111 Places in Women's History in Washington DC That You Must Not Miss
Women's history is everywhere in Washington, if curious locals and adventurous tourists know where to look. As the District of Columbia evolved into one of the world’s top tourist destinations, women emerged as pioneers and a town created to house the federal government matured into a gilded city affluent in feminist culture. Historic houses, hidden alleyways, and neighbourhood parks stand as memorials to America’s founding mothers who built the nation’s capital. This book records the legacies of these women and encourages readers to explore their names on headstones, street signs, and buildings, while also discovering where hidden history is unmarked. Rising from a strong foundation, modern DC women have continued to nurture the legacy of their foremothers as chefs, artists, athletes, philanthropists, politicians, and entrepreneurs. Most notable are the stories of collaboration in which these women flout the myth that nothing gets accomplished in Washington. Feminism in the city is fueled by the creativity, leadership, and fortitude of local women, each with a personal experience that is uniquely special. While no story is the same, the themes of preservation and progress are weaved throughout this book as a reminder; her story is history and it is still being written.

The Worrying Rose
Katharine Towers has long been widely acclaimed for the intricate musicality of her poems and for their almost spiritual attentiveness to the natural world. In The Worrying Rose, her fourth collection, Towers invokes the radical act of being still in a world that seems to be dizzyingly out of control. Unfolding from Samuel Barber’s Hermit Songs cycle – influenced in turn by the anonymous writings of early Irish scribes and anchorites – The Worrying Rose distils Towers’ thinking about women, creativity and solitude: nuns and female hermits sit alongside the pioneering genius of Ada Lovelace, while the voices of such writers and artists as Nan Shepherd and Maggi Hambling are harnessed to explore the creative state of being alone. Just as the speaker in one of these poems goes ‘into the woods and closes the door’, readers of Katharine Towers’ exquisitely phrased and meditative collection will find themselves in a song-filled, resonant space. The Worrying Rose exemplifies Katharine Towers’ extraordinary musical intelligence, and attests to an almost spiritual attentiveness to the natural world. ‘Katharine Towers is one of the most original and gifted poets now writing. Her brilliant book is something no other could do, “an outburst of words” so old and English and fresh’ – Conor O’Callaghan

Távol Louisianától
Az amerikai indián Ischate és a kreol úrihölgy, Suzette sorsa a 18. századi Louisianában fonódik össze, ám társadalmi és kulturális értelemben is egy világ választja el őket egymástól: az indián fiú bölcs harcos, ám a kreolok szemében egyszerű "vadember˝. Ezzel szemben Suzette egy vagyonos New Orleans-i kereskedő lánya, aki gyermekkorától kezdve a társadalmi, erkölcsi és illemszabályok béklyójában él. A két fiatal gyermekkori találkozása mindkettőjük életét örökre megváltoztatja, és ebben a sodró lendületű műben végigkísérhetjük, amint az évtizedek során szembenéznek azon akadályokkal, amelyeket a társadalom és a történelem eléjük gördít. A spanyol szerző, Luz Gabás Planeta-díjjal (2022) jutalmazott regénye több, mint egy szerelmi történet, hiszen a fiatalok viszontagságain keresztül bemutatja az Amerikai Egyesült Államok és Európa történelmének meghatározó időszakát - az amerikai függetlenségi háborútól a francia forradalomig -, s közben olyan fontos fogalmakról gondolkodtat el, mint a hűség, a haza és a szerelem.

All the Feels
*‘All The Feels is a brilliant field-guide for all of us trying to make sense of the weird and even wonderful ways our love of technology is transforming our emotional lives. I urge you to read it!’ Tiffany Watt Smith, author of The Book of Human EmotionsTechnology is transforming the way we feel and express emotions, from rage-fuelled doomscrolling and ‘three-dot’ texting anxiety to the entire pantheon of emojis and memes at our disposal. Tech can amplify our feelings, foster ‘emotional contagion’, and help us to build close relationships. Our emotional intelligence has already been expanded, from the nuanced expression of a well-timed GIF to the ways we treat Siri and Alexa more like friends than computer programs. But could the next wave of tech rewire the way we express ourselves and understand others even further? And, with computers now able to read and express sentiments too, how can we best navigate this new landscape in which our emotional lives have become inextricably entwined with our digital lives? We’re often told just to ‘switch off’, but that’s becoming more difficult. Instead of raging against the machines, we could learn how to live with them. Tech no longer stands apart from who we are; it is reshaping our inner lives. In this groundbreaking and much-needed book, Pamela Pavliscak provides the toolkit we’ve been waiting for, encouraging readers to look forward to a healthier, more emotionally diverse future. It’s time to harness the power of technology to lead emotionally rich lives – both online and off. _______‘Hugely refreshing.’ Elaine Kasket, author of Reset: Rethinking Your Digital World for a Happier Life‘Nuanced, compassionate, and clearly written, this is a deeply humane book that we can all benefit from.’ Ethan Kross, International bestselling Author of Chatter and Shift
The Everest Mystery
There is no mystery more compelling than the disappearance of British mountaineer George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, last seen ‘going strong for the top’ of Mount Everest on 8 June 1924. Mallory was a renowned climber; Irvine was a daring young sportsman embarking on the greatest adventure of his life . . . The question of exactly what happened to them on that fateful day has fascinated people for more than a century. Now, Irvine’s great-niece Julie Summers and mountaineering historian Jochen Hemmleb have written a gripping account of the 1924 expedition from Sandy’s perspective, challenging misconceptions regarding his role and the skills and knowledge of the two men. The narrative brings to life all the remarkable characters involved in the attempt and describes the extraordinary feats of endurance and planning needed to survive the extreme conditions on Everest. The authors also examine whether the two men reached the summit – becoming the first to do so – or died on the ascent. Were their bodies seen by Chinese expeditions in 1960 and 1975? What can we learn from the discoveries of Mallory’s remains in 1999 and Sandy’s boot and foot in September 2024?An intriguing detective story, The Everest Mystery is also a moving account of men pushing themselves to their limits in an attempt to make history.
