Women & Power: A Manifesto By : Mary Beard READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : 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. 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. 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. 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. With personal reflections on her ...

Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America By : Beth Macy READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of America's twenty-plus year struggle with opioid addiction. From distressed small communities in Central Appalachia to wealthy suburbs; from disparate cities to once-idyllic farm towns; it's a heartbreaking trajectory that illustrates how this national crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched. Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, Macy endeavors to answer a grieving mother's question-why her only son died-and comes away with a harrowing story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy parses how America embraced a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. In some of the same distressed communities featured in her b...

What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we?re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join?and more importantly, stay in?extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell?s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . .Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of ?brainwashing.? But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Ko...
