The second fierce, fresh and gloriously romantic YA Greek myth re-imagining, from Bea Fitzgerald, growing TikTok superstar and Sunday Times bestselling author of GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN.Love caused this war. At least, that's what the stories will say. When Cassandra's patron god, Apollo, offers her the gift of prophecy - and all the power that comes with it - she seizes the opportunity. But when she fails to uphold her end of the agreement, she discovers just how very far she has to fall. No one believes her visions. Which all seem to be of one girl - and she's going to start a war. Helen fled Sparta in pursuit of love - though that's proving more elusive than she'd hoped. Far from home, Helen's navigating all the politics and backstabbing of the Trojan court. And one princess seems particularly intent on driving her from the city. . . But when war finally strikes, it's more than the army at their walls they must contend with. Cassandra and Helen might hold the key to reweaving fate itself - especially with the prophetic strands drawing them ever closer together. But how do you change your future when the gods themselves are dictating your demise?PRAISE FOR GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN'A refreshing romp through Greek mythology' Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne'An electrifying romance and a witty, fiercely modern twist' Beth Reekles, author of The Kissing Booth'A totally addictive read' Elodie Harper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wolf Den'Bring[s] to life timeless gods, the complex intimacy of family bonds, a fierce protagonist and a passionate slow-burn romance' Sue Lynn Tan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess'Ripe with yearning, humour and wit' Rosie Talbot, author of Sixteen Souls'Gloriously funny and deeply swoony' Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Make You Mine This Christmas

MeToo movement, gender pay gap, manspreading, catcalling - you hear these terms more and more often these days, and they all revolve around one topic: feminism. Feminism affects us all and a sound basic knowledge of the subject is essential, especially at the moment. In this book, you will learn what all these terms mean and how they relate to feminism. But what exactly is feminism? Haven't we all had equal rights for a long time?In which areas is feminism necessary? Does feminism also help men? And what can I do for feminism? These questions are answered in this book. Once you understand how sexism works, how it manifests itself and how feminism can help combat it, you too can contribute to creating a modern world without gender discrimination.

"Woman and Her Needs" is a book written by Elizabeth Oakes Smith. It was published in 1851 and contains 10 essays that were originally published in early feminist magazines. The book is a supporter of the women's movement and expresses many of the feminist arguments which became popular later in the century. The essays focus on the independence of women from men, both materially and spiritually.

Many scholars have struggled with Irigaray¿s focus on sexuate difference, in particular with her claim that it is ¿ontological,¿ wondering if this implies a problematically naïve or essentialist account of sexuate difference. As a result, the ethical vision which Irigaray elaborates has not been taken up in a robust way in the fields of philosophy, feminism, or psychoanalysis.By tracing the notion of relation throughout Irigaray¿s work, this book identifies a rigorous philosophical continuity between the three self-identified ¿phases¿ in Irigaray¿s thought (despite some critics¿ concerns that there is a discontinuity between these phases) and clarifies the relational ontology that underlies Irigaray¿s conceptualization of sexuate difference ¿ one that always already implies an ethical project.The text demonstrates that an understanding of Irigaray¿s Heideggerian inheritance ¿ especially prominent in her later texts ¿ is essential to grasping the sense of the idea that sexuate difference is ontological ¿ it concerns Being, rather than beings. This book further develops potential applications of this ontological notion of a ¿relational limit¿ for the fields of philosophy, feminism, and psychotherapy.

A feminist paean to perversity: on remaking intimacy outside the Republic of Gender.Seasonal begins writing sentences and thinking thoughts they never thought possible. They want to give László the pleasure of being nothing. The more they come to like him, to value his sensitivity, his sharp mind, his aesthetics, his ethics, and the more they want his respect, the easier it seems to become to think about destroying him. A new set of capacities which they had only dimly sensed are now coursing in their muscles, their cunt, their blood, their mind.Abandoned by their Dutch partner after giving up their home and their job to follow him to the Netherlands, humanities scholar Seasonal finds themself single in a strange place for the first time in a decade.  Dipping into the rabbit hole of digital eroticism, Seasonal soon meets László, a male sub who volleys back their cerebral sexts and is seeking a dominant guide. His dating-app profile—a photo of Foucault and the ingenuous greeting “Hello, World?”—thinly veils his desire to be annihilated. It’s a desire that Seasonal senses they can fulfill. But to do this means crossing the frightening gap between their desires and capacities.   Seasonal and László embark on an experiment in remaking intimacy outside the Republic of Gender. But as it continues, the two realize they are staging separate confrontations with domination: Seasonal finds they must confront their own relation to the violence and anger that marked their upbringing in working-class, small-town Australia, while László stages his own confrontation with his decision to leave Viktor Orbán’s Hungary. As they attempt to improvise a theater of domination that opens up possibilities of reciprocity, the energies of their sexuality stalk this collaboration, threatening to give them exactly what they bargained or begged for. A feminist paean to perversity in the tradition of Pauline Réage’s Story of O and Anaïs Nin’s Delta of Venus, Anna Poletti’s hello, world? dares to fully inhabit female power, and to fully face the violence, beauty, and uncharted territories of human sexuality.

"Ten years after an unspeakable tragedy caused Claire to flee her hometown in Delaware, she finally feels content. She has a quiet, tidy life in Wisconsin, a place she picked at random for its perfect pink mitten shape on a map. Her carefully constructed identity is predicated on a simple plan: keep her social circle small, and keep the past a secret. But when she meets Erik--a lighthearted theater nerd who gives Claire more of a chance than she's given herself in a long time--that plan seems increasingly impossible, especially after she finds herself emotionally entangled not only with Erik, but with his ex-wife Annabelle, their three young children, and a small set of friends, the kind she'd always wanted to have around her"--

Health inequalities, primarily driven by the structural determinants of health, are a major concern towards the global goal of health for all. A feminist global health policy has the potential to address the unequal distribution of power and to dismantle these imbalances. The prioritisation of intersectional, holistic, human rights-based approaches intends to advance health equality and reproductive justice. This research examined the contours and potentials of a feminist global health policy by developing a framework. Online focus groups were conducted with participants affiliated to either the global-academic or local-activist level, envisaging global representation. The elaborated framework provides a nexus between the global and the local level, by entailing universal principles as well as recommendations and sensitivity for context-specific adaptations. Community and policymakers are identified as key actors. This research aims to stimulate a debate on feminist global health policy and the potential of this framework with regard to health equality and reproductive justice.

¿This book is the first sustained scholarly account of women and goddesses in presocratic philosophy. It approaches the origin of western philosophy via Nietzsche, Feminism, and Embodied Cognition in order to argue that the presocratics were reviving, within the largely patriarchal and death-glorifying culture of archaic Greece, a paleo/neolithic goddess-centered religiosity that affirmed life and rebirth. By taking readers from prehistoric Europe to classical Athens, Joseph I. Breidenstein Jr. provides a novel narrative of the dawn of western philosophy which is more comprehensive than traditional accounts and which helps us address contemporary problems¿the patriarchal attitudes and ideas that continue to corrupt academic-philosophical culture; the fascist-dominator lifestyle that continues to threaten western democracy and which is encouraged by the patriarchal aspects of academia; and the consumerism that continues to result from a materialistic-secular paradigm that is being increasingly recognized as both intellectually untenable and socially unsustainable.

"In both her writing and her visual art, Renee Gladman is a brilliant investigator of life, always pushing into new ways of experiencing the world. My Lesbian Novel is a book of candor, wryness, and wit but also warmth and circumspection. Written as an interview that spans many years and weaves into and out of memory and fiction, the book chronicles the author's-or "author's"-project to explore the genre of lesbian romance as both a reader and a writer. The result is a playful philosophical novel about writing a romantic erotic novel, and about all the beautiful and thorny life that happens along the way"--

"Originally published in 2008 in the groundbreaking Atelos series, To After That (TOAF) introduced a new kind of writing - somewhere between criticism and memoir and philosophy - that Renee Gladman has continued to explore in books like Calamities and My Lesbian Novel. TOAF is a recuperative song, an effort to give space and life to an abandoned project, but it is also, itself, a beautiful meditation on process and distance and duration, and a reminder that time is the subject of any writing"--

A groundbreaking, potent novel about the destructive force of romantic love from award-winning writer Vigdis Hjorth

We have all got to that point where we are about to engage in something new...and we are not sure how to continue. We have all had that chance when we go to a new school or a new class and we are afraid of the reception. Some of our parents have dotted on us in basic or primary school...until it gets to a point when we have to leave them and manage on our own...AMY is a COMING OF AGE novella in which a teenage girl gets to that point where she has to do an exam in order to join high school, only that our Amy has to go to a boarding school far away from home. She has been used to having things done for her...almost, and now she has to learn to cope on her own. And she has to make new friends. Her passing her exam becomes a stepping stone to a new challenge. But she eventually finds high school a lot more fun than she had ever anticipated. AMY is the FIRST novella in the ST MARYAN SEVEN SERIES. They tell stories that challenge teenagers about their perceptions, their choices, and give teachers and parents dealing with teenagers tips on how to manage them. AMY introduces the characters who feature in the series as well as grounds the narratives. Besides, this series teaches English Idioms as used in context, thereby helping the teenager improve in communication skills and creative writing. The idea here is that a second language is learnt more easily and quicker through narratives, not the textbook. Welcome aboard.
