![]() Young women, constantly apprised of the rate of gender-based violence in their country, are losing patience with men. ![]() In the 21st century African feminism is changing – particularly in the South African context. Nawal El Saadawi’s intellectual life reflected eight decades of Arab society and culture Many rejected the name “feminism” and defined alternative movements such as womanism, Stiwanism, motherism, Umoja, nego-feminism and African womanism. They declared gender issues to be inextricably entangled with other systems of injustice and exclusion such as racism, colonialism and capitalism – what’s today defined as intersectional feminism. Though their thinking on gender was overwhelmingly binary, 20th-century African feminists insisted on the inclusion of men in every progressive crusade. With some justification, African gender theorists denounced western feminism as a form of cultural imperialism against which African traditions needed defending. It appeared in the 20th century as somewhat moderate, mostly positioning itself in opposition to western feminism. By contrast, African feminism is largely secular (not concerned with religion). ![]() ![]() Arab feminist theory is deeply implicated with patriarchal religious debate. ![]()

You will especially want to hear Tripp remind us that biology is not destiny, and that the power that raised Christ from the dead is strong enough to enable parents to respond wisely to lively teenagers. The sovereignty of God and His gracious gospel are more than powerful enough to meet the needs of parents and kids during this exciting time of growth into adulthood.Ĭameron and Anna interview Paul Tripp in this special episode of the Rooted Parent podcast. ![]() Paul Tripp pushed back against this notion, arguing that the teen years are in fact a marvelous opportunity for us to peer into our children’s hearts - and our own. Our culture tends to see teenagers as problematic: hormones, inexperience, and expanding freedom create a potentially combustible mix in a young person’s life, and parents can only hope that they, and their children, can survive the teenage years with a measure of sanity intact. Paul Tripp’s name is synonymous with wise Christian parenting practices, and his book Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens is one of the most hopeful, practical resources available today. ![]() ![]() ![]() The thing I hate about the future is that it’s so freaking unpredictable. Still, Abby has her own concerns about her predictions, as evidenced in her thoughts about the future. ![]() There, she is greeted by hardnosed detectives that are highly skeptical of what they refer to as her “so-called abilities.” But, her abilities are real and on-target-as she proves to Special Agent Hart during an elevator ride where she details certain personal info about the agent that she has no way of knowing except psychically. A Grave Prediction by Victoria Laurie is the 14th book in the Psychic Eye Mystery series, filled with humor, threatening situations, and the spot-on sixth sense of a crime-solving psychic.īestselling author Victoria Laurie begins her latest book by loaning out her protagonist, Abby Cooper, a cold case consultant for the Austin, Texas division of the FBI, to the Los Angeles division. ![]() ![]() ![]() Raising the Dead is the story of the science of galvanism - named after the Italian scientist Luigi Galvini who had conducted the original experiments - a movement that investigated the theory of 'animal electricity', a unifying vital spirit that animates us all, its leaders believing that they stood on the brink of immortality. ![]() It was a time when scientists genuinely believed, as Frankenstein did, that they could know what it feels like to be God. What she imagined as her modern Prometheus was a serious pursuit for some of the greatest minds of the early 19th century. Few, however, realised that Shelley's story had a basis in fact. ![]() Those who read the book were thrilled by this incredible Gothic adventure.

Yad Vashem in Israel honored him as Righteous Among the Nations in 1994. The real Varian Fry was also a remarkable man-an Ivy League WASP who apparently did not have an anti-Semitic bone in his body. Though Orringer was taken to task by the novelist Cynthia Ozick in The New York Times for speculating about Fry’s homosexuality, she found ample evidence published in various biographies and offered by Fry’s son that despite being married twice and fathering three children, Fry was unequivocally gay. In the middle of this maelstrom is Fry’s fictional relationship with Elliot Grant the two were Harvard classmates in the 1920s. Her research is solid-for example, she meticulously traces the escape routes that people took through the Pyrenees on foot, by flight from Lisbon and by ship from Marseilles to Martinique. Clocking in at over 500 pages, Orringer tell us a story that is ambitious in its scope. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think what you see is that women are pushed into putting others before themselves, in terms of their sex lives, in terms of their relationships ― whether that’s a romantic relationship or a parental relationship or even a friendship ― I think it’s just ingrained in us. ![]() And not just to say here’s the problem, but to at least attempt to make a real moral case for the good of female happiness. So when I put those pieces of it together, it seemed like a ripe argument to make. There seems to be a real value in this hostility to women having good lives. It made me wonder: what does real hostility to female happiness and female pleasure look like? Everything from access to birth control and abortion rights, which seems really vested in this cultural disdain for the idea of women having sex for pleasure, to a lot of the advice that young women get about how to avoid rape, which is essentially saying don’t go out and have fun. The more that I reported on feminist issues, it became clear that a lot of what I was writing about underlined the bad experiences women have so many of the ways in which our lives are made to be less good than they could be. What prompted you to write a book about the intersections of feminism and women’s happiness? What she learned about women, happiness and feminism while writing The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit Of Happiness might surprise you.
