  Anarchy in High Heels

  A San Francisco porno theater might be the last place you'd expect to plant the seed of a feminist troupe, but truth is stranger than fiction. 
  In 1972, access to birth control and a burn-your-bra ethos were leading young women to repudiate their 1950s conservative upbringing and embrace a new liberation. Denise Larson was a timid twenty-four-year-old actress wannabe when, at an after-hours countercultural event called The People's Nickelodeon, she accidentally created Les Nickelettes. This banding together of like-minded women with an anything-goes spirit unlocked a deeply hidden female humor. For the first time, Denise allowed the suppressed satirical thoughts dancing through her head to come out in the open. Together with Les Nickelettes, which quickly became a brazen women's lib troupe, she presented a series of feminist skits, stunts, and musical comedy plays that led The Bay Guardian to describe the group in 1980 as "nutty, messy, flashy, trashy, and very funny." 
  With sisterhood providing the moxie, Denise took on leadership positions not common for women at the time: playwright, stage director, producer, and administrative/artistic director. But, in the end, the most important thing her time with Les Nickelettes taught her was the power of female friendship.

  What defines faith in the face of doubt? How do we reconcile human suffering with the existence of a loving God? And what is the essence of spiritual truth in a skeptical world? These timeless questions lie at the heart of Christian Ethics Collection: Signature Classics, a profound and thought-provoking audio anthology.
  Bringing together three literary giants, this collection is more than a discourse on religion; it is a journey into the human soul, wrestling with the complexities of belief and morality. In A Confession, Leo Tolstoy peels back the layers of his own existential crisis, charting a path from despair to spiritual awakening. With unflinching honesty, the great Russian author challenges conventional dogma and searches for meaning in a world often indifferent to human suffering.
  G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy offers a spirited defense of Christianity that dazzles with paradox, wit, and logic. Chesterton's playful yet piercing intellect transforms abstract theology into a vibrant exploration of wonder and reason, reframing skepticism as an opportunity for deeper faith.
  Finally, C.S. Lewis's The Problem of Pain confronts one of humanity's most difficult questions: why must we suffer? Combining rational analysis with profound empathy, Lewis bridges the gap between intellectual inquiry and emotional solace, offering a perspective on pain that is as challenging as it is comforting. Together, these works invite listeners into a dialogue that spans continents, centuries, and spiritual traditions. Whether you are a seeker, skeptic, or believer, this collection will ignite reflection and inspire a deeper understanding of the ethical and emotional dimensions of faith.
  Contents:
  1. A Confession by Leo Tolstoy,
  2. Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton, 
  3. The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis.

  “I was born, raised and lived in a Jehovah’s Witness family for forty-two years. In 2009, I left with my ten-year-old daughter. For many years, I didn’t see my parents, my brother or my son again. The experience left a deep impression on me.”
  Lucid and often funny despite the dilemmas she faces, Sophie Grimbert describes her inner struggle between the little soldier of God she was taught to be and the free woman she always dreamed of becoming. At a time when “new religions” are gaining ground, this hopeful book is both a demonstration of the strategies developed by fundamentalist movements and an indispensable instruction manual for anyone hoping to escape them.

  Throughout the history of the Catholic Church, in her most troubled and turbulent times, God has raised up great saints as beacons of hope in the midst of darkness. Among these great saints, the four women Doctors of the Church stand out as models of courage, wisdom, and trust. Their example and teachings remain with us, are relevant to the challenges of our own day, and urge us on to renewal with unwavering hope. 
   
   
   
  "Trust shows the way," wrote Saint Hildegard of Bingen. These words set the courageous standard by which she, Teresa of Ávila, Catherine of Siena, and Thérèse of Lisieux lived. The phrase can be considered the watchword for the Church in every age, and especially in our own. 
   
   
   
  In Women of Hope, Terry Polakovic introduces these amazing women and describes the troubled times in which they lived and persevered. These women remind us that God can work through anyone to bring about his purpose. They prove to us that, as Christians, we can live in confident hope, no matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
