Synopsis

In "The Homes of the New World," Fredrika Bremer offers a vivid exploration of American society in the mid-19th century, intertwining her keen observations with rich descriptive narrative. Written during her travels through the United States, Bremer delves into the lives of various social classes and communities, detailing their domestic lives, cultural practices, and the evolving notion of the American dream. Her prose reflects a blend of romanticism and realism, capturing both the idyllic and the tumultuous aspects of life in the New World, serving as a pivotal commentary on the societal changes occurring during this dynamic period in history. Fredrika Bremer was a Swedish novelist and feminist, whose perceptive insights were shaped by her progressive views on gender roles and social equality. Bremer's own experiences navigating societal constraints as a woman led her to champion issues regarding women's rights and societal reform, influencing her lens as she examined American life. Her travels were not merely geographical but also a quest for understanding the cultural implications of the New World, allowing her to juxtapose European traditions with the burgeoning American identity. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, culture, or women's studies, offering a unique perspective on the intersections of gender, class, and societal values. Bremer's narrative is not only informative but evocative, inviting readers into a rich tapestry of experiences that continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about identity and community.

    Females are the recipients of rivalrous behaviors from other women, consistently. It’s what people frequently call a “cat-fight,” or “women being dramatic” it isn’t pretty. It can be raw, ugly, confusing, and very painful. Female rivalry is boundless. As a result, there is a hunger for this topic, to better understand it, to curb the behavior, to dive into the misconceptions and reality that it’s not just a cat-fight. It’s much more than that. It’s a silent epidemic. Women who are recipients of this type of behavior often don’t speak about their experience until it is behind them, or near to being over. Silent in the fact that there is often awareness by others about the behavior, but traditionally it’s not dealt with until after the fact, if ever.  Behind Frenemy Lines is a practical guide to help women find their peace, explore how they trust, establish true connections and know they are not alone when they are experiencing these types of behaviors. By sharing personal and relatable stories, Behind Frenemy Lines addresses the raw ugliness of female rivalry head on. It offers tips with structure to educate and help women connect with one another about the seriousness of the phenomenon so that they can forge relationships that help them be unstoppable, together.

    Helene Munson resurrects her father’s WWII journals and embarks on a meticulous investigation, exposing how the Nazis trained 300,000 impressionable children as soldiers. In 1937, Munson’s father, Hans, was enrolled in an elite German school whose students were destined to take leadership roles in the Reich. At fifteen, he was drafted as an antiaircraft gunner—along with the rest of the Hitler Youth—and assigned to an SS unit. As the war was being lost, Hans and his schoolmates were ordered to the front lines. Few returned. A personal lens into a nation’s shameful past, Hitler’s Boy Soldiers documents the history of the largest army of child soldiers in recent memory. Munson explores the lifelong effects on brainwashed children coerced to join a party they didn’t understand. Both a modern narrative and an important historical contribution, Hitler’s Boy Soldiers grapples with inherited trauma, the nature of being victim or perpetrator, and the burden of guilt.
