Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frank, witty, and dazzlingly written memoir of one woman trying to keep it together while her body falls apart—from the “brilliant mind” (Michaela Coel, creator of I May Destroy You) behind Shutterbabe “The most laugh-out-loud story of resilience you’ll ever read and an essential road map for the importance of narrative as a tool of healing.”—Lori Gottlieb, bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE I’m crawling around on the bathroom floor, picking up pieces of myself. These pieces are not a metaphor. They are actual pieces. Twenty years after her iconic memoir Shutterbabe, Deborah Copaken is at her darkly comedic nadir: battered, broke, divorcing, dissected, and dying—literally—on sexism’s battlefield as she scoops up what she believes to be her internal organs into a glass container before heading off to the hospital . . . in an UberPool. Ladyparts is Copaken’s irreverent inventory of both the female body and the body politic of womanhood in America, the story of one woman brought to her knees by the one-two-twelve punch of divorce, solo motherhood, healthcare Frogger, unaffordable childcare, shady landlords, her father’s death, college tuitions, sexual harassment, corporate indifference, ageism, sexism, and plain old bad luck. Plus seven serious illnesses, one atop the other, which provide the book’s narrative skeleton: vagina, uterus, breast, heart, cervix, brain, and lungs. Copaken bounces back from each bum body part, finds workarounds for every setback—she transforms her home into a commune to pay rent, sells her soul for health insurance, turns FBI informant when her sexual harasser gets a presidential appointment—but in her slippery struggle to survive a steep plunge off the middle-class ladder, she is suddenly awoken to what it means to have no safety net. Side-splittingly funny one minute, a freak horror show the next, quintessentially American throughout, Ladyparts is an era-defining memoir.
Download or read book Lady Parts written by Kathryn D. Blanchard and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How might women in the Bible tell their stories if they were prompted to do so by Eve Ensler's controversial play, The Vagina Monologues? This collection imagines some answers to that question. The monologues herein are written by a variety of authors, including scholars, undergraduates, clergy, and laywomen; the content of the narratives reflects this variety, being at times faithful or irreverent, tragic or even funny. All seek to give twenty-first-century voices to women in canonical texts--including the Hebrew Bible, Deuterocanonical books, and New Testament--who are often speechless, nameless, or otherwise marginalized. Not for the faint of heart, these monologues not only end the silences but also add flesh and bone to characters whose experiences have too easily been justified, metaphorized, or altogether ignored. By naming the torn places in these women's stories, this volume invites readers to encounter both the biblical characters and their contemporary interpreters with an attitude of compassionate listening. Our hope is that such compassionate listening may contribute not only to more just readings of sacred texts, but also to the mission of Eve Ensler and V-Day to end global violence against women and girls.

Other voices had taken over the task of speaking it. My name was unretrievable because my divorce was taking longer than expected.

Book excerpt: “At no point do we educate women on what is truly happening with their bodies.” For generations, women have been told by the medical establishment that low energy, brain fog, anxiety, depression, hot flashes, and weight gain are all normal - a part of aging which women should accept and stop complaining about. This lack of conversation and education around women’s health has grown into an industry that leaves women unprepared for and susceptible to diseases especially as they enter perimenopause and reach menopause.

Using humor and accessible language, author Dr. Kavita Desai, PharmD, blends her professional experiences in the health care system and personal experiences caring for her mother diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. Desai sheds light on difficult and often overlooked topics, giving insight on various symptoms and offering accessible ways to relieve them through medical best practices, and dietary and lifestyle changes. Given the growing evidence of the interconnectedness of our bodies, she advocates for women’s health to be treated as a whole, not in disparate parts. Women looking to improve their health will enjoy the balance between holistic and clinical approaches to wellness in this guide. No matter where you are in your health and wellness journey, Lady Parts is a must-read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join The Real Werewives for this fun and steamy season with The Alaska Bloodhounds and follow the Werewives as they find love with these wild football players. Meet the contestants: Running Wild Hi! I’m Naomi. I’m not in Alaska to meet some furry jock. I became a Real Werewife to find a platform for my travel blog. And it almost worked, too. When running back Sebastian mistakes me for a crew member at the kickoff party, neither of us can deny there’s something more. Much more. But none of my travel could ever prepare me for the adventure with this wolf shifter. Silver Fox Hi! I’m Jenna. Becoming a Real Werewife is my last resort to get the attention of veteran quarterback Landon Fox. I’m not an overzealous fan. I’m the mother of his teenage daughter. Our wild child is about to turn eighteen, and I need his help keeping her under control. But being this close to Landon again has intensified all my old feelings for the fox shifter. This time, is it for real? Catching the Vixen Hi! I’m Fiona. After I crashed an Alaska Bloodhounds bachelor auction, I got offered a contract to become a Real Werewife. But there’s one player I’ve got my eye on. Tyler Jones, the backup quarterback and my dad’s mentee. If that wasn’t enough drama, I’m about to shift for the very first time. Can this sexy lion shifter keep a fox like me safe? Wildcat Hi! I’m Molly. So far, my time as a Real Werewife has been a total disaster. I planned to write a book based on my time with the Alaska Bloodhounds, but I’ve been too shy to make a play for any of them. And my deadline is looming. When I find out wide receiver Graham Chase has been reading my super sexy romances, I’m intrigued. I might be in over my head with this dirty talking player, but this lynx shifter is ready to show me what romance is all about. Playing to Win Hi! I’m Shauna. Okay, that’s not my real name. I’m on the run from some goons in Vegas over a gambling debt. My plan as a Real Werewife? Play the long game and never make it on screen. That totally backfires when the three smokin’ hot bear shifters of the offensive line all decide I’m their mate, and production says I need to give them all a chance to stay on the show. But when my past troubles catch up with me, Troy, Corey, and Steele prove they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe and win my heart. Intercepting Christmas Hi! I’m Tessa. I’m the executive producer of The Real Werewives of Alaska and my husband managed to surprise me with taping our own episode of the show. Our busy lives have kept us apart, and he’s bringing my daughters and me to a mountain getaway in Idaho for Christmas. But when a rival resurfaces from Cole’s old wolf pack and threatens our family, it rivals any drama we’ve ever had on the show.
Download or read book Familiarity Is the Kingdom of the Lost written by Dugmore Boetie and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-paced romp through apartheid-era South Africa that exemplifies the creative human capacity to overcome seemingly omnipotent enemies and overwhelming odds. The picaresque hero of this novel, Duggie, is a dispossessed black street kid turned con man. Duggie’s response to being confined to the lowest level of South Africa’s oppressive and humiliating racial hierarchy is to one-up its absurdity with his own glib logic and preposterous schemes. Duggie’s story, as one critic puts it, offers “an encyclopedic catalogue of rip-offs, swindles, and hoaxes” that regularly land him in jail and rely on his white targets’ refusal to admit a black man is capable of outsmarting them. Duggie exploits South Africa’s bureaucratic pass laws and leverages his artificial leg every chance he gets. As “a worthless embarrassment to the authorities and a bad example to the convicts,” Duggie even manages to get himself thrown out of jail. From Duggie’s Depression-era childhood in urban Johannesburg to World War II and the rise of the white supremacist apartheid regime to his final, bitter triumph, Boetie’s narrative celebrates humanity’s relentless drive to survive at any cost. This new edition of Boetie’s out-of-print classic features a recently discovered photograph of the author, an introduction replete with previously unpublished research, numerous annotations, and is accompanied by Lionel Abrahams’ haunting poem, “Soweto Funeral,” composed after attending Boetie’s interment, all of which render the text accessible to a new generation of readers.
