Beschreibung

In "Six Modern Women: Psychological Sketches," Laura Marholm meticulously explores the intricate psyches of six contemporary female figures against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th century societal norms. Through a blend of vivid narrative and sharp psychological insight, each sketch delves deep into the characters'Äô struggles with identity, autonomy, and the constraints placed upon them by a patriarchal society. Marholm'Äôs literary style fuses elements of realism with psychological analysis, revealing her deft ability to illuminate the inner lives of her subjects while critiquing the prevailing conventions of her time. Laura Marholm was not only a prominent author but also an outspoken advocate for women's rights, which undoubtedly influenced her portrayal of these characters. Living within the constraints of her era, Marholm drew from her own experiences and observations, crafting narratives that challenged the status quo. As a contemporary of significant feminist movements, her insights into the complexities of women's experiences resonate with the cultural dialogues of her time, marking her as a vital figure in early feminist literature. For readers interested in the evolution of women'Äôs literature and psychology, Marholm's "Six Modern Women" serves as an essential resource. This collection not only sheds light on the emotional landscapes of its subjects but also invites reflection on the broader societal implications of their experiences. It is a must-read for those seeking a richer understanding of women's roles and identities in modern literature.

The New Female Antihero - The...

Gillian Silverman, Sarah Hagelin

The New Female Antihero examines the hard-edged spies, ruthless queens, and entitled slackers of twenty-first-century television.
The last ten years have seen a shift in television storytelling toward increasingly complex storylines and characters. In this study, Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman zoom in on a key figure in this transformation: the archetype of the female antihero. Far from the sunny, sincere, plucky persona once demanded of female characters, the new female antihero is often selfish and deeply unlikeable.
In this entertaining and insightful study, Hagelin and Silverman explore the meanings of this profound change in the role of women characters. In the dramas of the new millennium, they show, the female antihero is ambitious, conniving, even murderous; in comedies, she is self-centered, self-sabotaging, and anti-aspirational. Across genres, these female protagonists eschew the part of good girl or role model. In their rejection of social responsibility, female antiheroes thus represent a more profound threat to the status quo than do their male counterparts. From the devious schemers of Game of Thrones, The Americans, Scandal, and Homeland, to the joyful failures of Girls, Broad City, Insecure, and SMILF, female antiheroes register a deep ambivalence about the promises of liberal feminism. They push back against the myth of the modern-day super-woman—she who “has it all”—and in so doing, they give us new ways of imagining women’s lives in contemporary America.

The City Is Up for Grabs - How...

Gregory Royal Pratt

Chicago is a world-class city, but it is also a city in crisis. 
 
 
  
Crime is up, schools have repeatedly shut down due to conflict between City Hall and the powerful teachers' union, and COVID-19 only deepened the entrenched poverty, institutional racism, and endless tug of war between the city's haves and have nots. 
 
 
  
For four years, the person at the center of this storm was Lori Lightfoot. A groundbreaking figure—the first Black, gay woman to be elected mayor of a major city and only the second female mayor of Chicago—she knew the city was at a critical turning point when she took office in 2019. But the once-in-a-lifetime challenges she ended up facing were beyond anything she or anyone else saw coming. 
 
 
  
Chicago Tribune reporter Gregory Royal Pratt offers the first comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the tumultuous single term of Mayor Lightfoot and the chaos that roiled the city and City Hall as she fought to live up to her promises to change the city's culture of corruption and villainy, reform its long-troubled police department, and make Chicago the safest big city in America.
