WOMEN & ECONOMICS - Enriched edition

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Sinopse

In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman presents a compelling examination of the economic roles of women in society, arguing for their financial independence and the structural changes necessary for gender equality. Drawing on social theory and the economic realities of her time, Gilman employs a blend of persuasive rhetoric and pragmatic analysis, characterized by her unique intersection of feminist thought and economic critique. The book situates itself within the broader context of early 20th-century feminist literature, challenging conventional norms and advocating for women's contributions to the economy beyond domestic confines. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a prominent social reformer and writer, was deeply influenced by her own experiences of gender roles and her contemporary societal conditions. Her personal struggles with mental health, alongside her advocacy for women's rights and social reform, shaped her vision for a society where women could thrive independently. In crafting this work, Gilman aligns her theoretical frameworks with lived experiences, making her arguments resonate deeply within the feminist discourse of her time. "Women and Economics" is a crucial read for anyone interested in understanding the economic foundations of gender inequality. Gilman's innovative approach not only provides insights into the historical context of women's economic status but also offers timeless perspectives that remain relevant in contemporary discussions on gender and economics. This seminal work invites readers to reconsider the indispensable role of women in the economy and the importance of feminist advocacy for societal progress.

Defiant Children

Brittany Forrester

Learning to communicate and manage frustration is part of growing up. But some children don’t master those skills. Suppose their frequent angry outbursts and aggressive behaviors interfere with family life, making friends, or school performance. In that case, they may have the oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), which, by some estimates, affects up to 16 percent of school-age children. Though no statistics are available for younger children, experts say that most children with ODD show signs of the disorder in the preschool years.Oppositional defiant disorder describes a pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, and/or spitefulness that lasts at least six months in multiple settings. It occurs almost daily in children younger than 5 and at least once a week in older children. (By 6 or 7, most children have learned to express anger in productive, socially acceptable ways.)Examples of anger and irritable mood include frequent loss of temper and being easily annoyed or resentful. Argumentative and defiant behavior includes refusing to obey rules, continually challenging authority, being deliberately annoying to others, and/or blaming others for mistakes or bad behavior.He says that many children with ODD have other mental health challenges, such as anxiety, mood disorders, and language and learning disorders. Trauma, parenting, styles, and other environmental issues may also contribute.As with many mental health conditions, ODD occurs on a continuum. Children with mild ODD may show symptoms only at home or only at school. Moderate ODD may be the diagnosis when a child’s ODD behaviors happen in two settings. ODD is classified as severe when the acting out is seen in three or more locations.

History of the Netherlands -...

Kelly Mass

This book consists of two titles, which are real even in the history of the Netherlands:
Battle of Waterloo - The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, near the village of Waterloo in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (present-day Belgium), was a decisive conflict that ended the Napoleonic Wars. The battle pitted the French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, against two powerful forces from the Seventh Coalition. One of these was a British-led coalition under the command of the Duke of Wellington, which included troops from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Hanover, Brunswick, and Nassau. The other force was a larger Prussian army commanded by Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. Together, these forces effectively crushed Napoleon's ambitions and marked the final chapter in his reign. The battle was also known as the Battle of Mont Saint-Jean (to the French) or La Belle Alliance (to the Prussians).
Tulip Mania - Tulip Mania, often considered the first recorded speculative bubble in history, took place during the Dutch Golden Age in the early 17th century. This period saw some tulip bulbs, which had been newly introduced to Europe, achieve extraordinary prices. The peak of the tulip market occurred in 1634, with prices reaching unbelievable levels before plummeting drastically in February 1637. This event is frequently cited as an early example of an asset bubble, where the prices of goods diverged dramatically from their intrinsic value. The tulip mania of the 1630s remains one of the most notable cases of speculative fever in financial history.

Inspired Life Beautiful Death -...

Tom Nehmy

What if the pain of grief could truly be healed? What if love never dies?
For years, clinical psychologist Dr. Tom Nehmy struggled to help his grieving clients. Traditional therapy could offer support—but not the profound healing they truly needed. That changed when he discovered Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Therapy, a groundbreaking technique that not only alleviates deep sadness but also facilitates extraordinary reconnections with the deceased.
In Inspired Life, Beautiful Death, Dr. Nehmy embarks on a deeply personal and scientific journey—one that bridges psychology, grief therapy, and the spiritual dimensions of life after death. Through vivid case studies and cutting-edge research, he reveals how IADC Therapy is transforming lives. Yet, his most powerful insights come from his own experiences—revelations that challenge everything we assume about death, consciousness, and the nature of existence.
This book is not just about grief— it’s about how to live. Drawing from the wisdom of those who have glimpsed the afterlife and reflecting on his own vulnerability, Dr. Nehmy explores what truly matters, offering practical guidance on cultivating love, spiritual awareness, and finding meaning in our greatest struggles. All the while he assures us our loved ones never truly leave us, we can heal from loss in ways once thought impossible, and our deepest fear—the fear of death—is the greatest illusion of all.
Whether you are navigating your own loss, seeking deeper meaning, or simply curious about what lies beyond, this book will challenge your beliefs, move your heart, and leave you with an unshakeable sense of hope.
