This is a pitch perfect, engaging, and accessible credo written by one of today’s most influential feminists. Anger is not what gets in our way, it is our way. Because contrary to the endless barrage of self-help rhetoric about anger management and letting go, the reality is that our rage is the most important resource we have as women, a force for creation rather than destruction, our sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression. We are mad as hell, and that's completely okay. And when we somehow manage to put one high heel-battered foot in front of the other despite all of this, we're asked if it would kill us to smile. We are told to stand down when we have an opinion and to calm down when we are fired up. The assertive among us are labelled bitches, while the expressive among us are considered shrill. We are underpaid, overworked, thwarted and diminished. Women are angry, and it isn't hard to figure out why. After all, women have a lot to be angry about.' GLORIA STEINEM ' How many women cry when angry because we've held it in for so long? How many discover that anger turned inward is depression? Soraya Chemaly's Rage Becomes Her will be good for women. A conversation-shifting book urging 21st-century women to understand their anger, embrace its power, and use it as a tool for positive change

She spent seven years in advertising, tried her hand at catering, and managed the offices of her parents’ business prior to making the decision to write. Instead, she strove to get straight down to business, assuming he preferred that sort of businesslike demeanor from those in his employ.

Though he’d denied it, she still suspected that in giving her this post, Aidan had been partly motivated by his innate chivalry, but since he’d offered.

And to protect it Moon found himself crossing fists and guns with hired killers, and fencing desperately with Grace's friends, family, and fiance, anyone of whom might have wanted to kill her. The first I noticed even the bare possibility that I–Justice of Toren might not also be I–One Esk, was that moment that Justice of Toren edited One Esk’s memory of the slaughter in the temple of Ikkt. But I do know that, though I can see hints of the potential split going back a thousand years or more, that’s only hindsight. Or is anyone’s identity a matter of fragments held together by convenient or useful narrative, that in ordinary circumstances never reveals itself as a fiction? Or is it really a fiction? I don’t know the answer. Did the singing contribute, the thing that made One Esk different from all other units on the ship, indeed in the fleets? Perhaps. But when I look closer I seem to see cracks everywhere. But how did it go from potential to real, incontrovertible, irrevocable? On one level the answer is simple-it happened when all of Justice of Toren but me was destroyed. That division, I–Justice of Toren and I–One Esk, was not, I have come to think, a sudden split, not an instant before which “I” was one and after which “I” was “we.” It was something that had always been possible, always potential. Nearly twenty years later “I” would be a single body, a single brain. A unit might be very focused on what it was doing at that particular moment, but it was no more apart from “me” than my hand is while it’s engaged in a task that doesn’t require my full attention. “It seems very straightforward when I say “I.” At the time, “I” meant Justice of Toren, the whole ship and all its ancillaries.

What Author Shaw does is build a good case, based on research and science, for the existence and validity of the identity "bisexual" as a separate thing. When that erasure comes at you from all sources and angles, including the one with a letter for your identity in its public face, that can feel disheartening and rejecting. And bisexuality, being by its nature focused on sexual activity, is simply not an acceptable identity in the heteronormative prescriptivist world.Īuthor Shaw, who also includes a lot of other identities in her discussion, corrects this misperception with an assertion that bisexuality is in fact an identity and to diminish that is to indulge in bi erasure. No one ever explains to you, "oh, I'm straight" because we assume they are unless they make a point of not being. And that's what Author Shaw has set out to correct.that sense of non-inclusion that heteronormative society, whether straight or gay, attaches to labeled people. When one says "bisexual" without the modifier "man/male" the presumption is one's referring to a woman/female. My Review: I've contended publicly that bisexuality is the disrespected stepchild of the QUILTBAG community. I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA NETGALLEY. Real Rating: 4.5* of five, rounded up for the "Bidentity List" While the diver’s history proceeds in chronological fashion, the narrative of each segment of her life is bracketed by chapters taking place in 2008. The rest of the book consists of Young-sook’s life story told from her first-person perspective. The activity taking place in 2008 is described by an omniscient narrator perceiving Young-sook as an eighty-five-year-old woman. There are two distinct points of view employed in the novel. The action of the story primarily takes place on Jeju Island off the coast of South Korea, with additional episodes occurring during a diving expedition near Vladivostok, Russia. It follows the friendship between two divers named Young-sook and Mi-ja, spanning episodes in their lives from 1938 through 2008. The Island of Sea Women explores the culture of South Korean female divers known as the haenyeo. But all bets are off as a supernatural war is unleashed… Q&A with Jennifer Armentrout To save her family and maybe the world, she’ll have to put her trust in Zayne. Zayne has secrets of his own that will upend her world yet again-but working together becomes imperative once demons breach the compound and Trinity’s secret comes to light. Not the least because one of the outsiders is the most annoying and fascinating person she’s ever met. When Wardens from another clan arrive with disturbing reports that something out there is killing both demons and Wardens, Trinity’s safe world implodes. If the demons discover the truth about Trinity, they’ll devour her, flesh and bone, to enhance their own powers. Her unique gift is part of a secret so dangerous that she’s been in hiding for years in an isolated compound fiercely guarded by Wardens- gargoyle shapeshifters who protect humankind from demons.

Díaz nods in agreement, settling into the chair across from where I am seated. As immigrant children, I begin, we learn at a very young age to view America as a kind of utopia, a place to be lauded. It is a cold Monday afternoon in early January, and I am in Cambridge, Mass., to discuss the novel, which turns 10 this September, with its author, Junot Díaz.

This dream tells us that no matter our circumstances elsewhere, in America we can make it. We leave behind families and careers many of us leave to survive, escaping countries shrouded in violence and death. Terrifying, promising and elusive, it pulls us from our native lands.
