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of feminist theory and the ongoing conversations surrounding gender, reproduction, and autonomy. Kenealy's incisive analysis and passionate prose invite readers to reflect critically on the legacy of these issues, making this book a profound contribution to both feminist scholarship and contemporary debates.

    "In the following pages I have endeavoured to give the reader a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life, and some few of the difficulties which have attended me along its journey, down to this time. I am perfectly aware, that I have related many small and, as I fear, uninteresting circumstances; but if so, my apology is, that it was rendered necessary by a desire to link the different periods of my life together, as they have passed, from my childhood onward, and thereby to enable the reader to select such parts of it as he may relish most, if, indeed, there is any thing in it which may suit his palate."

    The samurai have long stood as symbols of discipline, honor, and martial prowess, their legends woven into the very fabric of Japan’s history. Emerging as a distinct warrior class in the Heian period, the samurai gradually rose to power, shaping the political and social landscape of feudal Japan for centuries. Their influence extended beyond the battlefield, deeply embedding itself in Japanese culture, philosophy, and even governance. While many envision the samurai as noble warriors upholding a strict moral code, the reality of their existence was far more complex—marked by fierce loyalty, political intrigue, and the constant struggle for survival.  
      
    At the heart of samurai life was Bushidō, the Way of the Warrior, a code that dictated their principles and behavior. Bushidō emphasized values such as loyalty, honor, self-discipline, and an unwavering acceptance of death. While often romanticized, this code was not a singular, rigid doctrine but rather an evolving philosophy influenced by Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shintoism. Some samurai embodied these ideals to the fullest, becoming paragons of virtue, while others used their martial skills for personal gain, engaging in deception, betrayal, and ruthless ambition. The reality of the samurai was one of contradiction—both noble protectors and fierce conquerors, loyal vassals and rebellious warlords.  
      
    As the samurai class grew in power, their stories became legendary, passed down through generations in both historical records and folklore. Figures like Miyamoto Musashi, the undefeated duelist, or the 47 Ronin, who avenged their fallen lord, continue to capture the imagination of people worldwide. Yet, separating historical fact from myth can be challenging. Many tales have been embellished over time, transformed into romanticized narratives that obscure the grittier truths of samurai life.

    You chose to be an educator because you felt a sense of purpose, a wish to serve—it's not just a profession. 
     
    Teaching is a role that demands emotional presence, relational skill, and boundless energy. If you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and more disconnected from your purpose, then chances are your students are feeling that way too. In The Self-Led Educator, Joanna Curry-Sartori is leading the movement to help teachers and school leaders use the transformative tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reclaim their love of teaching, work compassionately with their own "parts" to better serve students, and build a resilient and connected community. 
     
    Becoming self-led means that your thoughts, emotions, and actions will be guided by the core self, rather than your reactive impulses, self-protective tendencies, or desire to people-please. Curry-Sartori will help you identify the root causes of collective stress, student disengagement, and interpersonal conflict at school, while also providing proven tools to prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being. Let this powerful book be your guide to becoming a more calm, clear, compassionate, creative, curious, and connected educator. You can lead your school community toward excellence . . . starting with yourself.
