  From the author of I Hate Men, a personal and political reflection on abortion rights. 
   
   
   
  Discussion about abortion and associated rights are often limited to either "anti-abortion" or "pro-choice," the latter of which focuses on the importance of having the right to choose, rather than on what that right means for real people. 
   
   
   
  In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, detailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy. 
   
   
   
  At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better.

  What if virginity wasn't a fact—but a strategy? 
  In a world obsessed with chastity, control, and feminine mystique, The Virgin Strategist exposes the raw mechanics behind one of society's most powerful illusions: the untouchable woman. This isn't a book about sex—it's about the absence of it, and the social currency that "not giving in" can generate. 
  From purity culture to OnlyFans rebrands, this book explores how modern women wield the idea of virginity—real or fabricated—as a weapon of control, manipulation, and upward mobility. Whether she's a born-again good girl, a celibate tease, or a single mother suddenly setting moral boundaries, the Virgin Strategist isn't lying. She's surviving. She's performing. And she's winning. 
  Drawing from psychology, sociology, and unapologetic real-world case studies, this brutal analysis dives into:How celibacy can command more power than sexThe female fear of being "too available"Faux purity as brandingLong-distance virginity performancesEmotional withholding and religious re-inventionAnd the emotional toll of always pretending to be "clean" 
  The Virgin Strategist is not for the faint-hearted. It is for readers who want to understand the game behind the innocence, the strategy behind the smile, and the power behind the "no." 
  Dead serious. Laughably real. Disturbingly true.

  Avoid the speed trap! Discover how changemakers can find lasting solutions to urgent social problems through a proven 5-step process for listening thoughtfully, building broad support, and exploring unconventional options. 
   
   
  Society celebrates leaders who promise fast, easy solutions to the world's problems-but quick fixes are just mirages that fade, leaving us with the same broken systems. The truth is, effective social change happens through slow, intentional actions. The author, a globally acclaimed social entrepreneur, offers a 5-step process for taking the slow lane to change-the lane that gets you to the right place faster: 
   
  -	Listening-Listen to build trust, which can change hearts and minds and allow for something new to emerge. 
  -	Holding the urgency-Accept that even in moments of crisis you can move only at the speed of trust instead of rushing into action. 
  -	Sharing the agency-Create an inclusive environment where everyone can lead. 
  -	Healing democracy-Build bridges that allow marginalized people to participate. 
  -	Maintaining curiosity-Be inspired by nontraditional sources. 
   
  Using dozens of examples-prison reform in England, urban development in Venezuela, healthcare in the Navajo Nation, early childhood education in New York, and many more-The Slow Lane shows how, by following the principles taught in this book, readers can create lasting change.
