With sass, humor, and in-your-face facts, this book informs and equips women with the tools they need to combat sexist comments, topple ridiculous stereotypes (girls aren't good at math?), and end the promotion of lame double standards. Whether Jessica is pointing out the wage earning discrepancies between men and women or revealing all of the places that women still aren't equal to their male counterparts-be it in the workplace, courtroom, bedroom, or home-she maintains her signature wittily sarcastic tone.

The subject has been covered by numerous authors before, but Annie Cossins brings a new and highly readable perspective on the story. The Makin case was sensational, following inquests into the bodies of thirteen babies uncovered in the yards of houses in which they lived. She was released in 1911, and died in 1918. John Makin was hanged on 15 August 1893 while his wife Sarah had her sentence commuted to life imprisonment. The Makins were one of the many ‘baby farmers’ who took in babies for a fee, generally with the aim of disposing of them as quickly as possible. ThisbookisaboutoneofthemostsensationalcasesinAustralia’slegal history: the trial and conviction (after appeal to the Privy Council) of John and Sarah Makin for the death of a baby. TIARNE BARRATT UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Annie Cossins, The Baby Farmers (Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 2013). In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:ġ20 BOOK REVIEWS straightforward, and this book would be appropriate for students new to the field, those teaching across disciplines, and anyone with a desire to further understand contemporary reproductive debates. As war between the two kingdoms nears, the tension builds as romance and magic mingle to create a great read. Lia Mara, the new queen who must find her own way without using the bloodshed that kept her mother in power. Grey, who now lives in a nearby monarchy and is steadily learning to use his magic, probably to attack his brother. Rhen, who regrets what he was forced to do but remains terrified of the magic that flows in his brother. There is Harper, who can barely look at her once-beloved Rhen but has been learning to use a sword and defend herself. Told in alternating points of view, the novel takes us into each person’s perspective. What at first was a twist on Beauty and the Beast has created its own tremendous fantasy world filled with an evil enchantress, a lost brother, a girl stolen from her world to become a princess in another, a prince who is also beastly, and a new queen who must find the respect of her people. The conclusion to the amazing Cursebreakers series, this book could not have higher expectations surrounding it. A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer (9781547602582) BRICK LANE (which is based on the same-named novel by Monica Ali) manages to take on ambitious topics - love, poverty, feminism, immigration, even terrorism - and transform them into an evocative, intimate viewing experience. What first seems like a predictable plot is quickly proven otherwise, bolstered by strong performances from nearly the entire cast. Overall conservatively speaking this is best for adults who like movies that explore cultural and social issues. There is a woman who smokes, some scenes depicting racial slurs and a scene where the family is watching the 911 attack in New York as the 2nd plane flies into the 2nd tower. Then in yet another scene the wife has an adulterous affair with a young man and he is undressing her, both naked in bed and kissing, caressing etc.,although full nude bodies are not shown it is plenty enough to see that they are naked and he is on top of her etc.Īcting is good though and bad language is almost minimal. There is another scene of the husband climbing on the wife to make love. It shows her mother going into the water and the next scene is her body floating and a group of women who rescue her. Movie starts out with a scene of a mother who commits suicide by drowning which is witnessed by her daughter who narrates throughout the movie. I cannot recommend this to anyone below 18. The movie itself is good in many ways but certainly NOT appropriate to watch with kids. |
