Sinopsis

In 'Her Royal Highness Woman,' Max O'Rell combines wit and keen observation to explore the intricacies of gender relations and societal expectations in the late 19th century. Employing a conversational and satirical literary style, O'Rell critiques the traditional roles assigned to women and celebrates their multi-faceted nature. This book stands as a pivotal commentary on the burgeoning women's rights movement, reflecting the shifting tides of gender norms in an era ripe for social change. O'Rell's keen sense of irony enables him to present complex truths about femininity and masculinity, making this work both amusing and thought-provoking. Max O'Rell, born in 1857, was a French author and humorist whose experiences living in both Paris and England provided a unique lens through which he examined cultural differences. His background as a lecturer and his engagement with progressive ideas about womanhood likely inspired his rigorous yet humorous discussion of woman's position in society. O'Rell's insight into the evolving perceptions of women reveals his advocacy for their rights amid a patriarchal framework, positioning him as an early supporter of feminism. 'Her Royal Highness Woman' is a must-read for anyone interested in gender studies, social commentary, or literary humor of the Victorian era. O'Rell's charming prose and unabashed exploration of women's roles invite readers to reflect on long-standing tropes while enjoying an engaging narrative. This book promises to enlighten, amuse, and provoke thought, making it a significant contribution to both literature and feminist discourse.

    A vibrant and illuminating exploration of medieval thinking on women's beauty, sexuality, and behavior. 
     
     
     
    What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love, and be? In this high-spirited history, medievalist Eleanor Janega turns to the Middle Ages, the era that bridged the ancient world and modern society, to unfurl its suppositions about women and reveal what's shifted over time—and what hasn't. 
     
     
     
    Enshrined medieval thinkers, almost always male, subscribed to a blend of classical Greek and Roman philosophy and Christian theology for their concepts of the sexes. For the height of female attractiveness, they chose the mythical Helen of Troy, whose imagined pear shape, small breasts, and golden hair served as beauty's epitome. Casting Eve's shadow over medieval women, they derided them as oversexed sinners, inherently lustful, insatiable, and weak. And, unless a nun, a woman was to be the embodiment of perfect motherhood. 
     
     
     
    In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.

    Love for the Land explores the power and potential of people-place relationships. Through clear and compelling prose, it elevates the virtues of imagination, affection, and fidelity—concepts promoted by farmer-writer Wendell Berry—and shows how they motivate small- and mid-scale farmers to care for the land, even in the face of adversity. Paying particular attention to farmland loss from suburban sprawl, rampant agricultural consolidation, and, for farmers of color, racial injustice, Brooks Lamb reckons with the harsh realities that these farmers face. 
     
     
      
    Drawing from in-depth interviews and hands-on experiences in two changing rural communities, he shares stories and sacrifices from dozens of farmers, local leaders, agricultural service providers, and land conservationists. Lamb's rural roots and farming background enable him to cultivate honest, trusting connections with the farmers he engages, yielding raw and powerful insights. Time and again, compelling evidence reveals that stewardship virtues encourage people to live and act as devoted caretakers. 
     
     
      
    With a refreshing, accessible, and engaging approach, Lamb argues that these resilient and often overlooked farmers show rural and urban people alike a way forward, one that serves people, places, and the planet. That path is rooted in love for the land.
