The presidential campaign in the USA grabbed the global imagination. It also grabbed the feminist imagination, presenting the hope that if a woman could become the president of the USA, women throughout the world would finally break through the reinforced glass ceiling. However, when it didn’t happen, the lost opportunity became the metaphorical kick in the feminist gut on a global scale. Through the subsequent misogyny, vulgarity, lewd comments, the pussy grabbing video, and the threats of the erosion of feminist activism in the trenches, worldwide a deep mourning arose from the feminist community. It was the name calling of “nasty women” that really smarted. Initial feelings of anger gave rise to empowerment of women — those who talk back to patriarchy — to embrace the label of “nasty women”.
The idea for the collection was born, cradled and nurtured between friends who wanted to create a space for writing and thinking about the marches. The group of feminists who contributed to this collection used the marches and the posters inspired by the marches as a vehicle which galvanised women into action to put pen to paper and show fervour for ongoing feminist activism.
The nexus of this beautifully written and evocatively illustrated collection is telling narratives that link very personal stories with deeply political issues. These are the stories told by nasty women who are making the personal political, who are seeking to live their lives in ways that resist and challenge patriarchy. Through their very intimate nature these are stories that speak to the creation of a different kind of social order, one based on equity, the promotion of human rights and social justice.

From the Booker-shortlisted, million-copy bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves comes an epic novel about the infamous, ill-fated Booth family. Charmers, liars, drinkers and dreamers, they will change history forever.
Junius is the patriarch, a celebrated Shakespearean actor who fled bigamy charges in England, both a mesmerising talent and a man of terrifying instability. As his children grow up in a remote farmstead in 1830s rural Baltimore, the country draws ever closer to the boiling point of secession and civil war. Of the six Booth siblings who survive to adulthood, each has their own dreams they must fight to realise - but it is Johnny who makes the terrible decision that will change the course of history - the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Booth is a riveting novel focused on the very things that bind, and break, a family.

Fire at her fingertips. Watch the world burn.
When Monroe Benson was born with the power to summon fire from her
fingertips, her family knew she had to stay hidden. But when Queen
Viera calls for the Culling, an age-old tradition in Erydia where ten
goddess-touched girls battle to the death in order to claim the crown,
Monroe can no longer hide. She’s whisked away from her home, from her
mother, from everything she’s ever known to fight alongside the other
girls—each with their own power—for a throne she does not want.
Duty is his destiny. There’s no way out.
As the son of the queen and the next king, Cohen can’t question
tradition. Not even when he’s being mysteriously poisoned. Not even
when his sister goes missing and no one seems to care. The Culling
makes choices for him—who will become his wife, who will rule by his
side. And when rebellion rises, what little control Cohen has over his
future is threatened.
Together they’ll stand. Together they’ll fall.
But Monroe sees a different Cohen than the rest of the world. She sees
him as more than just the crown, more than just the next cruel ruler in
a long line of cruel leaders. In turn, he sees her as more than just
her powers. More than just a goddess-touched girl destined to lose her
life. When a betrayal threatens both their relationship and the
monarchy, Monroe and Cohen face a choice that will change their lives .
. . forever.
This is the 6th edition of NOSH for Students, a book originally
inspired by the author's son, Ben, who left for university with no
cooking skills. Toasted sandwiches and Mars bars were his staple
diet, but these didn't serve him too well! What was needed to
encourage him to cook was an easily attainable taste of home, oh,
and pictures with every recipe! Nosh for Students was born. Since
then, Joy has helped nearly half a million students get cooking
with her straightforward and simple approach. Joy helps to take the
chore out of cooking, giving students a taste of success and making
the experience so much fun.
In and out of the Maasai Steppe looks at the Maasai women in the
Maasai Steppe of Tanzania. The book explores their current plight -
threatened by climate change - in the light of colonial history and
post-independence history of land seizures. The book documents the
struggles of a group of women to develop new livelihood income
through their traditional beadwork. Voices of the women are shared
as they talk about how it feels to share their husband with many
co-wives, and the book examines gender, their beliefs, social
hierarchy, social changes and in particular the interface between
the Maasai and colonials.
More than just a therapeutic technique, psychoanalysis as a school
of thought has redefined our ideas on sexuality, the self,
morality, family, and the nature of the mind for much of the
twentieth century. At its broadest, Freud's thinking on
civilization and social forces provides a context in which to
consider the history of political struggle among individuals and
societies. This volume explores a central paradox in the evolution
of psychoanalytic thought and practice and the ways in which they
were used. Why and how have some authoritarian regimes utilized
psychoanalytic concepts of the self to envisage a new social and
political order? How did psychoanalysis provide both theoretical
and practical elements to legitimize resistance to those same
regimes? How can a school of thought be co-opted so deftly by
different groups for different political ends? Bringing together
contributions from innovative scholars of history, politics, and
psychoanalysis, this volume analyzes the various outcomes of this
fascinating and influential theory's development under a wide
spectrum of governments that restricted political and cultural
freedoms from the 1930s to the present. The regimes analyzed range
from Fascist Italy, Vichy France, and Spain and Hungary under
Fascism and Communism; modern Latin American dictatorships, such as
Brazil and Argentina in the 1960s and 1970s; and the influence of
Hoover, McCarthy, and the larger Cold War on psychoanalysis in
America. A fresh addition to an enormous body of scholarship, this
will be required reading for academics interested in the
relationship between politics and non-political systems of thoughts
and beliefs, the transnational circulation of ideas, social
movements, and the intellectual and social history of
psychoanalysis.

for yourself. - You might be at the other end of the scale and find
yourself cooking for yourself again for the first time in a long

(and maybe wants to eat different food?!) to your kids and you want
something different rather than reheated leftovers day after day.

book. There is a real range of scenarios you might all find
yourselves in but here are the things we have tried to stick to

Empower children to stand up for what is right with this picture
book inspired by the real-life events around the statue of a slave
trader, its toppling and heroic replacement. Â They call him
‘HERO’, but he’s no HERO – not to me.  A Hero Like
Me is inspired by the events of 7 June 2020, when a statue of
seventeenth-century slave trader Edward Colston was pulled down and
thrown into Bristol Harbour during an anti-racism protest.
Co-author Jen Reid was one of the protesters that day, and despite
being afraid of heights, she spontaneously climbed onto the
empty plinth and raised her fist high above her head – a moment
that was captured on camera and shared around the world. Â On
the morning of 15 July, a statue of Jen by Marc Quinn was added to
the empty plinth. It was called A Surge of Power and it gained
national attention for the 24 hours it was in place, and
beyond.  This inspiring picture book tells the story
of these events through the eyes of a little girl who, every day,
on her way to school, sees a towering statue. A statue of a man who
sold freedom for cotton and tea. The world around her says this man
is a hero. But she knows he’s not a hero – not a real one.
 Heroes are hard to find. She looks for them around corners,
under rocks, and on TV, but there are none that she can see. And
so, the little girl marches and shouts for them instead. And that
statue – he doesn’t belong. He doesn’t stand for Kindness. He
doesn’t stand for Peace.  Maybe he shouldn’t stand at
all. Â A Hero Like Me empowers children to have courage to
stand up for what is right and be their own hero. It shows every
child that they have a voice in their community and a say in who is
on their streets. That they too have power, just like Jen.
