![]() Chemaly argues that when women express the pain that doctors too often dismiss, they are “actually conveying…that having a female body hurts and endangers us.” Regardless of what women may desire and no matter their ambitions, modern society teaches them that their proper role is as caregiver, “despite the stress and economic vulnerability cultivates.” That role receives its ultimate codification in motherhood, which Western culture still sees as a woman’s obligation rather than choice. When the author spoke at a New England college several years ago, she was confronted by a 19-year-old male student who implied that women were “inert, possessions to be used, and lacking in self-determination.” Internalized rage, which society encourages women to mask with smiling benevolence, often takes the form of bodily ailments that run the gamut from headaches to depression and fibromyalgia. From early childhood, girls are taught that expressing anger is taboo to gain social acceptance, they must learn the lesson of object utility. ![]() In this powerful essay collection, Chemaly draws on interviews, research, and personal experience to examine why patriarchal Western cultures continue to demand that women silence their rage, much of which is well-earned. ![]() The director of the Women’s Media Center Speech Project interrogates the nature of modern female anger and outrage. ![]()

![]() ![]() Hild establishes a place for herself at his side as the king's seer. Her uncle, Edwin of Northumbria, plots to become overking of the Angles, ruthlessly using every tool at his disposal: blood, bribery, belief. She will become a fascinating woman and one of the pivotal figures of the Middle Ages: Saint Hilda of Whitby.īut now she has only the powerful curiosity of a bright child, a will of adamant, and a way of seeing the world-of studying nature, of matching cause with effect, of observing her surroundings closely and predicting what will happen next-that can seem uncanny, even supernatural, to those around her. Hild is the king's youngest niece, and she has a glimmering mind and a natural, noble authority. A new religion is coming ashore the old gods are struggling, their priests worrying. In seventh-century Britain, small kingdoms are merging, frequently and violently. Award-winning author Nicola Griffith's brilliant, lush, sweeping historical novel about the rise of the most powerful woman of the Middle Ages: Hild. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Less readily fanatical than some occupants of the role, she bustles about like a warmer (and Celtic) 1930s-style Margaret Thatcher, extolling all things Italian, whether Giotto or Mussolini. Speaking in an accent that sounds more Irish than Scottish, she resists the hyperbolic self-aggrandizement of Brodie’s credo, “Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she’s mine for life.” If anything, Shaw may be too ruthless a performer to play into the florid theatrics that have always given this play its somewhat campy juice. The play is about casting a spell for which you then pay a price, and one only wishes Fiona Shaw, inheriting the role that won Zoe Caldwell a Tony and Maggie Smith an Oscar, were as mesmerizing as the part demands: Like Brodie herself, the play still beguiles, though it’s debatable on this occasion whether Shaw offers up the requisite narcissism run rampant of which students’ (not to mention an audience’s) crushes are made - and then crushed. ![]() Brodie, indeed, could be placed on a spectrum of colorful, sometimes fierce eccentrics extending from Madame Arcati right through to Peter Shaffer’s extravagant Lettice Douffet, whose motto - “Enlarge! Enlighten! Enliven!” - could be a paraphrase of Brodie’s own. ![]() ![]() He is interested in regions in socio-economic transition and areas particularly vulnerable to future global change. Specifically, his interests are analysing changes in future land use, land cover and land management due to growing food and timber demand, evaluating sustainable adaptation options (such as irrigation efficiency improvements), identifying the tradeoffs between future cropland expansion, intensification and biodiversity protection, and improving the simulation of responses to climate change in land system modeling.

He spent long hours in the Paris libraries studying geology, astronomy, and engineering. Verne combined his gift for exotic narratives with an interest the latest scientific discoveries. When he refused his father's entreaties to return to Nantes and practice law, his allowance was cut off, and he was forced to make his living by selling stories and articles.

Milne's Pooh stories need no introduction they have been loved by generations of children and their parents ever since they were first published in 1926. ![]() ![]() They are introduced to one another by a wise and benevolent manager (maybe the first one in the history of the rock novel) named Levon Frankland, who spots them playing in other, subpar bands and has a hunch, their disparate musical influences notwithstanding, that they would sound great together. In David Mitchell’s novel “Utopia Avenue” (Random House), four such figures-young, reasonably talented, eager to succeed-come together to form a band of that name. Why shouldn’t they get the literary treatment, too? Nor does everyone feel oppressed by celebrity all that star-maker machinery has to get stoked with something, and for every Dylanesque refusenik in the world there are ten thousand volunteers for fame. Plenty of its practitioners make decent music, and decent livings, without feeling the need to subvert or defy anything at all. ![]() There’s a side of rock and roll-defiant, anarchic, Dionysian, subversive, doomed, Romantic-that has always appealed to literary novelists, but that’s not its only side. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But as my reporting proceeded through the tumultuous end of Trump’s presidency and beyond the madness of January 6, 2021, I frequently encountered Republicans who, like Haven, could not conceive of Trump’s adversaries possessing human attributes. ![]() Haven, as it turned out, got his news from the conservative talk-radio-show hosts Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh-and, of course, from the president he so admired, Donald Trump. That stuck with me as I began work, a few months later, on a book about the state of the Republican Party. When he shared this revelation with the judge during his sentencing, he marveled, “There’s so much more to know about people than we hear about in the news.” Are you ready?”Īfter his arrest, while languishing in a federal jail cell, Haven learned that the Democratic representative was a father and grandfather, just like he was. “I’m at his office,” Haven had said in one call to Nadler’s office. One of the objects of his harassment had been Jerrold Nadler, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee. This article is adapted from Draper’s recent book.īut as the prosecutor listed a sampling of Haven’s vile threats in the courtroom, the defendant-a devout Mormon who served meals to homeless people in downtown Salt Lake City-seemed unable to recognize those sentiments as his own. ![]() |
