Summary

"Civic Inclusion" examines the often-overlooked history of women's civic engagement and leadership, revealing their crucial role in shaping communities and influencing policy. Despite facing historical exclusion and systemic barriers, women persistently redefined civic duty and transformed political and social participation. The book highlights how women navigated legal limitations, cultural expectations, and gender biases to actively shape society. 

 
The book demonstrates that women's involvement was not merely integration but a transformative process. It showcases their persistent advocacy and innovative organizing to expand civic action, addressing previously marginalized issues. For example, women's grassroots movements and coalition-building reshaped community norms and paved the way for future generations of women leaders.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first establishes the historical context, then delves into case studies of women's activism, and finally assesses the long-term impact of their civic engagement on policymaking and social change. This book offers a unique perspective by emphasizing the transformative power of women's participation, not just their integration into existing structures. It uses a mixed-methods approach, combining historical narratives with quantitative assessments to provide a comprehensive analysis of women's rights, social change, and the ongoing struggle for inclusive governance.

    Reality and relative reality are two completely different things. The second is what we perceive with our senses and brain. Imagine now that between these two, there are other levels of understanding that if we manage and activate them, we do not reach the perception of absolute reality. Still, at least we have a better picture of what is happening.Such a level is offered to us by metaphysics, but we have to pay special attention to it because many illusions often enter it. But this level, which I personally refer to as the level of every day’s metaphysics, is a relatively accessible way of understanding the truth that relativity once again encompasses our level of understanding.The collection of articles enclosed in this doctrine seeks, as honestly as possible, to take a look at the events that characterize the metaphysical veil of relative reality to assist the contemporary researcher in the more global perception of the individual and the world

    ""There are many women like Belén whose names we don’t know, but whose stories are just as important. An uplifting chronicle of one woman’s fight for justice.""—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
Foreword by Margaret Atwood 
The heartbreaking true story of an Argentinian woman imprisoned for having a miscarriage—an injustice that galvanized a feminist movement and became a global rallying cry in the fight for reproductive rights. 
In 2014, Belén, a twenty-five-year-old woman living in rural Argentina, went to the hospital for a stomachache—and soon found herself in prison. While at the hospital she had a miscarriage—without knowing she was pregnant. Because of the nation’s repressive laws surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, the doctors were forced to report her to the authorities. Despite her protestations, Belén was convicted and sentenced to two years for homicide. 
Belén’s imprisonment is a glaring example of how women’s health care has become increasingly criminalized, putting the most vulnerable—BIPOC, rural, and low-income—women at greater risk of prosecution. Belén’s cause became the centerpiece of a movement to achieve greater protections for all women. After two failed attempts to clear her name, Belén met feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who quickly rallied Amnesty International and ignited an international feminist movement around #niunamas—not one more—symbolized by thousands of demonstrators around the globe donning white masks, the same kind of mask Belén wore when leaving prison. The #niunamas movement was instrumental in pressuring Argentine president Alberto Fernández to decriminalize abortion in 2021.  
In this gripping and personal account of the case and its impact on local law, Ana Correa, one of Argentina’s leading journalists and activists, makes clear that what happened to Belén could happen to any woman—and that we all have the power to raise our collective voices and demand change.

    YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! 
Those people to whom you compare yourself are every bit as superior as you believe them to be. They belong there. They know more than you. Your achievements don't count. And you're just not that clever. 
Why bother? Give up. Go home...before you get found out. 
Sound familiar? 
This is how you speak to yourself if you think you're going to be found out and thrown out of your workplace. 
This is how you speak to yourself when you think you're a phoney...but all of the evidence says otherwise. 
This is how you speak to yourself when you're suffering from the Imposter Phenomenon. 
My own thoughts of the Imposter Phenomenon almost made me quit before I got started. I almost gave up on my career before there ever was one. I almost gave up on myself. 
In You Are (Not) a Fraud, I invite you to come with me as I share some of the hidden data behind the Imposter Phenomenon. Come with me as I tell you the stories that can help you understand that it's NOT the Imposter 'Syndrome'! 
We can all understand what true imposters are. 
We can all understand how to be mindful of useless comparisons we make between ourselves and other people. 
We can all understand how the Imposter Phenomenon might always be there...but it should never stop you doing exactly what you want to do. 
This is not an imposter syndrome book. It's the book that will help you to ditch the term 'imposter syndrome' forever...

    As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
 
 
 
Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

    The Case Of Wagner Nietzsche...

    What happens when a philosopher declares war on an artist who once inspired him? 
In this provocative collection, Friedrich Nietzsche - iconoclast, poet of ideas, and architect of modern existentialism - turns his formidable intellect against Richard Wagner, the composer he once revered. The result is a searing psychological and aesthetic autopsy of genius, decadence, and the struggle between art and truth. 
Nietzsche’s voice echoes through the ages in The Case of Wagner, a charged and theatrical critique of Wagner’s music, values, and legacy. In Nietzsche Contra Wagner, he deepens the attack, dissecting the moral, cultural, and personal tensions between their divergent paths. The Selected Aphorisms that follow offer piercing reflections on music, morality, truth, and the human spirit—each a spark in Nietzsche’s incendiary philosophy. 
Written in his unmistakable style - ironic, lyrical, ruthless—these texts mark the culmination of a fractured friendship and the birth of a new philosophical vision. They embody the turmoil of a thinker who challenged the foundations of Western culture, and whose ideas continue to resonate in debates on art, identity, and modernity. 
Now brought to life in a clear, refined AI narration, this audiobook offers a crisp and immersive experience - faithful to the cadence and clarity Nietzsche’s work demands. Whether you are a longtime admirer or a curious newcomer, this journey into Nietzsche’s thought will provoke, challenge, and awaken. 
Enter the mind of one of history’s most fearless thinkers - press play, and confront the beautiful chaos within.
