Sinopse

In "A Serious Proposal to the Ladies, for the Advancement of Their True and Greatest Interest," Mary Astell ardently advocates for the education and intellectual empowerment of women in the early 18th century. Through her articulate prose, Astell employs a persuasive and didactic style, drawing upon philosophical, theological, and feminist principles to construct a compelling argument for women'Äôs rights to learn and develop their inner capacities. Contextually, the work emerges during a period marked by Enlightenment ideals yet overshadowed by patriarchal constraints, positioning Astell as an early harbinger of feminist thought amidst a landscape largely silent on women's issues. Mary Astell, often dubbed the first English feminist, was deeply influenced by her own experiences as a woman in a male-dominated society. Born in 1666 into a period rife with restrictive gender norms, Astell was educated at home, nurturing her intellectual curiosity. These experiences profoundly shaped her convictions and motivated her writing, calling for a shift in societal attitudes toward women's education and autonomy, challenging existing paradigms. This seminal work is not merely of historical interest; it resonates powerfully in contemporary discussions around gender equality and education. I highly recommend "A Serious Proposal to the Ladies" for anyone interested in the roots of feminist discourse, as it challenges readers to reflect on the ongoing struggle for women'Äôs rights and the crucial role of education in achieving equality.

    THE TELEGRAPH BEST BOOKS OF 2024
    British politicians love to vaunt the benefits of the UK's supposed 'special relationship' with the US. But are we really America's economic partner – or its colony?
    Vassal State lays bare the extent to which US corporations own and control Britain's economy: how American business chiefs decide what we're paid, what we buy and how we buy it. US companies have carved up Britain between them, siphoning off enormous profits, buying up our most lucrative firms and assets, and extracting huge rents from UK PLC – all while paying little or no tax. Meanwhile, policymakers, from Whitehall mandarins to NHS chiefs, shape their decisions to suit the whims of our American corporate overlords.
    Based on his 40 years of business experience, devastating new research and interviews with the major players, Angus Hanton exposes why Britain has become the poor transatlantic relation – and what we can do to change it.

    A former football champion’s engrossing personal story of spirituality and rebellion, and an inspiring call to action against systemic racism. 
    The son of a Jamaican father and a Quebecois mother, Balarama Holness spent his earliest, most formative years on an ashram in West Virginia, learning the principles of equity and austerity, which would guide him through life. It wasn’t until he returned to Montreal at age ten with his mother and twin brother that he encountered virulent racism for the first time. Faced with a system that seemed stacked against him, Holness initially fell between the cracks. 
    Eyes on the Horizon is Holness’s story of lifting himself up through the power of self-determination, spirituality and no small amount of rebellion to confront the systemic racism of his city and his country. He accomplished this first through football, going all the way to a Grey Cup championship, and later through activism and politics. 
    Holness’s personal journey is connected to the social history of Canada, Quebec and the United States. Committed to reshaping society as we know it, he uses lessons from his own life to teach others about racism past and present, and to help people better understand how human beings should live and how to build a truly peaceful and just society for our children.
