    "Don't You Dare" is a compelling story that weaves together a current-day journey of discovery and a true-life love story between two women that took place over a hundred years ago. Newspaper headlines and stories back then didn't mention LGBTQ people. The LGBTQ community loved and lived in the background of society because it was too dangerous to do otherwise. All were hidden, just like the wedding photos belonging to author Gayla Turner's grandmother – Ruby. This unforgettable book begins with the discovery of these hidden wedding photos dated June 8, 1915. As these photos unveiled an awe-inspiring secret, Gayla Turner embarked on a seven-year journey to find out more about her grandmother and the woman standing next to her dressed as the groom.Curiosity led to extensive research that uncovered a love story between Ruby and the mystery woman in the photos. The author also uncovered a secret lesbian social club that was formed in the early 1900s by a local businesswoman. Women from as far away as Chicago traveled by train to the little farm town of Amherst, Wisconsin, to attend her exclusive parties. The local town people thought Cora held private tea and card parties so single young ladies could talk about how to find a husband. Little did they know, finding a man was not a subject of their conversations.

    The history of political ideologies is as old as civilization itself. Since the dawn of organized society, people have debated how power should be structured, who should govern, and what principles should guide leadership. These debates have given rise to various ideologies that have shaped nations, influenced policies, and determined the course of history. From monarchy and democracy to socialism and capitalism, political ideologies have evolved, merged, and sometimes clashed, reflecting the values and priorities of different societies.  
  
At their core, political ideologies serve as frameworks for understanding the role of government, individual rights, and economic systems. They define the relationship between the state and its citizens, offering a vision of how a society should function. Some ideologies emphasize individual liberty and free markets, while others advocate for collective responsibility and state intervention. The spectrum of political thought is broad, ranging from the conservative defense of tradition to radical calls for revolution. While some ideologies have remained relatively stable over time, others have adapted to changing social and economic conditions.  
  
Throughout history, political ideologies have been both a source of progress and division. The struggle between competing ideas has led to revolutions, wars, and the rise and fall of empires. Ideologies have inspired movements that fought for freedom, equality, and justice, but they have also justified oppression, discrimination, and totalitarian rule. The power of ideology lies in its ability to unite people under a common cause, but it can also create deep divisions, leading to conflict and unrest. Understanding political ideologies is crucial in making sense of global events, public policies, and societal changes.
