Summary

In the annals of American history, the remarkable contributions of women have often been relegated to the shadows. Yet, these women, with unwavering spirits and indomitable courage, played pivotal roles in shaping the nation's destiny. From the dawn of colonization to the frontiers of the Wild West, from the battlefields of war to the halls of government, they left an indelible mark on the American story.

This book brings to light the extraordinary lives of ten such women, each a trailblazer in her own right. Meet Anne Bailey, a multifaceted pioneer who defied societal norms as a teacher, politician, and spy. Discover the indomitable spirit of Elizabeth Freeman, an enslaved woman who successfully fought for her freedom in a landmark court case. Journey alongside Sacajawea, the Native American guide whose knowledge and resilience proved invaluable to Lewis and Clark's expedition.

Immerse yourself in the world of Anne Dudley Bradstreet, America's first published poet, whose verses captured the essence of colonial life. Be inspired by the unwavering determination of Mercy Otis Warren, a playwright, poet, and historian who fearlessly advocated for American independence. Witness the pioneering spirit of Mary Katherine Goddard, a printer and publisher who played a pivotal role in disseminating news during the Revolutionary War.

These women, and many others like them, shattered stereotypes and pushed boundaries, leaving a legacy that continues to resonate today. Their stories are a testament to the resilience, strength, and determination of women throughout history. They remind us that women have always been agents of change, making significant contributions to society in every era.

This book is a celebration of the remarkable women of colonial America, whose lives and achievements deserve to be remembered and honored. It is a call to action for all of us to recognize and appreciate the contributions of women throughout history, and to continue their legacy of courage, determination, and leadership in the years to come.

    Ram Shastri Prabhune conducted an enquiry and found Raghunathrao the culprit in addition to another fifty persons of which there was one female servant. 'The law,' he thundered 'was above the individual.'
The intrepid judge fearlessly argued the point and told Raghunathrao on his face that he was himself found to be the chief culprit and as such deserved the capital punishment. Raghoba asked indirectly whether a person who had committed a crime under unavoidable circumstances and now wanted to repent could seek penance.
When his point was put forth, Ram Shastri boldly declared, 'Dehant prayaschitta shivay doosra kahi prayaschitta nahin,' meaning 'the only penance was capital punishment or a death sentence.' Never before in the history of India or for that matter in any country a sitting judge had passed a death sentence on the ruling monarch. It was a rare show of judicial independence which we possibly do not see even in today's times. Those present in the court could not believe what they had just heard. There was a hushed silence...

    The United States is dogged by racism and racial disparities in income, wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. 
 
 
 
In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the "small tent" approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for "big tent" remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. 
 
 
 
A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice. Darby also explains why achieving racial justice requires inclusive democracy.

    The Last Kings of Macedonia and...

    In the history of ancient Macedonia, the last three Antigonid kings—Philip V, his son Perseus, and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI—are commonly overlooked in favor of their predecessors Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, who established a Macedonian empire. By the time Philip V became king, Macedonia was no longer an imperial power and Rome was fast spreading its dominance over the Mediterranean. Viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday, the last Macedonian kings are often denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities by hostile ancient writers. They are condemned for defeats by Rome that saw both the end of the monarchy and the fall of the formidable Macedonian phalanx before the Roman legion. 
 
 
 
Producing the first full-scale treatment of Philip V in eighty years and the first in English of Perseus and Andriscus in more than fifty, Ian Worthington argues that this period was far from a postscript to Macedonia's Classical greatness and disagrees that the last Antigonid kings were merely collateral damage in Rome's ascendancy in the east. Despite superior Roman manpower and resources, Philip and Perseus often had the upper hand in their wars against Rome. As Worthington asserts, these kings deserve to be remembered for striving to preserve their kingdom's independence against staggering odds.
