  Women In Council

  Aristophanes

  In Women in Council, also known as The Assemblywomen, Aristophanes presents a sharp and satirical exploration of gender roles, politics, and social reform in ancient Athens. The play follows Praxagora, a bold and clever woman, who leads a plot to grant women control over the city-state by disguising them as men and infiltrating the Athenian assembly. Once in power, they implement a radical utopia based on shared wealth, communal living, and equal relationships between the sexes. However, the new order quickly reveals its absurdities and contradictions through comic misunderstandings, ironic reversals, and exaggerated scenarios. Blending biting satire with philosophical critique, Aristophanes challenges contemporary views on governance, justice, and human nature while mocking both the excesses of early socialist ideals and the failures of Athenian democracy. A provocative and humorous commentary on society’s enduring struggle with equality and authority.

  How I Planned Your Wedding: The All-True Story of a Mother and Daughter Surviving the Happiest Day of Their Lives    
  Bestselling author Susan Wiggs literally wrote the book on happily-ever-after love. But orchestrating her daughter Elizabeth's real-world wedding turned into a different story altogether, and one that takes two to tell—the mother and the bride.    
  Here is the all-too-true tale of a mother and daughter collaborating on life's ultimate celebration—a dream wedding. Often poignant, sometimes irreverent and always hilarious, this charming book is also packed with useful advice from both ends of the cupcake-tasting table. Join mother and daughter as they wade through the trenches of flowers and favors, grueling gown decisions…and the cold, cruel realities of a budget. With luck, love and loads of patience, they come out on the other side, bloodied but unbowed, replete with life lessons—and closer than ever before.

  "I am writing this grief journal at the repeated advice of my therapist. I'm writing it to myself, as my own reader. I hate readers. Mostly because I hate myself." 
   
   
   
  You could say Kyle Jr. grew up in a dysfunctional family. That'd be an understatement. His mother's wealthy family disinherited her for marrying the working-class Kyle Sr., and she's never forgiven him (or KJ) for that. 
   
   
   
  When his father's suicide turns his life upside down, KJ fills his therapist-recommended grief journal with plenty of sarcasm, excerpts from sweary, punny high-school short stories, and fourth-wall-breaking asides. Through all the bravado and swagger, a portrait emerges of a young man confronting a dark past with genuine compassion and keen insight. He's determined to reconcile with its legacy—and to survive.

  Meet Finch. Enthusiastic tourist, cocktail lover, not yet wise to the ways of the galaxy. 
  Finch is a young avian on a mission to see the galaxy. There's plenty of danger out there on strange planets and in pirate-infested shipping lanes. Granny's old guide book from her travels a century earlier may be helpful - or could it lead Finch into mortal peril? 
  The round-the-galaxy tour is a rite of passage for every young avian as they approach their adult moult. Most youngsters do the rounds of the most popular sights and tick off the standard bucket list of experiences. Finch wants to follow the road less travelled, but deviating from the usual itinerary has its risks. Are avians safe in the wider galaxy? 
  Finch's brushes with feather smugglers and an apocalypse cult bent on destruction only serve to increase their thirst for adventure. Where will life, luck and Granny's guidebook take them? 
  Finch started life in a serious non-fiction book as a little character arriving on a new planet. They've appeared in several short stories over the years, but there are more adventures to recount. The Travels of Finch includes these earlier adventures and introduces brand new destinations, challenges and scrapes for your favourite avian - and the mysterious octopus barman.
