"Ĭlose overlay Buy Featured Book Title The Secret History of Wonder Woman Author Jill Lepore "There are a lot of people who get very upset at what Marston was doing. "There's no simple story here," Lepore says. Her costume was inspired by Marston's interest in erotic pin-up art. She was a controversial figure in the 1940s because of her overt sexuality and her link to bondage. He was interested in the women's suffrage movement and in Margaret Sanger, the birth control and women's rights activist - who was also his mistress's aunt.Ī feminist icon, Wonder Woman was an Amazon who forced people to tell the truth with her magic lasso. Marston, who was a famous psychologist, made up Wonder Woman in 1941. 'Is this a feminist project that's supposed to help girls decide to go to college and have careers, or is this just like soft porn?'Īuthor Jill Lepore on early reactions to Wonder Woman There are a lot of people who get very upset at what Marston was doing. Most of Weiner's previous novels and short stories fit this plot profile, but what sets Best Friends Forever apart is its tough emotional wisdom. Bad things may happen to the flawed heroine or hero of these stories, but in the end, the deserving dark horse triumphs. What most of these and the other novels on that shelf have in common is that they're smart, witty fairy tales for grown-ups. Weiner's latest novel is already wedged into a special bookcase with the other books I reread every so often just because they make me happy - novels like Jeanette Haien's Matters of Chance, Susan Isaacs' Shining Through, Kingsley Amis' Lucky Jim, and, of course, Pride and Prejudice - the mother of all chick lit. It's the new novel by chick lit writer Jennifer Weiner, and the only thing lame about it is its title, Best Friends Forever. If, however, you believe, as I do, that there are only two categories of books in the world - good books and the other kind (thank you, Duke Ellington), then I've got a terrific summer read to celebrate. If you think "chick lit" is unworthy of critical attention, go away. This book is a reminder that they failed in that rotten endeavor. She provides a pure, Indigenous lens-a lens that the white man tried to kill and bury. It arrives at the perfect time."-Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything "A remarkable achievement that illuminates what is possible when we engage in the revolutionary act of indigenous self-love, As We Have Always Done asks the simple question, 'What if no one sided with colonialism?' The many possible answers to that question are reflected in Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's beautifully written book in which she kindly challenges indigenous people to reclaim their lives and bodies from the settler colonial state."-Sarah Deer (Muscogee Nation), author of The Beginning and End of Rape "Incisive. A dazzlingly original thinker and an irresistible stylist, Simpson has gifted us with a field guide not to mere political resistance but to deep and holistic transformation. "This is an astonishing work of Indigenous intellectualism and activism-by far the most provocative, defiant, visionary, and generous of Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's impressive corpus to date."-Daniel Heath Justice (Cherokee Nation), University of British Columbia "I have learned more about this battered world from reading Leanne Betasamosake Simpson than from almost any writer alive today. To help each other achieve their goals, January takes Augustus on romantic field trips, and he takes her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult.

You may think that they know to leave it alone, but the second you walk away, they’re going for that item, because they are used to getting it later anyway,” added Gillihan. Rather than using “leave it” for anything you don’t want your dog to put in its mouth, try phrases like “wait for me” or “not yet.” These should be reserved for toys, treats and other items that are safe for your dog or that you will eventually deliver to your dog yourself. This will create a sort of, ‘I can ignore it now, but I’ll sneak and get it later,’ mentality with your dog, even if you don’t realize it.” “You should never give your dog the thing you are telling them to leave-ever. “If you want your ‘leave it’ to really stick, you must treat it like whatever you are telling your dog to ‘leave,’ will kill them!” Gillihan said. You cannot say no to a toy, then immediately go back on your word. Gillihan said she’s seen dog owners say, “Leave it!” to their dog and then moments later give the thing to the dog. Many dog parents use the phrase “leave it” when they don’t want their dog to eat something off the floor or put a shoe in their mouth. Love That Dog shows how one boy named Jack finds his voice with the help of a teacher, a pencil, some yellow paper, and, of course, a dog. There are many layers to the novel, but at its heart it’s a deconstruction of the story of Rumplestiltskin and a meditation on antisemitism, debt, and prejudice. Their storylines interweave as Miryem attracts the attention of the king of the Staryk (a race of ice elves), Wanda escapes her abusive father, and Irina marries the Tsar (king) and sets out to outwit a demon. Its three heroines are Miryem, a moneylender and businesswoman Wanda, a peasant girl working for Miryem’s family and Irina, a noblewoman who buys Miryem’s wares. If you like Uprooted, Novik’s second fairy-tale offering is a treat. If you love fantasy and dynamic protagonists who learn to challenge their preconceptions, here are nine other books you may enjoy: Spinning Silver, by Naomi Novik Self-discovery, seeking the truth, and overcoming prejudices are important themes. Rooted in Slavic folklore, Uprooted was inspired by a Polish fairy story called ‘Agnieszka Skrawek Nieba’ (Agnieszka Piece of Sky) about a young girl who breaks a curse on a village on the other side of the forest. Novik is known for her worldbuilding, and Uprooted does not disappoint with its richly detailed magic systems, horrifying Wood, and glittering Royal Court. The fairy tale’s heroine, Agnieszka, thinks she’s ordinary but soon learns otherwise when she’s chosen by the Dragon. This opening line of Uprooted sets the tone for Naomi Novik’s self-aware fantasy where the Dragon is actually a wizard and the Enchanted Wood is a living nightmare. “Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes.” Now The Complete Tightwad Gazette brings together all of her best ideas and thriftiest thinking into one volume, along with new articles never published before in book format.
