  A cultural history of the goddess of love, from a New York Times bestselling and award-winning historian.Aphrodite was said to have been born from the sea, rising out of a froth of white foam. But long before the Ancient Greeks conceived of this voluptuous blonde, she existed as an early spirit of fertility on the shores of Cyprus -- and thousands of years before that, as a ferocious warrior-goddess in the Middle East. Proving that this fabled figure is so much more than an avatar of commercialized romance, historian Bettany Hughes reveals the remarkable lifestory of one of antiquity's most potent myths.Venus and Aphrodite brings together ancient art, mythology, and archaeological revelations to tell the story of human desire. From Mesopotamia to modern-day London, from Botticelli to Beyoncé, Hughes explains why this immortal goddess continues to entrance us today -- and how we trivialize her power at our peril.

  A woman with scars. A woman who had been running for so long, she no longer recognized herself. 
  For years, Maryam Jan Akbari fought to exist in a world that tried to erase her. 
  Born a refugee. Raised in silence. Shaped by oppression. Scarred by violence. 
  In Iran, she was an invisible child—denied a name, an education, a future. 
  In Afghanistan, she became a young woman fighting for her voice—only to discover that speaking up could cost her life. 
  In Sweden, she faced the most difficult battle of all: healing the war within. 
  But what rises from the ashes is not a victim. 
  It’s a warrior. A woman. A voice the world can no longer ignore. 
  The Woman Who Refused to Be Silenced is a soul-shaking memoir of survival, self-worth, and identity. Maryam leads us through the darkest corners of trauma, displacement, generational pain, and systemic misogyny—and toward a hard-won sense of freedom. 
  This is not just her story. It’s yours. 
  A mirror for every woman who has questioned her worth, silenced her truth, or been told to shrink to survive. 
  If you’ve ever felt invisible, this book will help you feel seen. 
  If you’ve stayed silent to survive, this book will show you how to speak. 
  If you’ve ever been told you are too much—this book will remind you: you are already enough. 
  You’ll cry. 
  You’ll rage. 
  You’ll rise. 
  And by the final page, you’ll remember what the world made you forget: 
  Your voice was never meant to be silenced. 
  ★ “Every woman needs to read this.” 
  ★ “A soul-shaking, raw, and redemptive masterpiece.” 
  For readers of Educated, I Am Malala, and The Body Keeps the Score—this isn’t just a memoir. 
  It’s a homecoming

  A personal meditation on love in the shadow of white privilege and racism 
   
   
   
  Child is the story of Judy Goldman's relationship with Mattie Culp, the Black woman who worked for her family as a live-in maid and helped raise her—the unconscionable scaffolding on which the relationship was built and the deep love. It is also the story of Mattie's child, who was left behind to be raised by someone else. Judy, now eighty, cross-examines what it was to be a privileged white child in the Jim Crow South, how a bond can evolve in and out of step with a changing world, and whether we can ever tell the whole truth, even to ourselves. It is an incandescent book of small moments, heart-warming, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.
