More than a century after he dominated American politics, Woodrow Wilson still fascinates. With panoramic sweep, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn reassesses his life and his role in the movements for racial equality and women’s suffrage. The Wilson that emerges is a man superbly unsuited to the moment when he ascended to the presidency in 1912, as the struggle for women’s voting rights in America reached the tipping point.

In the midst of her groundbreaking twenty-year career in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm once declared, “Everyone—with the exception of the black woman herself—has been interpreting the black woman.” Edited and introduced by Zinga A. Fraser, Shirley Chisholm in Her Own Words gives listeners a rare opportunity to engage with the congresswoman’s powerful ideas in her own voice.

Durante siglos, viajeros, diplomáticos y políticos (hombres, en definitiva) dibujaron el inmenso territorio que va desde Marruecos a Afganistán como un "Oriente" a la vez exótico y amenazante, plagado de fanatismo y en el que la parte femenina de la sociedad raramente aparecía sino era bajo...

AMERICA IS IN A COSMIC GLOBAL CONFLICT where every dominant world power conspires to see her fall as the world leader economically and militarily. This will only happen if she is spiritually defeated. Consequently, the battle to take her down intensifies. Fueled with global elite money, homegrown terrorist groups like antifa and Black Lives Matter burn Bibles, American flags, and buildings; America's Constitution is labeled racist, mainstream media stokes hatred for her; and socialists, Shariah law advocates, and globalists are elected into office.

Angela Merkel is a boss. A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world. With an entire hand gesture named after her (the “Merkel Diamond”) and celebrated in a viral meme for sparring with Trump, Angela Merkel spent a decade economically and politically revitalizing her country. No one is better positioned than New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy to pull back the curtain on the woman who engineered Germany’s rise to wealth, power, and an economy worth 3.8 trillion in USD.

All over the world, Black and racialized women engage in the solidarity economy through what is known as mutual aid financing. Formally referred to as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), these institutions are purposefully informal to support the women’s livelihoods and social needs, and they act to reject tiered forms of neo-liberal development. The Banker Ladies–a term coined by women in the Black diaspora–are individuals that voluntarily organize ROSCAs for self-sufficiency and are intentional in their politicized economic co-operation to counter business exclusion.

A lo largo de más de doscientos años de existencia como país, México ha sido gobernado por una larga sucesión de presidentes varones, jamás una mujer. Eso, sin embargo, está por cambiar: el 2 de junio de este 2024, los mexicanos nos iremos a dormir con la noticia de quién será la primera presidenta de nuestra historia.

O indivíduo, a sociedade e o Estado é uma antologia de textos de Emma Goldman. Defesa intransigente da liberdade do indivíduo e crítica ferrenha à submissão ao poder estatal, o artigo que dá título ao conjunto já antecipava muitas das questões fundamentais do século XX, como a militarização estratégica dos EUA. A presente edição conta ainda com o posfácio do livro "My disillusionment in Russia" (1923), e "O comunismo não existe na Rússia", artigo publicado em 1935, no qual a autora critica o autoritarismo e a centralização de poder dos sovietes.

From the most unlikely person to end up as a senior official to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama comes a candid, incredible and inspiring story. Moved by the election of the country’s first Black president, Deesha Dyer applied for a White House internship in 2009 as a thirty-one-year-old part-time community college student, taking a leap that carried her through being hired in a full-time position, followed by two promotions landing her at the epicenter of politics.

Jonna Hiestand Mendez began her CIA career as a “contract wife” performing secretarial duties for the CIA as a convenience to her husband, a young officer stationed in Europe. She needed his permission to open a bank account or shut off the gas to their apartment. Yet Mendez had a talent for espionage, too, and she soon took on bigger and more significant roles at the Agency. She parlayed her interest in photography into an operational role overseas, an unlikely area for a woman in the CIA.

Like Nancy herself, this book is rich in surprises and contradictions about a remarkable woman who used her privilege to support social change and the battle to better women’s lives.

In Women Money Power, business journalist Josie Cox tells the story of women’s fight for freedom and economic equality. This is an inspirational account of brave pioneers who took on social mores and the law, including the “Rosies,” who filled industrial jobs and helped win World War II, the heiress whose fortune helped create the birth control pill, the brassy banker who broke into the boys’ club of the New York Stock Exchange, and the namesake of landmark equal-pay legislation who refused to accept discrimination.

Questo audiolibro si apre con il racconto delle settimane immediatamente successive al massacro compiuto dai terroristi palestinesi in Israele, ai confini con la Striscia di Gaza, con atrocità persino più agghiaccianti delle orribili pagine dell'Olocausto. E spiega perché si è arrivati a un punto cieco, ripercorrendo settantacinque anni di occasioni perdute, dal 1948 a oggi. Se Hamas (e non è il solo) vuole cancellare Israele, Putin continua a voler cancellare l'Ucraina, con una guerra che ha fatto ormai centinaia di migliaia di morti e di cui non si vede la fine.

American Identity in Crisis weaves together three remarkable stories: the making of an activist in the wake of the 2016 presidential election; the fight against the onerous rules that are being used to keep vulnerable and targeted populations from participating in all facets of American life -from obtaining jobs and housing to going to the polls—and how we can solve a problem that impacts millions of American adults. Kat Calvin ties all of these threads together in profound ways.

As Prime Minister for three years and Home Secretary for six years, Theresa May confronted a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results for individuals and significantly damaged the reputation of, and trust in, public institutions and politicians. From the Hillsborough and Grenfell tragedies, to the Daniel Morgan case and parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organisation to which they belonged.

Poche settimane dopo l'incarico alla guida del Governo, durante un veloce scambio di auguri con Giorgia Meloni, Alessandro Sallusti si lascia scappare una battuta: «Peccato che un presidente del Consiglio in carica non possa pensare di scrivere un libro per raccontare i suoi progetti». E lei: «E perché non può farlo?». Sallusti, preso in contropiede, la butta lì: «Non lo so esattamente, ma ci sarà un motivo se nessuno l'ha mai fatto». Lei: «Dovresti sapere che fare quello che hanno fatto tutti gli altri non è esattamente la mia specialità».

Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and crusader for democracy in Myanmar, is once again behind bars. Her resounding victory at the polls, and re-election to office as civilian head of state, was overturned by the February 2021 military coup – a move with ruinous consequences. Aung San Suu Kyi has been here before. The first half of her political career was spent under house arrest. But this time she awaits sentencing for a variety of charges clearly calculated to keep her out of politics, and almost certainly in prison, for the rest of her life.
