Summary

"Roles Define Past" delves into the historical influence of gender roles and how they've shaped societies. It examines how these roles, often seen as social constructs rather than innate traits, have dictated access to resources, power, and social standing across various cultures. The book argues that although explicit gender constraints are lessening, their subtle echoes persist, affecting everything from the wage gap to career choices. Readers will gain insight into how patriarchal structures influenced historical events and the confinement of women to domestic spheres.

 
The book progresses by first exploring the overt manifestations of gender roles in history, then analyzing their gradual erosion due to industrialization and social activism. Finally, it uncovers the subtle persistence of these gendered expectations in modern society. The book draws on diverse sources, including historical accounts, sociological studies, and economic data, to present a comprehensive picture.

 
It connects to fields like sociology and economics to provide a richer understanding of how gender duties impact labor markets and social dynamics. What sets "Roles Define Past" apart is its focus on the interplay between historical forces and individual agency, acknowledging constraints while highlighting resistance. It avoids jargon, aiming to engage a broad audience interested in understanding the evolution and relevance of gender duties, making it valuable for educators, policymakers, and individuals seeking self-reflection.

    Rome faced many formidable enemies over the course of nearly 1,000 years, but perhaps none were as enigmatic and forgotten as King Mithridates VI of Pontus. Despite numerous ancient sources detailing the life of the foreign monarch and his wars with Rome, and despite being an interesting character who endured years as a fugitive in his youth, enjoyed a fascination with poisons, and held mercy and pragmatic ruthlessness in a delicate balance, very few scholarly books and works have been produced about the king. It may be that his largely unsuccessful military campaigns have contributed to his disappearance from active historical examination, but despite his poor record in engagements against the Romans, the Kingdom of Pontus dominated much of Asia Minor in the 1st century BCE, and the Romans themselves considered the kingdom one of its most dangerous enemies. According to Plutarch, when Mithridates died, the Roman soldiers felt that “in the person of Mithridates ten thousand enemies had died.” By then, it had required three of Rome’s most famous generals - Sulla, Lucullus, and Pompey - to finally subdue his kingdom.  
	The early Pontic kings found themselves in the midst of the Diadochi Wars, quickly learning that the survival of their kingdom depended upon which Macedonian general to support and which ones to oppose. For the most part, the kings chose wisely and were able to not only stay independent but also to expand their kingdom’s borders. Somewhat fittingly, as the Pontic kings battled their neighbors for control of the Black Sea basin, they promoted a culture that grafted Greek, Persian, and local Anatolian traditions into a unique identity.  
The Kingdom of Pontus’ power and prestige grew until it caught the attention of the Romans, whose upward trajectory coincided with Pontus’ in many ways.

    The U.S. is suffering from toxic polarization. It’s fueled by the abdication of the truth in favor of an alternative reality that now divides us along ideological lines. Race is one of our most polarizing issues, and along with it, critical race theory (CRT), which examines how systems and policies perpetuate racism. Critical race theory is a specialized intellectual field established in the 1980s by legal scholars that describes how discrimination and racism in the United States is not a coincidence, but rather an outcome that is the result of the biased and slanted policies and practices that have disadvantaged non-white people in the U.S. for more than three centuries. 
Now, many conservative lawmakers are latching on to the concept of CRT as a way to stoke fear of inclusion and change, using CRT as a catch-all phrase for restricting how racism and history are taught in schools. Currently, at least 35 states have passed or considered legislation on race education. 
The goal of this book is to create some clarity out of the chaos and panic surrounding CRT, and to provide intervention strategies, tactics, and approaches to address the critiques and assertions of CRT skeptics and the anti-CRT lobby. Gaslights and Dog Whistles - Upholding Critical Race Theory and the Real History of Racism in the U.S. illuminates the path we can take to engage our peers in constructive dialogue to both understand their point of view and open up a world of new possibilities for them to move from fear to partnership.

When one of the other 'actors' falls ill, the whole shoot hangs in the balance and the director asks Lottie to stand in… for a sex scene… with Monique… 
What will Lottie do to keep her Hollywood dream alive?
