Summary

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.

    How inequality was forged, fought over, and forgotten through public policy in metropolitan Chicago. As in many American metropolitan areas, inequality in Chicagoland is visible in its neighborhoods. These inequalities are not inevitable, however. They have been constructed and deepened by public policies around housing, schooling, taxation, and local governance, including hidden state government policies.In Structuring Inequality, historian Tracy L. Steffes shows how metropolitan inequality in Chicagoland was structured, contested, and naturalized over time even as reformers tried to change it through school desegregation, affordable housing, and property tax reform. While these efforts had modest successes in the city and the suburbs, reformers faced significant resistance and counter-mobilization from affluent suburbanites, real estate developers, and other defenders of the status quo who defended inequality and reshaped the policy conversation about it. Grounded in comprehensive archival research and policy analysis, Structuring Inequality examines the history of Chicagoland’s established systems of inequality and provides perspective on the inequality we live with today.

    'You simply couldn't stand by with your arms folded.'
These were the words of Samuel Beckett who famously returned to France from a holiday in Ireland when World War II broke out. His clandestine work against the Nazi occupation of Europe is well documented, but there were many other ordinary Irish people who joined the underground network.
Some took up arms. Others gathered intelligence, sheltered fugitives, committed acts of sabotage or broke codes. This new history tells the stories of those forgotten Irish men and women.
Discover Captain John Keany from Cork, who parachuted into occupied Italy to help the local Resistance; Margaret Kelly, the Dublin founder of the world-famous Bluebell Girls cabaret troupe in Paris, who hid her Jewish husband; and Catherine Crean, the Irish governess born on Moore Street, Dublin, who was sent to a concentration camp for helping Allied airmen in Belgium.
These, and many more stories, span the course of World War II and remind us of the power of individuals to make a difference.

    ""Not unlike some of Ralph Ellison’s or Richard Wright’s best work. White Guilt, a serious meditation on vital issues, deserves a wide readership.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer 
In 1955 the killers of Emmett Till, a black Mississippi youth, were acquitted because they were white. Forty years later, despite the strong DNA evidence against him, accused murderer O. J. Simpson went free after his attorney portrayed him as a victim of racism. The age of white supremacy has given way to an age of white guilt—and neither has been good for African Americans. 
Through articulate analysis and engrossing recollections, acclaimed race relations scholar Shelby Steele sounds a powerful call for a new culture of personal responsibility.

    Still struggling to help your ADHD child? 
Do you see any or many of these signs and symptoms of ADHD in your child? 
- Loses important things 
- Disorganized 
- Distracted 
- No follow-through 
- Avoids mental effort 
- Doesn't listen 
- Inattentive 
- Careless 
- Spacey 
- Forgetful 
- Poor focus 
If you’re seeing more than a handful of these characteristics, you can’t ignore them.  
These behaviors indicate a child who is not fully present and not able to embrace the joy available in life. With these behaviors, often they find it impossible to interact in a cooperative, productive, and fulfilling way with other people. They don’t do as well in school, and this affects their future career possibilities. 
When your child acts up with the symptoms of ADHD, it can put you right on your “last nerve,” and you want a solution. But you’re also recognizing that simply giving your child a pill every day may not be the best or most responsible thing to do. 
Sure, you can get specialized testing and simply “get a pill” 
OR 
You can be a real parent and learn the true MEANING of their behavior, as well as what you can do to help. 
There IS a Solution to Help a Child with ADHD without Medication 
I’m here to tell you that there IS a solution for the symptoms you’re seeing in your child. And we’re not talking about controlling or minimizing the symptoms of ADHD. That’s not nearly enough. 
We’re talking about a real transformation where your child becomes truly happy, fulfilled, responsible, and, well, a human being again - almost always without the use of medications, which have a serious list of possible long-term side effects 
You can do this, so let's get started.
