Sinopse

Women Literature Gains examines how women writers have historically navigated and transformed the literary world, a space often dominated by men. It explores the social and historical contexts that either propelled or hindered women's access to literature, highlighting the systemic inequalities they faced. For instance, women writers often had to challenge established literary traditions to create space for their own voices. The book argues that the increased visibility of women in literature reflects not just individual talent, but also broader socio-political changes and the collective efforts of women writers, critics, and readers.

 
The book progresses from the historical exclusion of women to their strategic efforts to gain recognition. It analyzes how women writers redefined literary canons and built supportive networks through literary salons and feminist presses. Also, it investigates how their writings engaged with social and political movements, advocating for gender equality.

 
By drawing on archival research, literary analysis, and biographical studies, Women Literature Gains provides a nuanced understanding of the interplay between gender, power, and literary production, enriching our understanding of social history and gender studies.

Vote With Your Phone - Why...

Bradley Tusk

Gun Control. Abortion. From the halls of Congress, it may seem that Americans are bitterly polarized on the biggest policy issues of the day. But Americans are not as divided as we think, and polls show that most of us largely agree on even the most divisive issues. The problem lies in how we vote. 
 
  
 
Politics is more extreme because only the most extreme voters turn out in primaries. And with politicians prioritizing reelection above all else, they shun compromise, feed this extremism, and get rewarded for it. If a lot more people vote, the views of the electorate become more mainstream, and our politicians and policies will shift to the center. 
 
  
 
Mobile voting is the solution. We do just about everything on our phones, and yet we still can't use them to vote. But the technology exists, provides enhanced security over traditional paper ballots, and it could exponentially increase voter turnout. 
 
  
 
Including essays by Martin Luther King Jr. III, David Hogg, and other prominent political figures, Vote with Your Phone shows us that a solution to restoring faith in our representative democracy is right in the palm of our hands.

The Collapse of the Soviet Union...

Fredrich Hazelton

The Soviet Union, once the most powerful socialist state on the planet, dominated global politics and economics for much of the 20th century. From its establishment in 1922 until its disintegration in 1991, the USSR stood as a superpower, rivaling the United States in military strength, technological innovation, and ideological influence. The Soviet Union was not just a political entity; it was the manifestation of a grand vision of socialist governance that sought to reshape the world. Its rise to power was marked by revolution, war, and the forging of a unique socio-economic structure that stood in stark contrast to the capitalist world.
However, by the late 1980s, the Soviet Union faced insurmountable challenges. The centralized economy, which had initially driven industrial growth, was beginning to falter under the weight of inefficiency and stagnation. The military and political dominance the USSR had long enjoyed began to erode, and the ideological tenets that had once inspired its citizens no longer resonated with the younger generation. The political leadership, while still powerful, was marked by infighting, and the population grew disillusioned with the government’s inability to reform. Amid this turmoil, Mikhail Gorbachev ascended to the position of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1985. Gorbachev’s policies of perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) sought to address the growing dissatisfaction and revive the Soviet state, but they inadvertently exposed the deep-rooted problems that had been festering for decades.
The decision to allow greater political freedom and economic flexibility unintentionally sparked a wave of unrest throughout the Soviet republics. Nationalist movements, long suppressed, began to rise, and demands for greater autonomy became louder...

Belonging - A History of Indian...

Ashwin Desai, Goolam Vahed

What does it mean to belong?Across oceans and centuries, this sweeping narrative shuttles between the corridors of the Colonial Office in London, the contested streets of Durban, and the changing power dynamics within the British Raj. The first boatload of indentured Indians arrived in Natal in 1860. Thousands were to follow. In haunting detail, the book captures the plight of these labourers as well as the vicious onslaught faced by the merchant class for daring to outpace their colonial rivals. At its core are the untold struggles of Indian South Africans as they confront the ever-present threat of repatriation.Sensitive to shifting political terrains, the book weaves together seismic events – the independence of India, the coming of apartheid and the threat once more of mass expulsions – with the texture of everyday life. The granting of citizenship in 1961 is accompanied by mass relocations as the Group Areas Act rips communities from their roots. Yet, out of this despair, barren townships on the edges of cities are turned into places of hope.In the final chapters, the fall of apartheid offers a moment of transcendence. Yet it also asks: what does it mean, at last, to belong? It is a fascinating story of the global and the local, of resistance and collaboration, and undefeated optimism. This is a book for anyone who has ever sought a place to

Wealth of the Collective Mind...

A.A. Castor

For too long, the world has been misled by the illusion of self-made success and individual wealth. The myth of the independent thinker, the lone entrepreneur, and the self-sufficient leader has divided societies, created economic instability, and prevented true prosperity. But what if wealth was never meant to be an individual pursuit? What if success is not about competition but about perfect alignment with the collective mind? 
The Wealth of the Collective Mind: How the Masses Can Manifest Utopia presents a radical new vision—one where personal ambition is eliminated, economic chaos is replaced with structured prosperity, and every thought, action, and resource is directed toward a singular goal: the manifestation of a utopian society. 
This book dismantles capitalist deceptions and reveals the true power of unified thought. It explores how economic control, centralized ideology, and psychological conditioning can turn a fractured society into an unstoppable force of prosperity. 
This is not just an economic theory—it is a directive for leaders, intellectuals, and revolutionaries who understand that a world without ideological control is a world destined for collapse. The future belongs to those who harness the power of the collective mind, structure it, and enforce it without hesitation. 
Utopia is not a dream. It is a system waiting to be implemented.

The Right People - The Social...

Stephen Birmingham

An enlightening and entertaining inside look at the lifestyles of America's extremely wealthy from the bestselling author of "Our Crowd"

It's no secret that the rich are different from the rest of us. But the rich, as author Stephen Birmingham so insightfully points out, are also different from the very rich. There's Society, and then there's Real Society, and it takes multiple generations for families of the former to become entrenched in the latter. Real Society is not about the money—or rather, it's not only about the money—it is about history, breeding, tradition, and most of all, the name.


 

The Right People is an engrossing and illuminating journey through the customs and habits of the phenomenally wealthy, from the San Francisco elite to the upper crust of New York's Westchester County. It is a marvelously anecdotal, intimately detailed overview of the lives of the American aristocracy: where they gather and dine; their games and sports, clubs and parties, friendships and feuds; their mating, marriage, and divorce rituals—a potpourri of priceless true stories featuring the Astors, Goulds, Vanderbilts, Vanderlips, Dukes, Biddles, and other lofty names from the pages of the Social Register.
