![]() ![]() ![]() I had my own preconceptions challenged, and had my eyes opened further to the issues within the modern medical system as faced by those who identify as female. I have added 6 additional books/authors to my reading list thanks to her work.Īs I read, I struggled to put this book down, finding myself breathless with shock, horror and indignation at the sheer magnitude of a problem I already thought big enough. Elinor has done her homework well, and the book is a treasure trove of resources for anyone who is interested in doing further reading. Sentences are simple, clear, and the book itself follows a smooth, linear progression. Elinor’s anger comes through in the most earnest and truthful way, and I personally found it helped add humanity to the work. Unwell women is an engaging, enthralling read, full of passion for the topic, and a deep rage at the need to be written in the first place. ![]() I’ll start first with the writing itself. Having polished off “women who run with the wolves” earlier this year, and working on a book with a related theme, I had to know how the intersection of medicine and feminism was viewed by someone else. I read the title of this book and just knew I had to buy it. Unwell Women: misdiagnosis and myth in a man-made world – Elinor Cleghorn ![]() ![]() ![]() On August 14, 1945, Japan agreed to an unconditional surrender to the Allies, thus ending World War II. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. On August 6, an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The first test atomic bomb, called Trinity, was exploded in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945. But it was not until the United States entered World War II, late in 1941, that priority was given to funding and organizing research into the creation of such a weapon in a secret operation referred to as the Manhattan Project. In 1939, several scientists became aware of the theoretical possibility of creating an atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction vastly exceeding the potential of existing military arsenals. ![]() Rhodes provides extensive information on the biographical background and scientific accomplishments of the international collaboration of scientists that culminated in the creation of the first atomic bomb. For this detailed documentation of the development of the most destructive war weapon ever to be created, Rhodes received widespread recognition, winning the 1987 National Book Award, the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction, and the 1988 National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction. The Making of the Atomic Bomb, by Richard Rhodes, was first published in 1987. ![]() ![]() ![]() Get the book now in the Apple Books app on your iPhone or iPad. I rooted for them, and feared for them too." When asked why she was drawn to The Sweetness of Water, Oprah said, "As I read this masterful novel I kept thinking-this young 29-year-old is a first-time author, so how did he do this?" She continued, "As the best writers can do, Nathan takes us back in time, and helps us to feel we are right there with Prentiss and Landry as they get their first taste of freedom. Farnell describes the cults of the most significant Greek gods in order to establish their zones of influence, and outlines the personality, monuments, and. When the novel opens, brothers Prentiss and Landry are at last leaving the plantation where they've spent their entire lives, and grappling with what will come next.

I was really interested to see how an enlightened matriarchal society would butt heads against the me-Tarzan-you-Jane “Men of the North” and I have to say… the result ensured I would write this angry review. In contrast, the rest of the world is run by a matriarchal society that has created amazing advancements in technology and by-and-large achieved harmony among its peoples (with a ratio of approximately 1 man to 14 women), though at the cost of government-controlled information and careful monitoring of behaviors considered violent or extreme. ![]() The premise is that most of the men on earth have been exiled to the northlands because of their barbaric ways and they are extremely short on women in their territories (like 1:100,000). I love me a good post-Apocalyptic or futuristic romance and as I was cruising the Audible Escape selections, this title–the whole series, actually–caught my eye.
