She was never seen in the ways she should have been. While my mother died long before I could ever show her the path I’d managed to carve out for myself, I still think of her with everything that I write. Every time I try to think about what has happened, what receiving this award means, I feel a tightness in my chest and a raw ache in my throat, forming a choke, and I think of my mother who sacrificed so much in her life so that I could be allowed to dream just a little bit, so that I could even consider the possibility of pursuing writing as a worthwhile endeavor, and while it’s still been a long struggle for me filled with a lot of my own years of job insecurity, of part-time and low-paid work, I dreamed anyway in the hope that one day I could show her that her sacrifices weren’t all in vain.

This 50th–anniversary edition features an afterword by best-selling author Anna Quindlen as well as a new introduction by Gail Collins. Part social chronicle, part manifesto, The Feminine Mystique is filled with fascinating anecdotes and interviews as well as insights that continue to inspire. Writing in a time when the average woman first married in her teens and 60 percent of women students dropped out of college to marry, Betty Friedan captured the frustrations and thwarted ambitions of a generation and showed women how they could reclaim their lives.

Landmark, groundbreaking, classic-these adjectives barely do justice to the pioneering vision and lasting impact of The Feminine Mystique. Her work propelled the stagnant women’s rights movement into its second wave and helped women reclaim some equality.

"Generous and empathetic, yet usefully blunt. "Oluo gives us-both white people and people of color-that language to engage in clear, constructive, and confident dialogue with each other about how to deal with racial prejudices and biases." -National Book Review In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.

As time has passed and as yoga asana has evolved, we see that many of the poses are interpreted differently than how they are given in Light on Yoga. Light on Yoga, often touted as a definitive resource for yoga teachers and practitioners is even sometimes hailed as “The Bible of Modern Hatha Yoga” and yet this gem of a book is often hard to penetrate, difficult to understand and even more challenging to apply our own practice and to the students we see right in front of us in our classes.Ĭracking the Code is a course for practitioners and teachers who want to learn how to use Light on Yoga as a manual for practice and teaching. The primary premise of the course is that there is a wealth of information in Light on Yoga that is not always evident at first (or even 5th or 50th) glance. 5/13/2023 0 Comments The Red Book by Jerry O'CallaghanGreat achievements, however, do not come without risks, trial and error.
