  A Vindication of the Rights of...

  "I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."
  
  At a time when women were viewed as mere decorative ornaments or domestic servants, Mary Wollstonecraft issued a radical call for change. In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she challenges the educational and social systems of the 18th century that kept women in a state of "perpetual childhood." She argues that women are rational beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men, and that a truly just society can only exist when both sexes are equally educated. Bold, fiery, and profoundly logical, this work laid the intellectual groundwork for the suffrage movements that would follow a century later.
  
  
  
  
  The Power of Education: Wollstonecraft's central argument is that the "frivolity" of women in her time was a product of a culture that only valued them for their beauty. By advocating for a national system of co-education, she envisioned a world where women could be independent, contributing members of society and "rational companions" to their partners.
  
  A Revolutionary Spirit: Written as a response to political theorists who excluded women from the "rights of man," this book is a masterpiece of Enlightenment thought. Wollstonecraft applies the principles of liberty and equality to the domestic sphere, demanding that justice begin at home.
  
  Why It Is Essential Today: As the mother of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley and a pioneer in her own right, Wollstonecraft's voice remains a powerful reminder of the struggle for self-sovereignty. Her work continues to inspire anyone fighting for the right to think, learn, and live freely.

  How the US policy of competition with China is detrimental to democracy, peace, and prosperity—and how a saner approach is possible 
   
   
    
  For close to a decade, the US government has been preoccupied with the threat of China, fearing that the country will "eat our lunch," in the words of Joe Biden. The United States has crafted its foreign and domestic policy to help constrain China's military power and economic growth. Van Jackson and Michael Brenes argue that great-power competition with China is misguided and vastly underestimates the costs and risks that geopolitical rivalry poses to economic prosperity, the quality of democracy, and, ultimately, global stability. 
   
   
    
  This in-depth assessment of the trade-offs and pitfalls of protracted competition with China reveals how such a policy exacerbates inequality, leads to xenophobia, and increases the likelihood of violence around the world. In addition, it distracts from the priority of addressing such issues as climate change while at the same time undercutting democratic pluralism and sacrificing liberty in the name of prevailing against an enemy "other." Jackson and Brenes provide an informed and urgent critique of current US foreign policy and a road map toward a saner, more democratically accountable strategy of easing tension and achieving effective diplomacy.
