Beschreibung

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Collected Works' presents a comprehensive anthology of her writings, showcasing her influential contributions to feminist thought and social reform at the turn of the 20th century. This collection includes her seminal short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper," along with essays, poems, and critiques that deftly explore themes of gender, identity, and mental health within a society marked by patriarchal restraints. Gilman's literary style—marked by a sharp, poignant prose intermixed with rich symbolism—encapsulates the struggles of women seeking autonomy and self-identity in a rapidly changing world. Born in 1860 and a prolific writer, Gilman was a prominent advocate for women's rights, drawing upon her own experiences with mental illness and confinement to craft narratives that resonate with emotional depth and societal critique. Her personal history, including a challenging marriage and eventual separation, fueled her dedication to addressing the economic and psychological oppression of women. Gilman's own life experiences imbued her writings with authenticity, allowing her to candidly explore the conflicts between societal expectations and individual freedom. 'The Collected Works' is an essential read for anyone interested in women's studies, American literature, or the historical context of feminism. It offers invaluable insights into early feminist thought and remains profoundly relevant today, inviting readers to reflect on the ongoing struggles for gender equality. Delve into this rich collection to understand the legacy of one of America's most pioneering voices.

    Supergay! - A Memoir

    Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear glitter. 
    Frankie Grande always knew he was different. He just didn't know it was his superpower. Growing up glittery in a grayscale world, he found refuge in the fantasy realms of rainbow belts, telepathic mutants, and intergalactic girlbosses. (Looking at you, Rainbow Brite.) But behind the show tunes and sparkles was a lonely little boy fighting big, scary feelings―about identity, addiction, abandonment, and belonging. 
    In Supergay!, Frankie turns his hot mess history into comic-book canon, reframing every heartbreak and hard moment as part of a campy, chaotic, deeply human hero's journey. With outrageous honesty and unapologetic humor, he tells the story of how a fabulous queer nerd learned to stop hiding, start healing, and fully embrace the power of being too much. 
    This isn't just a memoir. It's a technicolor call to arms for anyone who's ever felt weird, othered, or alone. Because in a world that wants you to tone it down, the bravest thing you can do is turn the volume all the way up.

    "This is the Way." In Star Wars and Philosophy Strikes Back, the Way wends through entirely new adventures in the Star Wars galaxy far, far away: not only the films of the Skywalker saga, but also Rebels, The Bad Batch, Rogue One, Solo, and The Mandalorian. Like the creators of these films and television series, the authors in this book harness the magical mix of humor, action, empathy, characterization, adventure, and fan service that constitutes Star Wars. 
     
     
     
    In addition to thorny metaphysical questions about the nature of time and free will, this volume highlights the staggering cultural impact of George Lucas's universe. The newest Star Wars narratives tackle ethnicity on alien worlds and how love and sex with a droid like L3-37 would work ("It works"). The connections between the Separatist Freedom Movement and the struggle for social justice in the USA in the twenty-first century are brought to light. And philosophical second looks at Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi prove there is much more to this controversial entry in the Skywalker saga. 
     
     
     
    Thirty-six philosophers, both sages and scoundrels among them, examine the full range of deep questions throughout the Star Wars chronology—from The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker and beyond. "They have spoken."
