One of the first works published on feminist philosophy, in response to the theorists of the time that argued that education was not a place for women, Wollstonescraft rebukes such oppressing stances, championing the idea of empowering women in education, politics, and society rather than serving as decorative additions to their husbands.
The legend of King Arthur is one of the most enduring and captivating myths in Western history. For centuries, stories of the noble king, his valiant knights, and the magical forces surrounding them have fascinated people across generations. Arthurian legends have been retold through medieval manuscripts, romantic poetry, and modern films, each version reshaping the myth to fit its time. But who was King Arthur? Was he a real historical figure, or merely a creation of folklore? The answer remains elusive, yet the legend continues to hold a profound place in literature and culture. The origins of the Arthurian legend are shrouded in mystery. Early references to Arthur can be traced back to medieval Welsh poetry and the historical writings of figures like Geoffrey of Monmouth, who played a crucial role in shaping Arthur’s story. Some believe Arthur was inspired by a real warrior who fought against invading Saxons in the early Middle Ages. Others argue that Arthur was never a historical figure at all but rather a symbol of ideal kingship, created to embody the virtues of courage, wisdom, and justice. Regardless of his origins, the myth of Arthur evolved over time, blending history with fantasy. One of the defining elements of the Arthurian legend is the concept of chivalry. The stories of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table emphasize honor, loyalty, and the pursuit of noble causes. These ideals were deeply rooted in the medieval code of conduct, influencing literature and knightly behavior for centuries. The knights’ quests, whether for justice or for the Holy Grail, reflect themes of personal growth, sacrifice, and moral integrity. The concept of Camelot, a utopian kingdom where justice prevails and the weak are protected, continues to inspire stories of heroism and idealism.Zum Buch
Society was not built with the needs of Black women in mind. As a result, we learn that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to prioritize everyone else's needs over our own. We find our value in being the perfect partner, mother, daughter, employee, and friend. But that is exhausting. Instead of feeling good about how dope we are, we only feel good about what we do for others. Supremacy culture teaches us to hate Black people, to hate women, and to especially hate Black women . . . except when they need us. So in a world where our service is required for acceptance, how could we ever feel good about ourselves while also giving the middle finger to systems of power? How can we live our best lives? The answer: Self-esteem. Self-esteem has been gatekept by the white and male supremacist delusions for far too long. It's time to put power where it actually belongs. In Drink Water and Mind Your Business, Dr. Donna Oriowo helps listeners understand the basic foundations of self-esteem and offers real, meaningful solutions to feel like the most glorious and badass versions of themselves. Based on years of research and Dr. Donna's career as a licensed sex and relationship therapist, this book will help you set boundaries, prioritize your needs, understand your immense worth, and pursue a life that brings you pleasure and joy.Zum Buch
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. From the dawn of the railway age to the sleek high‑speed trains of the twenty‑first century, the story of the railroad has always carried a double edge—an instrument of triumph and transformation, and at the same time an arena of grief and devastation. Iron Catastrophes: A Global History of Train Disasters is a sweeping chronicle of how progress raced forward on steel tracks while continually stumbling into tragedy. This book journeys across continents and centuries to chart the history of railway disasters in all their complex dimensions. Beginning with the earliest accidents of the nineteenth century, when untested locomotives burst their boilers or derailed on fragile tracks, it shows how railway travel was stamped by peril from its very birth. The death of British politician William Huskisson in 1830, struck down on the Liverpool and Manchester line’s opening day, symbolized how quickly innovation could turn lethal. Soon after came infernos, collisions in the fog, bridge collapses, and explosions that shocked a society intoxicated by speed yet horrified by risk. The narrative then widens to explore disasters across Europe, America, Asia, Africa, and the colonial world. Chapters recount Europe’s notorious horrors—from Britain’s Harrow collision to France’s Versailles fire and Spain’s Torre del Bierzo tragedy—where crashes shattered faith in modernity. In America, endless expansion created reckless improvisations: wooden bridges that collapsed, locomotives that burned, collisions that littered small towns with wreckage. In Asia, the disasters grew on an almost unimaginable scale. India’s catastrophic wrecks, Japan’s cultural trauma at Amagasaki, Sri Lanka’s tsunami train engulfed by waves, and China’s modern tragedy at Wenzhou illustrate that even regions most reliant on the rails suffered losses measured in the thousands.Zum Buch

NAACP Image Award Nominee · NPR Best Book of 2022 A searing memoir of American racism from a Somalian-American who survived hardships in his birth country only to experience firsthand the dehumanization of Blacks in his adopted land, the United States. “No one told me about America.” Born in Somalia and raised in a valley among nomads, Boyah Farah grew up with a code of male bravado that helped him survive deprivation, disease, and civil war. Arriving in America, he believed that the code that had saved him would help him succeed in this new country. But instead of safety and freedom, Boyah found systemic racism, police brutality, and intense prejudice in all areas of life, including the workplace. He learned firsthand not only what it meant to be an African in America, but what it means to be African American. The code of masculinity that shaped generations of men in his family could not prepare Farah for the painful realities of life in the United States. Lyrical yet unsparing, America Made Me a Black Man is the first book-length examination of American racism from an African outsider’s perspective. With a singular poetic voice brimming with imagery, Boyah challenges us to face difficult truths about the destructive forces that threaten Black lives and attempts to heal a fracture in Black men’s identity.Zum Buch
