Summary

H. L. Mencken's 'In Defense of Women' is a provocative and insightful examination of the societal perceptions and treatment of women in the early 20th century. Written in Mencken's trademark sharp wit and keen observations, the book challenges traditional gender roles and stereotypes, calling for a reexamination of the roles and rights of women in society. Mencken's literary style is both engaging and controversial, as he fearlessly tackles taboo subjects with a touch of humor and a critical eye. 'In Defense of Women' stands out in the literary context of its time for its bold and progressive views on gender equality and feminism, making it a pioneering work in the field. H. L. Mencken, known for his sharp intellect and biting commentary on American culture and politics, was driven to write this book as a response to the prevailing attitudes towards women in society. His passion for social justice and his commitment to challenging the status quo shine through in this thought-provoking work. I highly recommend 'In Defense of Women' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of gender relations and the fight for equality, as Mencken's timeless insights remain relevant and inspiring.

Oliver Cromwell is one of the most important men in England’s history, but everything he struggled for collapsed within two decades of his death. The army, Parliament and the citizens of London grappled with each other for control of the country, and even the army no longer remained a united political force. Civil war almost broke out again as a force under Lambert failed to prevent General Monck, the military governor of Scotland, from marching south and dissolving the Rump Parliament. Excluded MPs were restored on condition that they themselves dissolve Parliament, and following fresh elections without military intervention, a new Parliament met on April 25, 1660. Dominated by Presbyterians and Royalists, it accepted a settlement offered by the man titling himself Charles II, the son and heir of Charles I. On May 25, 1660, Charles II returned to England, and less than two years after Cromwell’s death, his work was undone by the Restoration. King Charles II heaped ignominy upon defeat by having Cromwell’s body dug up and posthumously executed. Cromwell’s body was then decapitated, as was Ireton’s, and their heads were placed on a pike above Westminster Hall, where Charles I had been tried, for several years.  
	Despite the Restoration, however, and despite the fact England’s republican experiment barely outlasted Cromwell, the Commonwealth and Restoration were hugely important in asserting the power of Parliament, and it permanently shifted England’s political balance firmly towards a constitutional monarchy limited by Parliament. The Stuart monarchy was restored on condition of compromise with Parliament and the army, and a precedent had been set for Parliament to replace the monarch, a precedent it would follow in the 1680s when James II was replaced by William and Mary in a settlement that set even more limits around the monarch.

Canadian Monsters and Mysteries will take the listener deep into the mysterious north where mammoths may still roam the frozen tundra while the Manwolf, loup-garou, and Waheela stalk the dense woodland and mysterious valleys. The many lakes of Canada are home to an astounding variety of aquatic cryptids while the skies house everything from Mothman-like creatures to UFOs. Phantom ships sail the waters of lakes and oceans alike as shadow people haunt the nights of those who remain indoors. 
 
 
 
Canadian Monsters and Mysteries explores all these topics and more. Join author W. T. Watson on this tour of high strangeness in the Great White North.
