Summary

In "Chartism," Thomas Carlyle delves into the socio-political upheaval of early Victorian England, examining the Chartist movement's demands for electoral reform and workers' rights. Written in a passionate and impassioned style, the text serves as both a critique and a manifesto, blending historical analysis with vibrant rhetoric to engage the readership. Carlyle's exploration of the moral and social implications of industrialization reflects the complexities of his time, as he grapples with the stark inequalities wrought by the capitalist system and advocates for genuine social change amidst widespread despair and political disillusionment. Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), a Scottish essayist and historian, was profoundly influenced by the tumultuous events of his era, including the rise of industrialism and the accompanying struggles of the working class. His personal experiences with poverty and the moral crises of the age are evident in his writings. The encounter with the Chartist movement, which sought to empower the disenfranchised, directly resonated with Carlyle's philosophical convictions concerning duty, labor, and the rights of individuals in society. "Chartism" is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of literature, politics, and social philosophy. The book not only enhances our understanding of 19th-century movements for reform but also serves as a timeless reminder of the power of collective action against systemic injustice. Carlyle's insightful observations resonate today, making this work a vital contribution to both historical and contemporary discussions on democracy and social justice.

    For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that makes many women's experience there so positive? Why has their society made such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world's first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? And how can we learn from what Icelanders have already discovered about women's powerful place in society and how increased fairness benefits everyone? 
     
     
     
    Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, examines her adopted homeland's attitude toward women—the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Reid's own experience as an immigrant from small-town Canada who never expected to become a first lady is expertly interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar ("extraordinary women") to form the backbone of an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman, and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as "equal" than we may understand.
