Summary

The Greatest Works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a collection of the most important writings by the prominent feminist author. Known for her groundbreaking feminist and social reformist ideas, Gilman's works are characterized by their strong advocacy for women's rights and critiques of traditional gender roles. Through her compelling narratives and thought-provoking essays, Gilman addresses issues such as gender inequality, domesticity, and the oppressive nature of patriarchal society. Her literary style is clear, direct, and persuasive, making her arguments both accessible and impactful to readers. This collection provides a comprehensive overview of Gilman's diverse body of work, showcasing her immense contribution to feminist literature and social activism. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a prolific writer and lecturer, was deeply committed to advancing women's rights and challenging the status quo. Drawing from her own experiences, including a tumultuous marriage and struggles with postpartum depression, Gilman's writings often reflect her personal and political beliefs. Her influential essay 'The Yellow Wallpaper' remains a classic of feminist literature, revealing the detrimental effects of the rest cure on women's mental health. Gilman's advocacy for economic independence and educational opportunities for women continues to inspire readers worldwide.

Based on her powerful book, this study takes participants through seven steps to unlock their unique design--the brilliantly original way they think, feel, relate, and make choices--freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Participants learn to be aware of what's going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experiences rather than trying to forcefully change them, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they'll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives.

    Titan of Tehran - From Jewish...

    The titan is Habib Elghanian—a self-made industrialist and the foremost Jew of his time in Iran, whom the Islamic theocracy targeted as the first civilian executed during the 1979 revolution. With Iran continuing to generate front-page news, his previously untold story is painfully relevant, shedding light on that country's persistent economic, political and social problems. 
 
 
 
The odyssey of Elghanian's life and death is told by his granddaughter in an understated style that nonetheless makes clear her powerful stake and personal place in the unfolding drama. Exploring universal themes of loss and longing, belonging and identity, she reconstructs and chronicles his ascent from Tehran's Jewish quarter—"the edge of the pit"—to his business success that was instrumental in modernizing the country to fatefully facing a firing squad. 
 
 
 
Titan of Tehran serves as a monument to a man who might have disappeared in the mists of history, even though his execution was reported worldwide on newspaper front pages and in broadcast news reports. In his homeland, Elghanian was misrepresented, mistreated, maligned, and murdered—but now won't be forgotten. He is a riveting character whom listeners will keep in their hearts—a titan, yes, but deeply, sadly, delightfully human, too.

"A superior volume on Christian antiracism."--Publishers Weekly 
 
Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent faith leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise--the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. 
 
In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair. Drawing from his anti-racism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois encourages us to move from a "colorblind" stance of mythic innocence to one that takes an honest account of our national history and acknowledges our complicity in racism as a prelude to anti-racist interventions. 
 
Weaving together personal narrative, theology, and history, this book invites us to engage 6 "rhythms of reparative intercession." These are six practices of anti-racism that aim to repair harm by speaking up and "acting up" on behalf of others. Silencing White Noise offers concrete ways to help people wrest free from the dangers of racism and to develop lifelong Christian anti-racist practices.
