Votes for Women - A Play in Three Acts

Elizabeth Robins

Sinopsis

In "Votes for Women," Elizabeth Robins presents a compelling exploration of the suffragette movement, weaving together dramatic narratives with incisive political commentary. The play, written in the early 20th century, utilizes a realist style that reflects the fervent debates surrounding women's rights and the fight for suffrage in Britain. Robins skillfully employs dialogue to showcase the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs of women as they challenge societal norms, thus situating the work within a crucial literary context that mirrors the broader cultural upheaval of the time. The play not only serves as a catalyst for conversation but also as a poignant reminder of the historical struggle for gender equality. Elizabeth Robins, an American-born writer and actress, became an influential figure in the British suffrage movement through her literary contributions and activism. Her experiences in the theater and her close association with suffragists enriched her understanding of the struggle for women's rights, motivating her passionate portrayal of the issue in her work. This dual identity as both artist and activist informs the depth and urgency present in "Votes for Women," imbuing it with authentic emotional resonance. This significant play is highly recommended for readers interested in feminist literature, social activism, and the intersection of art and politics. Robins'Äô work not only captures the spirit of her time but also invites contemporary reflections on the ongoing quest for gender equality, making it a vital read for anyone engaged in discussions about women's rights.

The Dismissive Avoidant...

Ph.D. Dr. Christine Chin-Sim

As a relationship and life coach, I’ve seen firsthand how entrenched ways of behaving, as a result of childhood trauma, can result in toxic and unhealthy relationships. These unhealthy relationships can leave one or both partners bruised and battered from chronic emotional abuse. Many become closed-off toward any prospect of having their heart ripped out, from yet another toxic relationship. Others, find themselves having the same types of relationship with different partners and asking the question, “Why do I keep attracting the same man/woman over and over again?” 
As children, our experiences dictated how we attached to our caregivers. Unfortunately, how we attach to our caregivers, have also proven to be an indicator of how we now experience our close adult relationships; especially romantic ones. 
In this book, I will be focusing on the Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style, and how this style of attachment now dictates how this individual interacts with their significant others in romantic relationships. 
Attachment styles affect every type of relationship, however, the effects are further magnified in romantic relationships, because of the lack of emotional intelligence and depth, this attachment style is challenged with. 
In this book, you will learn how to identify the dismissive avoidant attachment style individual, some of the challenges they face in their relationships, and finally, given you some tools (exercises) to help move you toward a more secure way of experiencing relationships.

Counting: Humans History and the...

Benjamin Wardhaugh

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COUNT? WHY ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES ON EARTH THAT CAN DO IT? WHERE DID COUNTING COME FROM? HOW HAS IT SHAPED SOCIETIES ALONG THE WAY? AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting.
Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ’ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers.
Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself
This best non-fiction book by Wardhaugh is a deep dive into the philosophy and technology behind counting. His teaching style and comprehensive study of mathematics make this book a standout in its genre.
For fans of David Spiegelhalter (The Art of Uncertainty), Cat Bohannon (Eve), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Anne Applebaum (Autocracy, Inc), and Peter Frankopan (The New Silk Roads).

Soldiers - A Global History of...

John A Haymond

A global study of how soldiers lived, worked, and fought, and how many died, spanning from the Napoleonic War to World War II. No matter the war, no matter the army, no matter the nationality, common threads run through the experiences of men at war. Soldiers highlights these shared experiences across 150 years of warfare, from the Napoleonic Wars through World War II and everything in between, such as the Mexican and Crimean Wars, the American Civil War, the U.S. Indian Wars and Britain’s imperial bush wars, the Boxer Rebellion, the Boer War, the First World War, and more. Haymond explores the experiences that connect soldiers across time and space and draws heavily from firsthand accounts to craft a narrative with flesh-and-blood immediacy. Soldiers is entertaining and informative: history at its best. Praise for Soldiers“What makes Soldiers an interesting read is Haymond’s writing style and technique of comparing the common experiences of fighting men regardless of uniform and time served during the period.... Highly recommended for both scholars and students alike. It is a must for readers interested in the experience and psychology of being a warrior during this period.”—Military Review: The Professional Journal of the United States Army
