Summary

In "Concerning Women," Suzanne La Follette presents a compelling examination of women's roles and their evolving position within society during the early 20th century. The book is crafted with a blend of incisive analysis and eloquent prose, reflecting the intellectual currents of the time, including feminism and modernism. La Follette's critical engagement with sociocultural norms challenges prevalent stereotypes and advocates for women's autonomy, making it an essential text for understanding the intersection of gender, politics, and identity in a transformative era for women. Suzanne La Follette, a prominent feminist and social reformer, draws upon her own experiences as a member of the progressive movement to inform her work. Her extensive involvement in various social causes, combined with her academic background and connections to eminent thinkers, shapes her perspective throughout the text. La Follette'Äôs insights provide historical context and depth, making her arguments not only relevant but also a testament to the rich discourse surrounding women's rights during her lifetime. "Concerning Women" is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers interested in gender studies, social reform, or the historical trajectory of feminism. La Follette'Äôs articulate dissection of societal norms invites readers to critically reflect on the ongoing challenges women face, making this book both a powerful historical text and a call to continued activism.

    Space is a contested domain for its very nature and today it is evidently becoming an increasingly important enabler of economic and military power. An increasing number of actors, infrastructures and technologies deployed in space also raises concerns for safety and security, especially in cyberspace. Many countries are striving to achieve space capabilities and autonomous access to space, and this is
having a tremendous geopolitical impact, especially since space is emerging as an increasingly critical military and strategic domain. The development of the new space economy, which is increasingly involving the private sector and many industrial actors and services, will also be a game changer for the international economy. The space race likewise implies disruptive technologies that could contribute massively to the energy and digital transitions, accelerating solutions that could benefit humanity. A new international governance system for space is therefore needed urgently, considering that the current rules are no longer able to respond to a sector evolving at such a rapid pace. Which actors are leading the race? Which economic sectors could benefit the most and what could the new space economy mean for the world? How is space emerging as a military domain against a backdrop of increasing international tensions? What would a new system of global governance for space look like?
