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.

A Rare Recording of F Scott...

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Battleground - 10 Conflicts that...

Christopher Phillips

The essential guide to geopolitics in the modern Middle East 
 
 
  
The Middle East is in crisis. The shocking events of the war in Gaza have rocked the entire region. More than a decade ago, the Arab Spring had raised hopes of a new beginning but instead ushered in a series of civil wars, coups, and even harsher autocracies. Tensions were exacerbated by the meddling of outsiders, as regional and global powers sought to further their interests. The United States, for so long the dominant actor, had stepped back, leaving a vacuum behind it to be fought over. 
 
 
  
Christopher Phillips explores geopolitical rivalries in the region, and the major external powers vying for influence: Russia, China, the European Union, and the United States. Moving through ten key flashpoints, from Syria to Palestine, Phillips argues that the United States' overextension after the Cold War, and retreat in the 2010s, has imbalanced the region. Today, the Middle East remains blighted by conflicts of unprecedented violence and a post-American scramble for power—leaving its fate in the balance.

For the Boys - The True Account...

N.C.R. Davis

A month after her 24th birthday, Lt. Mary Elizabeth Balster collapses among the rubble of a shelled supply room. On the night of November 30, 1944, holed up in the Heinrich Himmler Barracks in Morhange, France, Lt. Balster's evac receives a typical patient load, but this time one of the admissions is a 19-year-old tanker she'd nursed back to health five months before in Normandy. The charge nurse on Surgical gently informs the lieutenant that the private is critical. Rising determined to save him, Balster limps toward the shelled supply room determined to search for any blood plasma bottles still intact. 
 
 
 
Recaptured from her mother's reminiscences and letters home, N. C. R. Davis takes listeners through every heat-of-battle harrowing moment as Balster lived it, achieving a rare glimpse of one nurse's point of view during the latter part of the European conflict. 
 
 
 
The book mixes Lt. Balster's observations, memories, and dreams to tell the story of a richly rebellious woman trying to navigate her life while nursing wounded and dying frontline soldiers. Her strong-willed, beguiling personality fosters the grit necessary for her success as a combat nurse, but these same characteristics cause two men to fall in love with her. And the personal cost of war comes to a heartrending conclusion, as she must choose one man over the other.

From Normandy to the Rhine - The...

Sage Winters

The liberation of Western Europe in the Second World War remains one of the most significant military campaigns in history. The Allied push from Normandy to the Rhine marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany, culminating in its eventual surrender in May 1945. However, the path to victory was neither smooth nor inevitable. It was a campaign marked by intense fighting, strategic challenges, and the determination of soldiers from across the globe.
Following the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, the Allies sought to free France from German occupation and drive Nazi forces back toward Germany. The operation, which involved an unprecedented amphibious invasion, was a turning point in the war. The success of the landings, despite the heavy losses, opened a second front in Europe, forcing Hitler to divert critical resources away from the Eastern Front, where the Soviet Union was steadily advancing. Yet, the Allies’ victory was not guaranteed, as German forces, though weakening, still posed formidable resistance.
The Battle of Normandy, with its brutal fighting in the hedgerows and small villages, proved to be just the beginning. The Allies encountered fierce opposition as they pushed eastward through France. While the liberation of Paris in August 1944 was a symbol of hope, it came with its own set of challenges. The need to secure vital supply lines, adapt to changing battle conditions, and coordinate across multiple national forces created both logistical and strategic headaches.
