What Every Girl Should Know - Revolutionary Guide to Women's Sexual Education

Margaret Sanger

Sinopsis

In "What Every Girl Should Know," Margaret Sanger delivers a groundbreaking examination of women's health, sexuality, and the critical issues surrounding contraception and reproductive rights in early 20th-century America. Written in a direct and accessible style, Sanger's work challenges societal norms and promotes the idea that women deserve autonomy over their own bodies. The book is situated within the larger context of the Progressive Era, reflecting the rising tides of feminist thought and the increasing awareness of sexual health. Sanger's candid approach serves both as an informative guide and a call to action, encouraging young women to educate themselves about their own biological realities and societal expectations. Margaret Sanger, a tireless advocate for birth control and reproductive freedom, was influenced by her experiences in a large family and her observations of the struggles faced by women in her time. Founding the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood, Sanger's relentless pursuit of women'Äôs empowerment and health education informed her writing style and her commitment to deliver an unfiltered message. Her life experiences imbue the text with authenticity, making her arguments resonate deeply with readers grappling with similar issues. This book is highly recommended for those interested in women's history, reproductive rights, and socio-political movements. Sanger'Äôs lucid and passionate prose invites readers to engage with critical questions about autonomy, education, and empowerment. "What Every Girl Should Know" remains a pivotal text, urging contemporary readers to consider the ongoing struggles for women's rights and the vital importance of informed choices.

Aion - Researches into the...

C. G. Jung

Aion is one of the major works of C.G. Jung's later years.  
 
The title comes from the Greek word for aeon or age and refers to the age of Christianity, for, in Aion, Jung is concerned with the collective psychic development that the Christian era represents. How did it come about when it did? What psychic change did it represent? In exploring these questions, Jung (1875-1961) draws upon Christian symbolism and, in particular, the figure of Christ as a case study in the archetype of the Self.  
 
The book begins with an account of the important concepts of the ego, the shadow and the anima/animus (here referred to as the syzygy). Jung then continues with his exploration of the Self archetype as represented through Christian symbolism and the figure of Christ. In particular, a discussion and critique of the Christian view of evil is provided. The symbolism of the fish, which recurs as a symbol of both Christ and of the devil, is examined in detail and a wide range of alchemical, pagan and gnostic material is drawn upon. The final chapter of the book proposes a model for the structure of the Self.  
 
Aion is one of the most important volumes of the Collected Works and complements The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. Translated by R. F. C.Hull.

Trafficking Data - How China is...

Aynne Kokas

From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.
