Sinossi

In "Lady Byron Vindicated," Harriet Beecher Stowe crafts a compelling narrative that fiercely defends Lady Byron against the allegations of her character by her estranged husband, Lord Byron. Through a combination of thorough research, personal letters, and emotive prose, Stowe not only reconstructs the tumultuous relationship between the Byronic couple but situates it within the broader contexts of gender, honor, and societal expectation in the 19th century. Her literary style embodies the sentimentalism prevalent in her era while also incorporating elements of feminist thought, making it a powerful critique of the patriarchal structures that shape women's lives. Harriet Beecher Stowe, renowned for her groundbreaking novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was a prominent abolitionist and advocate for women's rights. Her own experiences with the injustices faced by women and marginalized individuals inform her portrayal of Lady Byron as a victim of circumstance and societal scorn. Stowe's exploration of personal integrity versus public perception reflects her commitment to social reform and her belief in the moral imperatives of justice and truth. This book is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of feminist literature and historical biographies. Stowe's meticulous examination of Lady Byron's life not only reclaims her from the shadows of history but also resonates with contemporary discussions on women's rights and social equity. Readers will find themselves challenged and inspired by this eloquent plea for justice.

    This program is read by the author.The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first audiobook by podcast star Drew Afualo. With a new afterword from the author!Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves.Afualo has amassed more than nine million followers across her social platforms. When she first started creating content in 2020, she realized that men on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other apps were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.

    The name Deleuze is associated with strange concepts (desiring machines, ritornello, war machine or lines of flight). However, these impressive notions can be explained simply, once we have the intuition that organizes his work. This work gives us access to an understanding of the thread that ties Deleuze's thought together, particularly through literary characters such as Bartleby, Lancelot and the Princess of Cleves. Deleuze thus appears as non-dogmatic, himself open to variation and to the invention of a multiplicity of possible meanings of life.
