And how many more centuries should we be expected to wait? From Medusa to Philomela (whose tongue was cut out), from Hillary Clinton to Elizabeth Warren (who was told to sit down), Beard draws illuminating parallels between our cultural assumptions about women’s relationship to power-and how powerful women provide a necessary example for all women who must resist being vacuumed into a male template. As far back as Homer’s Odyssey, Beard shows, women have been prohibited from leadership roles in civic life, public speech being defined as inherently male. In Women & Power, she traces the origins of this misogyny to its ancient roots, examining the pitfalls of gender and the ways that history has mistreated strong women since time immemorial. ![]() At long last, Mary Beard addresses in one brave book the misogynists and trolls who mercilessly attack and demean women the world over, including, very often, Mary herself. ![]() ![]() The booster club keeps shoving women at Ronan to keep him in town.

Beauty and the Baller by Ilsa Madden-Mills ![]() ![]() ![]() The coupling of horror and space can definitely create something vast and incredible, and that infinite dark certainly has the ability to make me feel particularly uneasy. There were twists that got my attention, a visual scope that prompted striking imagery, and characters that were forced to deal with an impossible task. Once the plot got into the flow of things however, that’s when I found excitement and thrills that didn’t disappoint. It took me a little while to get fully into it, as even with promising the intricacies of a first contact scenario, the actual meat of the story followed a build-up that consisted of the gathering and debriefing of the crew, as well as various interviews relating to the situation it didn’t lend as much anticipation as I would’ve liked. I’ve never denied that science fiction typically intimidates me, but being somewhat familiar with Wellington from the past – I adored his two-book werewolf series almost ten years ago – coupled with a few stellar reviews from those I follow, I decided to try the audio version of The Last Astronaut. ![]() Treasure island leather bound book6/8/2023 ![]() The author: Robert Louis Stevenson (born Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson 13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer, most noted for writing Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped, and A Child's Garden of Verses. /rebates/2fbook-search2ftitle2ftreasure-island2fauthor2frobert-louis-stevenson2fhard-cover2fsortby2f12fn2f2000000382fpage-12f&.
