    The Space Race - The History of...

    Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration.  
    	Of all the goals the Bolshevik Revolution aimed to bring about, perhaps nowhere were Russian promises delivered on more than in the success of the Soviet Space program of the 1950s and 1960s. As a result of Russian innovation and technology, but also due to incredible drive to modernize and compete with the United States for world power, Russia was finally and triumphantly modernized in the eyes of her own people and the world. Neil deGrasse Tyson recognized the Soviet legacy in space in his Space Chronicles, citing the Soviets’ “important measure[s] of space achievement: first spacewalk, longest spacewalk, first woman in space, first docking in space, first space station, longest time logged in space.”[1] 
    	In fact, the Soviet Union spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). President Eisenhower and other Americans who could view Soviet rockets in the sky were justifiably worried that Soviet satellites in orbit could soon be spying on them, or, even worse, dropping nuclear bombs on them. Dovetailing off their success developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Soviets were the first to make enormous advances in actual space exploration.

    From the closing years of the nineteenth century, women received subtle—and not so subtle—messages that they shouldn't be in public. Or, if they were, that they were not safe. Breaking the Gender Code tells the story of both this danger narrative and the resistance to it. 
     
     
     
    Historian Georgina Hickey investigates challenges to the code of urban gender segregation in the twentieth century, focusing on organized advocacy to make the public spaces of American cities accessible to women. She traces waves of activism from the Progressive Era, with its calls for public restrooms, safe and accessible transportation, and public accommodations, through and beyond second-wave feminism, and its focus on the creation of alternative, women-only spaces and extensive anti-violence efforts. In doing so, Hickey explores how gender segregation intertwined with other systems of social control, as well as how class, race, and sexuality shaped activists' agendas and women's experiences of urban space. Drawing connections between the vulnerability of women in public spaces, real and presumed, and contemporary debates surrounding rape culture, bathroom bills, and domestic violence, Hickey unveils both the strikingly successful and the incomplete initiatives of activists who worked to open up public space to women.

    Why It's Normal to be a Mistress

    In Why It's Normal to be a Mistress, A.A. Castor offers a provocative exploration of the hidden dimensions of extramarital relationships, challenging the notion that infidelity is simply a moral failing. Drawing on evolutionary biology, cultural history, and personal narratives, Castor reveals how the mistress role has long been shaped by societal pressures, unspoken desires, and the human quest for emotional fulfillment. 
    Far from glamorizing betrayal, this book delves into the complexity of female sexuality and the psychological forces that drive some women to seek connection beyond conventional boundaries. Castor examines how arranged marriages, patriarchal norms, and changing social attitudes have historically paved the way for mistresses to emerge as both subjects of scandal and symbols of empowerment. By tracing these legacies, Why It's Normal to be a Mistress provides a nuanced understanding of why certain women repeatedly choose this path, even when it carries profound emotional and relational consequences. 
    Through empathetic storytelling and rigorous research, Castor dismantles the simplistic judgments that often dominate discussions about infidelity. Instead, the focus is on fostering a deeper awareness of the biological, psychological, and cultural underpinnings that shape human intimacy. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs about fidelity, desire, and self-expression, recognizing that genuine understanding does not equate to moral approval. Ultimately, this book offers a bold invitation to question long-held assumptions, expand our definitions of love and loyalty, and engage in a more honest, compassionate dialogue about the intricate tapestry of human relationships
