Book excerpt: A groundbreaking manifesto from journalist Gretchen Carlson about how women can protect themselves from sexual harassment in the workplace and reclaim their power against abuse or injustice.In BE FIERCE, Gretchen shares her own experiences, as well as powerful and moving stories from women in many different careers and fields who decided they too weren't ready to shut up and sit down. Gretchen became a voice for the voiceless. In this revealing and timely book, Gretchen shares her views on what women can do to empower and protect themselves in the workplace or on a college campus, what to say when someone makes suggestive remarks, how an employer's Human Resources department may not always be your friend, and how forced arbitration clauses in work contracts often serve to protect companies rather than employees. Her groundbreaking message encourages women to stand up and speak up in every aspect of their lives. Gretchen also discusses why this fight will require both women and men working together to ensure that our daughters and sons will have a brighter future. BE FIERCE is a cultural movement and a motivating testament to what we can accomplish if we collectively decide to become warriors in the path for a better future.The time is now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graeme Aitken's last novel was fabulous...in fifty ways. This novel is fabulous in fifty different ways...bitchy, funny, camp, tender, vain, glamorous, capricious, seductive...like Sydney itself where this tale of the city is set. The ultimate comic novel of gay Sydney – Armistead Maupin meets Melrose Place at the Mardi Gras! Stephen Spear is everyone’s golden boy (including his own). Blond, blue-eyed, blessed with every talent and advantage, he has the world falling at his feet. And he’s ready to trample all over it. When Stephen falls for Ant, the only gay man he knows who still has chest hair, he is astounded to find his desire unrequited. Or is it? Ant is so inscrutable, it’s impossible to be entirely sure. But Stephen is determined to get his man. And if the wiggle of his cute butt isn’t enough, then scheming, lying and manipulating is second nature to him. He’s too young to realise that love can be tricky enough without adding any extra complications. Vanity Fierce is a love story that’s big on outrageous schemes, dark secrets and firm muscles.

J. Perelman, Mike Nichols, Woody Allen, Calvin Trillin, Garrison Keillor, Ian Frazier, Roy Blount, Jr., Steve Martin, and Christopher Buckley. Fierce Pajamas is a treasury of laughter from the magazine W. H. Auden called the “best comic magazine in existence.”

Download or read book Fierce written by Nancy Agabian and published by . This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing "Fierce", thirteen powerful entwined biographies and memoirs that describe a staunchly feminist approach: "to thine ownself be true." Historical documentation of human affairs informs the past, but what of the understated and overlooked herstories of half of the world's population? Fierce explores the lives of "masterless women" in education, entrepreneurship, religion, the armed forces, the arts, adventuring, and activism; celebrating their strengths and achievements while questioning the systems that would erase the significance of their influence and importance. Writers range in age from their 20s to their 60s, hailing from diverse heritages and orientations. By sharing rich context from unique life experiences, the authors emphasize their connection to each of their herstorical subjects, whose various provenances span continents and centuries. Their essays shine light on the shadowy, lesser-known impact that women have had on global history through the importance of each of these herstories, including:¿ A writer questioning the pervasive sway of caste systems in her own life considers a humble 19th century Indian woman who made a terrible sacrifice to change an unfair law.¿ An antiwar sensibility is contrasted with murderous World War II aviatrixes, albeit from a place of sympathetic recognition.¿ The blacklisted Armenian intellectual who disappeared without a trace, mirroring the loss of information in the diaspora about the essayist's own family, and also reflecting the ongoing loss of her elderly mother's cognitive abilities. ¿ A legendary spirit entity in Native American tradition inspiring a new generation of young women to create thoughtful and dynamic change inside and outside of their community. Along with striking frontispiece illustrations, additional bonus material encompasses an extensive Reader's Guide with book group materials and substantial writing and conversation prompts, creating a noteworthy compendium to contemplate and better understand these herstories and analyze their links to contemporary and future female narratives. Armed with this knowledge and these truths, each reader can become: "A queen because she ruled over herself, and because she ruled over herself, a queen."- From Radiant Identity: Chicaba Herstories

Download or read book A Special Illumination written by Rollan McCleary and published by Equinox Publishing Ltd.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gay spirituality represents a hidden strand in Western thought that was only publically declared from the Gay Liberation of the 1970s. Since "coming out", expressions of gay spirituality have proliferated in both number and diversity. Beginning with gay theology within Christianity, the phenomenon has now reached as far as Buddhism and neo-paganism. But, so far, critical analysis of the movement has been very limited largely because gay spirituality has been treated as a political and social movement arguing for rights and acceptance within religious circles. 'A Special Illumination' offers an indepth analysis and argues that gay spirituality should be placed at the heart of religion.

Download or read book Fierce Women written by Kimberly Wagner and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you have a strong personality and still be a godly wife? YES! Do you ever get the idea that being a godly wife means you need to be a mousy doormat? Be as unnoticeable as a doorknob? Or have a personality transplant? Fierce Women: The Power of a Soft Warrior smashes that idea. No matter whether you’re an extrovert or more introverted, Kimberly Wagner believes women are created to be a compelling force. You may not see yourself as beautifully fierce or even slightly strong, but what if God has placed a powerful fierceness within you, within every woman? Kim admits her fierceness became a source of conflict in her marriage, but the relationship dynamic totally changed when she discovered her fierce strengths could be used to encourage and inspire her husband. She invites you to come alongside as she takes an honest look at a destructive relationship dynamic and casts a vision for the transformation God can bring to troubled marriages. A True Woman Book; the goal of the True Woman publishing line is to encourage women to: Discover, embrace, and delight in God's divine design and mission for their lives Reflect the beauty and heart of Jesus Christ to their world Intentionally pass the baton of Truth on to the next generation Pray earnestly for an outpouring of God's Spirit in their families, churches, nation and world
