Sinopse

In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman presents a groundbreaking analysis of the socio-economic forces shaping women's roles in society at the turn of the 20th century. Through a blend of sociological insight and feminist critique, Gilman argues for women's economic independence and autonomy as essential to social progress. Drawing on historical context and contemporary issues, her writing style is both provocative and persuasive, inviting readers to rethink traditional gender roles informed by economic dependency. This seminal work not only highlights the impact of capitalism on women's liberation but also critiques the domestic sphere, ultimately advocating for systemic changes in both family structures and broader societal norms. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a prominent intellectual of her time, was steeped in the feminist movement and its implications for women's emancipation. Born into a lineage of social reformers, Gilman's personal experiences with depression and confinement in her earlier years led her to reject conventional views of femininity and domesticity. Her motivation to expose the injustices faced by women, along with her diverse background in literature and sociology, informed her powerful call for economic reform. "Women and Economics" is a vital read for anyone interested in feminist theory, socio-economic analysis, and the intersections of gender and economics. Gilman's insightful critique remains remarkably relevant today, making it an essential text for contemporary discussions around women's roles in society.

    Throughout history, too many Americans have been disenfranchised or faced needless barriers to vote. Part of the blame falls on the Constitution, which does not contain an affirmative right to vote. The Supreme Court has made matters worse by failing to protect voting rights and limiting Congress's ability to do so. The time has come for voters to take action and push for an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee this right for all. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on troubling stories of state attempts to disenfranchise military voters, women, African Americans, students, former felons, Native Americans, and others, Richard Hasen argues that American democracy can and should do better in assuring that all eligible voters can cast a meaningful vote that will be fairly counted. He shows how a constitutional right to vote can deescalate voting wars between political parties that lead to endless rounds of litigation and undermine voter confidence in elections, and can safeguard democracy against dangerous attempts at election subversion. 
     
     
     
    The path to a constitutional amendment is undoubtedly hard, especially in these polarized times. A Real Right to Vote explains what's in it for conservatives who have resisted voting reform, and reveals how the pursuit of an amendment can yield tangible dividends for democracy long before ratification.

    Political Rumors - Why We Accept...

    Political rumors and misinformation pollute the political landscape. This is not a recent phenomenon; before the currently rampant and unfounded rumors about a stolen election and vote-rigging, there were other rumors that continued to spread even after they were thoroughly debunked, including doubts about 9/11 (an "inside job") and the furor over President Obama's birthplace and birth certificate. If misinformation crowds out the truth, how can Americans communicate with one another about important issues? In this book, Adam Berinsky examines why political rumors exist and persist despite their unsubstantiated and refuted claims, who is most likely to believe them, and how to combat them. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on original survey and experimental data, Berinsky shows that a tendency toward conspiratorial thinking and vehement partisan attachment fuel belief in rumors. Berinsky argues that in fighting misinformation, it is as important to target the undecided and the uncertain as it is the true believers. In a world where most people don't pay attention to politics, political leaders are often guilty of disseminating false information—and failing to correct it when it is proven wrong. Berinsky suggests that we should focus on the messenger as much as the message. Just as important as how misinformation is debunked is who does the debunking.
