Sinopse

The "Collected Works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman: Short Stories, Novels, Poems and Essays" is a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the rich and diverse literary contributions of one of the early feminist voices in American literature. This collection showcases Gilman's mastery in various genres, from her iconic short stories such as "The Yellow Wallpaper," which vividly illustrates the struggles against oppressive societal norms, to her thought-provoking essays advocating for women's rights and social reform. Gilman's literary style is characterized by its incisive clarity, psychological depth, and a keen socio-political awareness, making her work not only innovative but also foundational in exploring the intersection of gender and mental health during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent feminist, sociologist, and author whose life experiences profoundly influenced her writing. Born in 1860, she faced the limitations of her era's gender roles and became a vocal advocate for women's economic independence and educational opportunities. Her own struggles with postpartum depression and confinement heavily informed her most famous work, reflecting her desire to challenge societal norms and offer alternative perspectives on women's identity and autonomy. This comprehensive volume is essential for scholars, students, and general readers alike, offering deep insight into the socio-cultural dynamics of Gilman's time while remaining incredibly relevant to contemporary discussions on gender equality and mental health. As readers explore these works, they will not only appreciate the literary prowess of Gilman but also engage with enduring themes that continue to resonate today.

    Lady Sas lives SM. The private Mistress from Frankfurt/Main, Germany, writes on lady-sas.com one of the most popular BDSM blogs in the community. In her audiobook “Suddenly Dominatrix”, she openly tells how she became aware of the BDSM and fetish area, what she loves about it and how she lives it out passionately in private. 
    Lady Sas reports about her private background and which ups and downs she had to overcome until she found her sub Toytoy. She lets the listeners participate in her private games and SM sessions and describes in detail and vividly how she trains and uses her slave. (This is not for the faint of heart, though.) The absolute highlight here is the session she conducts together with Lady Cornelias. During this education her slave is brought physically and especially psychologically to his limit - and beyond... 
    Her audiobook provides an intimate and erotic insight into her BDSM world. It draws the authentic portrait of a woman who was able to overcome a deep private crisis and now looks all the more happily into the future. An audiobook that gives courage to dominant women and hope to subs.

  • Greatest Conquerors of the Middle Ages The: Charlemagne Saladin and Genghis Khan - cover

    Greatest Conquerors of the...

    The most famous man of the Middle Ages was probably Charlemagne, and few would argue that he was also the most important man during those centuries. Upon the death of his father, Pepin the Short, in 768, Charlemagne became King of the Franks, and he proceeded to create one of the largest European empires since the collapse of Rome. Through his conquests across Western Europe and Italy, Charlemagne became the first Holy Roman Emperor after a famous imperial coronation by Pope Leo III. In becoming the first Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne essentially established the new order on the European continent. 
    In a world fascinated by men like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan is one of history’s greatest and most famous conquerors. No man, before or since, has ever started with so little and gone on to achieve so much. From a noble family but raised in poverty that drove him to the brink of starvation, Genghis Khan rose to control the second-largest empire the world has ever known (the largest being, arguably, the British Empire of the 18th and 19th centuries), and easily the largest empire conquered by a single man.  
    Saladin is widely considered one of the greatest generals in history and one of the most famous leaders of the Middle Ages, but he remains a paradox, both in personal and in historical terms. A military genius, he first served other generals and was overshadowed, late in life, by his greatest rival, Richard I of England. He was far more admired by his Christian enemies, who extolled his chivalry, than some of his Muslim rivals, who fought him for control of Egypt and Syria in the 12th century. His Christian enemies continued his name long after it was forgotten in the Middle East, only to spark a revival of his reputation in Arab culture in the 20th century.

    ""There are many women like Belén whose names we don’t know, but whose stories are just as important. An uplifting chronicle of one woman’s fight for justice.""—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
    Foreword by Margaret Atwood 
    The heartbreaking true story of an Argentinian woman imprisoned for having a miscarriage—an injustice that galvanized a feminist movement and became a global rallying cry in the fight for reproductive rights. 
    In 2014, Belén, a twenty-five-year-old woman living in rural Argentina, went to the hospital for a stomachache—and soon found herself in prison. While at the hospital she had a miscarriage—without knowing she was pregnant. Because of the nation’s repressive laws surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, the doctors were forced to report her to the authorities. Despite her protestations, Belén was convicted and sentenced to two years for homicide. 
    Belén’s imprisonment is a glaring example of how women’s health care has become increasingly criminalized, putting the most vulnerable—BIPOC, rural, and low-income—women at greater risk of prosecution. Belén’s cause became the centerpiece of a movement to achieve greater protections for all women. After two failed attempts to clear her name, Belén met feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who quickly rallied Amnesty International and ignited an international feminist movement around #niunamas—not one more—symbolized by thousands of demonstrators around the globe donning white masks, the same kind of mask Belén wore when leaving prison. The #niunamas movement was instrumental in pressuring Argentine president Alberto Fernández to decriminalize abortion in 2021.  
    In this gripping and personal account of the case and its impact on local law, Ana Correa, one of Argentina’s leading journalists and activists, makes clear that what happened to Belén could happen to any woman—and that we all have the power to raise our collective voices and demand change.
