Sinopse

In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman offers a pioneering exploration of the intersection between gender roles and economic structures, challenging the prevailing societal norms of her time. Written in a compelling and accessible style, the book critiques the economic dependency imposed on women and emphasizes the necessity for their independence and active participation in the workforce. Gilman's arguments are underpinned by a socialist feminist perspective, intertwining social theory with practical implications, and situating her work within the late 19th-century context of the women's suffrage movement. Her eloquence and clarity highlight not only the moral imperatives for gender equality but also advocate for systemic changes that recognize women as essential contributors to the economy. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an influential figure in feminist literature and activism, wrote this work during a period of great upheaval regarding women'Äôs rights. Her own experiences, including a troubling marriage and subsequent mental health struggles, informed her passionate advocacy for women'Äôs autonomy and economic self-sufficiency. Gilman's background in sociology and her keen insights into societal norms shaped her vision, positioning her as a formidable voice in both literary and social reform circles. "Women and Economics" is essential reading for anyone interested in gender studies, economics, or social reform. Gilman'Äôs incisive analysis not only resonates with contemporary discussions on gender equality but also serves as a historical document illustrating the ongoing struggle for women'Äôs rights. Readers will find that her arguments compel a reevaluation of traditional notions about women's roles in society, offering profound insights that remain relevant today.

    The story of how English became American—and how it became Southern, Bostonian, Californian, African American, Chicano, elite, working-class, urban, rural, and everything in between 
     
     
     
    By the time of the Revolution, the English that Americans spoke was recognizably different from the British variety. Americans added dozens of new words to the language, either borrowed from Native Americans (raccoon, persimmon, caucus) or created from repurposed English (backwoods, cane brake, salt lick). Americans had their own pronunciations (bath rhymed with hat, not hot) and their own spelling (honor, not honour), not to mention a host of new expressions that grew out of the American landscape and culture (blaze a trail, back track, pull up stakes). Americans even invented their own slang, like stiff as a ringbolt to mean drunk. American English has continued to grow and change ever since. 
     
     
     
    The United States of English tells the engrossing tale of how the American language evolved over four hundred years, explaining both how and why it changed and which parts of the "mother tongue" it preserved (I guess was heard in the British countryside long before it became a typical Americanism). Plentiful examples of the American vernacular, past and present, bring the language to life and make for an engaging as well as enlightening listen.

    The Art of Advocacy in Singapore

    Advocacy is a tricky pursuit in Singapore. Your motives can be questioned, your activities monitored, and your scope for action limited.  Despite the constraints, civil society activists have persisted, finding ways to pursue their cause and to try to bring about the changes they believe important for Singapore. 
     
     
    In 2013 a small group of civil society stalwarts set out to acknowledge the contributions of these unsung heroes. The Singapore Advocacy Awards was launched, a 3-year project that saw a total of 18 individuals and organisations being honoured. 
     
     
    In this book, 37 activists, many of them winners of the Awards, write about their causes and discuss the strategies shaped and lessons learnt as they practise the delicate art of advocacy in Singapore. Reflecting the nature of civil society, there is a diversity of voices.  Some give a more personal account, while others describe the institutional experience of advocacy work. Some essays are short and sweet, others long and detailed. They appear ordered alphabetically by the cause.

    In various aspects of life, we are all forced to deal with the common obstacle of having to deal with difficult individuals. For instance, difficult coworkers or bosses at work might contribute to an unfavorable work environment, reduce productivity, and even impact happiness at work. Personal connections can be strained, stressful, and filled with conflict when difficult friends or family members are involved. It is possible to improve the quality of our lives as well as the lives of those who are close to us by becoming more skilled at navigating difficult social encounters. 
    One of the most crucial skills for one's own personal growth and development is the capacity to deal with difficult people. In order for us to learn how to deal with difficult people, we need to develop abilities such as active listening, empathy, assertiveness, and the ability to resolve conflicts. These abilities not only make it easier for us to deal with difficult people, but they also make it possible for us to become better communicators as well as more efficient leaders. 
    The capacity to concentrate on what the other person is saying without interrupting or becoming distracted is an essential component of active listening. This ability allows us to understand the perspective and feelings of the other person, which is critical for developing empathy and trust for one another.
