Download or read book The Trouble with White Women written by Kyla Schuller and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incisive history of self-serving white feminists and the inspiring women who’ve continually defied them Women including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Margaret Sanger, and Sheryl Sandberg are commonly celebrated as leaders of feminism. Yet they have fought for the few, not the many. As award-winning scholar Kyla Schuller argues, their white feminist politics dispossess the most marginalized to liberate themselves. In The Trouble with White Women, Schuller brings to life the two-hundred-year counter history of Black, Indigenous, Latina, poor, queer, and trans women pushing back against white feminists and uniting to dismantle systemic injustice. These feminist heroes such as Frances Harper, Harriet Jacobs, and Pauli Murray have created an anti-racist feminism for all. But we don’t speak their names and we don’t know their legacies. Unaware of these intersectional leaders, feminists have been led down the same dead-end alleys generation after generation, often working within the structures of racism, capitalism, homophobia, and transphobia rather than against them. Building a more just feminist politics for today requires a reawakening, a return to the movement’s genuine vanguards and visionaries. Their compelling stories, campaigns, and conflicts reveal the true potential of feminist liberation. An Entropy Magazine Best Nonfiction Book of 2020-2021,The Trouble with White Women gives feminists today the tools to fight for the flourishing of all.

Nika I returned from college to discover that my fated mate, Aiden, had established an Alpha’s harem in my absence. Alpha harems were outlawed under his father’s rule for the devastation they caused the packs of old. Aiden’s father never explained to his son why shipping your fated off to Mirage Island until you were ready for them was a bad choice. My fated thought I would be there waiting for him to return for me. The true reason for the island’s existence, and my only hope at a different fate, was that the rejected were often re-fated and given a second chance pairing that would be just as strong as the original. Thorin An Alpha with no mate is no Alpha at all. My father taught me that. It was why he stepped down when my mother passed into the beyond. I had no heirs. Eventually, there would be a fight for my position that could devastate my pack. My last hope was something I didn’t want to face – the possibility of another mate. How could I seek another when my heart was already taken by my choice mate after years of failing to find my fated? No cheating, but there is a cliffhanger! Part two of Nika and Thorin's story is Beyond the Grasslands and must be read to complete their happily ever after.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FALCONS of NARABEDLA Voltage—from Nowhere! Somewhere on the crags above us I heard a big bird scream. I turned to Andy, knee-deep in the icy stream beside me. "There's your eagle. Probably smells that cougar I shot yesterday." I started to reel in my line, knowing what my brother's next move would be. "Get the camera, and we'll try for a picture."

We were to leeward; the scent of the carrion masked our enemy smell from him. The eagle failed to scent or to see us, swooping down and dropping on the cougar's head. Andy's camera clicked twice. The eagle thrust in its beak— A red-hot wire flared in my brain. The bird—the bird—I leaped out of cover, running swiftly across the ten-foot clearing that separated us from the attacking eagle, my hand tugging automatically at the hunting knife in my belt. Andy's shout of surprised anger was a faraway noise in my ears as the eagle started away with flapping, angry wings—then, in fury, swept down at me, pinions beating around my head. I heard and felt the wicked beak dart in, and thrust blindly upward with the knife, ripped, slashing, hearing the bird's scream of pain and the flapping of wide wings. A red haze spun around me—
