Their passage to space was blocked by prejudice, jealousy, and a note scrawled by one of the most powerful men in Washington. Here is the tale of thirteen women who proved not only that they were as tough as any man but also that they were brave enough to challenge the government. But when America created NASA in 1958, there was an unspoken rule in place: astronauts must be male, and they must be white. What are the requirements for being shot into space, piloting a hunk of metal while carrying the hopes and fears of your nation? Mastery of flying, as well as courage, intelligence, resistance to stress, and fitness-any checklist would certainly include these. Have you ever heard of the "Mercury 13" women? Did you know that nearly twenty years before the first women were let into NASA's astronaut program, there were others who tried?

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Paula Vogel’s How I Learned to Drive is widely recognized as a masterpiece of contemporary drama. This is the gift of theater and of writing: a transubstantiation of pain and secrecy into light, into community, into understanding if not acceptance.” - Paula Vogel, from her Preface It felt as if the play was rewriting me, and I will always remember the sensation of lightness I had in the middle of the night as I wrote it. How I Learned to Drive gave me that gift. “As I try to come to grips with the lack of control I have in terms of my own visibility and commercial success within the American Theater, I remain convinced that I have control in terms of how I see my identity. She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of becoming known, understood, loved or wedded by a man of wealth and distinction and so she let herself be married to a minor official at the Ministry of Education.

Review of The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer.It is famous its twist ending style, which Maupassant is famous for, The Necklace was made into a few TV shows and movies before because of its famous story.

These immortal champions include the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere and the hero of this tale, Lord Lancelot du Lac, assassin and High Court seducer. The most inventive of the four is "Seduction's Gift." Knight imagines a magical world where Magi, immortal champions of humankind commonly referred to as "witches" and "vampires," wield their powers to save humanity from itself. The stories improve progressively, however, with Shayne delivering a tightly wrought werewolf romance in "Awaiting Moonrise" and Holly offering a sexy, shockingly kinky romance ("The Night Owl") between a vampire and a smalltown baker. Feehan struggles with the short form she tries to cram everything she would normally put in a novel-multiple conflicts, a full cast of characters and an abundance of love scenes-into a mere 100 pages, and the result is a frenetic tale lacking emotional intensity, plausibility and focus. Surprisingly, Feehan's "Dark Hunger," depicting the romance between an immortal Carpathian and a spirited shape-shifter, is the weakest of the lot. Four gorgeous nighttime predators bid farewell to bachelorhood in this uneven quartet of sensual paranormal romances. If you want to understand the present, you must know the past, and this book is a vital contribution to that effort.” “ Settlers is a critical analysis of the colonization of the Americas that overturns the ‘official’ narrative of poor and dispossessed European settlers to reveal the true nature of genocidal invasion and land theft that has occurred for over five hundred years. Sakai, the United States has been built on the theft of Indigenous lands and of Afrikan labor, on the robbery of the northern third of Mexico, the colonization of Puerto Rico, and the expropriation of the Asian working class, with each of these crimes being accompanied by violence. Always controversial within the establishment left, Settlers uncovers centuries of collaboration between capitalism and white workers and their organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity. Written by activists with decades of experience organizing in grassroots anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book established itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements. SakaiĪ uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anticolonial movements, Settlers was first published in the 1980s.

It is the 17th year that Arthur "Barney" Ibbot and Olive's boyfriend Reuben "Roo" Webber have come to stay with her, but this summer proves to be less care-free than the others. Set in Melbourne, Australia in 1953, Summer of Seventeenth Doll by Ray Lawler tells the story of Olive Leech's tradition of summering with two sugarcane cutters during the layoff season. Vyasa is said to have grown up in the forests of northern India as the son of a sage and the princess Satyavati, who was raised as a commoner by a fisherman. Conventionally, the Mahabharata’s composer is identified as Vyasa, an ancient, immortal, legendary poet who appears in the epic as the Pandavas’ and Kauravas’ grandfather and who ostensibly dictated it to the god Ganesha. However, scholars have suggested that the Gita was originally a separate text from the Mahabharata and inserted into the longer epic later on. The Bhagavad Gita’s authorship is uncertain and widely debated, but the entire Mahabharata (of which the Gita forms a part) was certainly passed down through various oral traditions before a number of standardized written versions emerged many hundreds of years later. |
