As fall approaches I often find myself drifting in a fairly pleasant state of nostalgia. This is usually the best time for me to read a book with a slower pace. Thanks to a recommendation from KevinfromCanada, I revisited a book that nicely fits this type of mood: Annie Dillard’s An American Childhood. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to save this summary for later, download the free PDF and read it whenever you want.ĭownload PDF Lesson 1: Sometimes the only way to get you going is to have others push you.

A hurtful, but true comment at a Thanksgiving dinner woke her up in late 2013. Being an introverted workaholic, most of her public image came from the empowering statements she made about minorities (with a focus on women, and black women in particular), for example by finally putting them in the spotlight in her TV shows with lead roles.

Mohanty argues the case for a materialist analysis that addresses issues of identity, agency, community, home, and nation within the context of the institutions of the global political economy. The second is the deepening of consumerist and corporatist values, fuelling a rise of "neo-liberal" and "free market" feminism, concerned only with "women's advancement up the corporate and nation-state ladder." Last is the "narrowing of feminist politics and theory," which she defines to be a result of the "critique of essentialist identity politics and the hegemony of postmodern skepticism about identity" (6). In this book, Mohanty identifies three "problematic directions within U.S.-based feminisms." The first is the growing, largely class-based rift between activist feminism and university-based feminist theorizing, the latter being susceptible to careerism and a narrow professionalism. The essay, which quickly became part of the Women's Studies canon, is reprinted in Mohanty's latest book, Feminism without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity. ![]() The publication of Chandra Talpade Mohanty's germinal essay, "Under Western Eyes: Feminist Scholarship and Colonial Discourses," made her a much admired and respected scholar, deeply influencing the thinking of many feminists, including myself. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ron Hubbard’s Illustrator of the Future Award of 2007.

At first glance, one might see the title and assume a story about infidelity. The Husband’s Secret is another unforgettable novel that is bursting with-as the title says-secrets. Together, the strangers will need to confront their own (and each other’s) struggles to face the reality of Tranquillum House. It isn’t long before the strangers realize that the resort holds secrets. However, most of all, she is intrigued by Masha, the mysterious Russian woman who runs the resort. Frances Welty, a romance novelist with a broken heart and bad back, is intrigued by her fellow guests. The novel follows nine strangers, all of whom are attending a 10-day “Mind and Body Total Transformation Retreat” at a place called the Tranquillum House. This is exactly what Nine Perfect Strangers offers. Pulling off such a feat requires a perfect balance of storytelling and character development. In this story, there are characters with so many different walks of life, backgrounds, personalities, and struggles-all forced to interact with one another. First of all, there is something irresistible about a story featuring strangers. Nine Perfect Strangers is another New York Times Bestseller from Moriarty, and it’s easy to see why. ![]() ![]() ![]() After finishing this book, I felt like I learned a lot more about Henry VIII and his wives, along with his children. Alison Weir seemed like a strong place to start her research is meticulous and her writing well-paced, albeit not necessarily unbiased. ![]() Philippa Gregory is brilliant and her writing dramatic and compelling, but of course a lot of her writing is speculative and not all is grounded in fact. I wanted to read some non-fiction about this period too, though, in order to get a complete picture of Henry and his wives. It’s safe to say that my list of books read this year will include A LOT of Tudor-related reads! ![]() Subsequently, after recommendations from my future sister-in-law, I’ve loaded up on other Tudor fiction, including some books by Jean Plaidy and of course, the eponymous Wolf Hall, which I am anticipating beginning soon. It was ignited last year (or should I say re-ignited as I loved this time period in history at school) after I read a Philippa Gregory book I borrowed from a friend and loved it so much that I then read a few more from her back catalogue. I’m on a bit of a Tudor history kick at the moment. ![]() |
