Around the World in Seventy-Two Days

Nellie Bly

Beschreibung

In "Around the World in Seventy-Two Days," Nellie Bly chronicles her audacious journey to circumnavigate the globe in a mere 72 days, challenging the then-prevailing stereotype of women in travel and journalism. Bly's narrative is imbued with a conversational style, vibrant observations, and a keen, often humorous eye for detail. As an early example of immersive journalism, her work not only captures the spirit of adventure but also serves as a critique of social norms in the late 19th century—a time when women were largely dismissed in the public sphere. Her account is enriched by lively anecdotes and captivating encounters, illustrating the cultural and political landscapes she traversed. Nellie Bly, born Elizabeth Cochran in 1864, was a pioneering journalist known for her fearless investigative reporting and innovative storytelling. Her background in journalism, combined with her profound curiosity and determination, led her to embark on this remarkable journey inspired by Jules Verne's fictional work. Bly's experiences as a female reporter in a male-dominated field fueled her desire to push boundaries and challenge societal expectations, thereby laying the groundwork for future generations of women in media. "Around the World in Seventy-Two Days" is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature, travel writing, or the evolution of journalism. Bly's daring exploits resonate with the modern reader, offering insights not only into her time but also into the enduring spirit of adventure and resilience. This compelling narrative will inspire readers to explore the world with curiosity and boldness.

Love Sexuality and Matriarchy -...

Erich Fromm

"[A] fascinating collection of essays" on the complicated relations between men and women from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Art of Loving (The New York Times Book Review). 
 
 
  
The renowned social psychologist delves deep into the fraught relationship between genders, drawing upon the influential insights of Bachofen, Freud, Marx, and Briffault. Not primarily interested in the existence of anatomical and biological differences between the sexes, Fromm instead analyzes how these differences have been made use of throughout human history. Drawing from Bachofen's Mother Right, Fromm expounds on how matriarchal and patriarchal social structures determine relations between the sexes in essential ways, and how they are shaped by the dominant orientation of the social character at any given time. He posits that the most important question concerning gender relations is which characterological orientation determines human relationships: love or hate, love of life or fascination with force. Thus, it will not be gender conflict that will determine humanity's future but whether we opt for love of life or love of death.

Redlined - A Memoir of Race...

Linda Gartz

Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, Redlined exposes the racist lending rules that refuse mortgages to anyone in areas with even one black resident. As blacks move deeper into Chicago’s West Side during the 1960s, whites flee by the thousands. But Linda Gartz’s parents, Fred and Lil choose to stay in their integrating neighborhood, overcoming previous prejudices as they meet and form friendships with their African American neighbors. The community sinks into increasing poverty and crime after two race riots destroy its once vibrant business district, but Fred and Lil continue to nurture their three apartment buildings and tenants for the next twenty years in a devastated landscape―even as their own relationship cracks and withers. 
After her parents’ deaths, Gartz discovers long-hidden letters, diaries, documents, and photos stashed in the attic of her former home. Determined to learn what forces shattered her parents’ marriage and undermined her community, she searches through the family archives and immerses herself in books on racial change in American neighborhoods. Told through the lens of Gartz’s discoveries of the personal and political, Redlined delivers a riveting story of a community fractured by racial turmoil, an unraveling and conflicted marriage, a daughter’s fight for sexual independence, and an up-close, intimate view of the racial and social upheavals of the 1960s.

Mama - A Queer Black Woman's...

Nikkya Hargrove

In this searing and uplifting memoir, a young Black queer woman fresh out of college adopts her baby brother after their incarcerated mother dies, determined to create the kind of family she never had. Growing up, Nikkya Hargrove’s mother was in and out of prison. Hargrove, one of the 5 million children dealing with the effects of an incarcerated parent, spent a good portion of her childhood in prison visiting rooms. After her baby brother was born, Hargrove decided to fight for custody–even though she had only just graduated college. We see how she is subjected to preconceived notions that she, a Black, queer, young woman, cannot handle the responsibility. She shares about the shame she feels accepting food stamps, her family’s reaction to her coming out, and the joy she experiences when she meets the woman who will become her wife. Whether she’s clashing with her brother's biological father or battling for Jonathan’s education rights after he’s diagnosed with ADHD and autism, this is a woman who won’t give up.     Hargrove’s memoir picks up where Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy left off, exploring generational trauma and pulling back the curtain on family court and poverty in America. Moving and inspiring, Mama is an ode to motherhood and identity, to never giving up, and to finding strength in family and community.
