Sinopsis

In "My Own Story (Illustrated)," Emmeline Pankhurst presents an incisive and compelling narrative of her lifelong struggle for women's suffrage in early 20th-century Britain. Written in a straightforward, autobiographical style, the book is both a personal memoir and a political manifesto that chronicles the challenges faced by the suffragette movement. Illustrated with photographs and period illustrations, the text vividly captures the emotions, tensions, and fervor of an era marked by activism and social upheaval. Pankhurst's eloquence and passion illuminate her pivotal role in advocating for women's rights, reflecting the cultural context of the suffragette movement's emergence against the backdrop of a patriarchal society. Emmeline Pankhurst, a formidable leader and innovator, founded the Women'Äôs Social and Political Union (WSPU) and was instrumental in galvanizing public support for women's suffrage. Her personal experiences of oppression and her relentless pursuit of equality not only shaped her activism but also inspired countless others to join the movement. Pankhurst'Äôs commitment to direct action and civil disobedience was revolutionary, making her a key figure in the fight for women's rights in Britain and beyond. This illuminating memoir is not only essential for understanding the women'Äôs suffrage movement but also serves as an inspirational call to action for contemporary readers. Pankhurst's insights into sacrifice, resilience, and the quest for justice remain relevant today. "My Own Story" is a compelling read for anyone interested in history, gender studies, and the ongoing fight for equality.

    Seal in the Desert - Moving Past...

    When my late husband and I moved off-grid, we rented property. The previous owners had seals in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The seals clearly did not belong there. 
    You may be unaware that you are stuck, when you do not know better. 
    Our traumas are like building blocks that we use to create walls of a mental prison which effectively becomes the life that we know. 
    Often, the walls are so very clear that even we may not notice them. But our inner voice keeps telling us that we must escape to find where we belong. 
    The problem is that we don't know how to communicate it all to ourselves, let alone to our closest loved ones. 
    This book is about naming, claiming, and taming that feeling of being stuck. Hopefully it will help every seal to get out of the desert and find their ideal ocean. 
    Although this story is a tough one, it sheds a much needed light on emotional and mental abuse. I hope you enjoy this memoir in which healing and growing resilience triumph.

    The creators of the beloved podcast Good Moms Bad Choices challenge outdated notions of what being a “good” mother truly means—inviting moms of all kinds to embark on a healing journey that unlearns old scripts about motherhood and shows that you can be a little bad, and still do a lot of good for your kids and yourself. 
    They are everywhere on social media. Images of perfect, pleasant women with perfect, pretty children in perfect, tidy homes—the epitome of “good” moms. But this model of motherhood is an illusion that far too many women either measure themselves against or simply cannot relate to in the first place. Enter Jamilah Mapp and Erica Dickerson: if you are sex-positive, cannabis-friendly, and love sharing NSFW stories with your fellow mom friends, you’re not doing anything wrong and you are definitely not a bad mother. And Jamilah and Erica are your tribe. 
    These two best friends, single mothers, and creators of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast are here to remind every woman that you can be a good mom despite not fitting the “perfect mom” standard. In this much-needed book, part memoir, part guide, and part manifesto, they bring the refreshing honesty and down-to-earth humor of their podcast to the stories of their own journeys as mothers, offering women insight and tools they can use to recognize their own past traumas, find a way to healing, and break free from unrealistic expectations of what it means to be a good parent. 
    Jamilah and Erica take us through their own journeys as single mothers raising children, being in (and falling out of) relationships, making mom friends, and, ultimately, finding themselves as they learned to redefine motherhood on their own terms. Uncensored, unapologetic, empathetic, and no-holds-barred, A Good Mom’s Guide to Making Bad Choices takes an unconventional and much-needed approach to motherhood that recognizes that moms are vibrant, sexual, creative beings with needs and desires that deserve to be acknowledged and respected. It’s a breath of fresh air for all moms today.

    My Secret Life Vol 8 Chapter 4

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

    Even in the most horrifying places on earth, hope still lingers in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to take flight. 
     
     
     
    When war was declared Horace Greasley was just twenty-years old. After seven weeks' training with the 2/5th Battalion, the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, Horace found himself facing the might of the German Army in a muddy field south of Cherbourg, in northern France, with just thirty rounds in his ammunition pouch. 
     
     
     
    Horace's war didn't last long . . . On May 25, 1940 he was taken prisoner and so began the harrowing journey to a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland. Those who survived the grueling ten-week march to the camp were left broken and exhausted, all chance of escape seemingly extinguished. 
     
     
     
    But when Horace met Rosa, the daughter of one of his captors, his story changed; fate, it seemed, had thrown him a lifeline. Horace risked everything in order to steal out of the camp to see his love, bringing back supplies for his fellow prisoners. In doing so he offered hope to his comrades, and defiance to one of the most brutal regimes in history.

    Life is messy, brutal, hilarious, and breathtaking-and it's easy to forget how much love we need to survive it. This manifesto is a bold reminder. Y'akoto writes with raw honesty, dark humor, and unapologetic truth, pulling from her own journey as an artist, outsider, and fighter for self-acceptance. 
    The World Needs More Love is not a self-help manual. It's a creative manifesto. A call to arms. A book that speaks to everyone who has ever felt out of place, broken, or exhausted-and still chooses to love life anyway. 
    Through sharp insights and fearless storytelling, Y'akoto dismantles illusions about money, confidence, family, friendship, solitude, and survival. She reveals how love-toward yourself, toward others, toward the simple act of being alive-can be the most radical form of resistance in a world that thrives on fear and distraction. 
    If you've ever craved a book that feels like talking to a brutally honest friend over a glass of wine, this is it. 
    Daring. Reflective. Unfiltered. 
    This is your reminder that staying in love with life is the most rebellious thing you can do.
