I Do Not Consent
Summary
From treating COVID patients in her local hospital to fighting for the rights of frontline doctors, Dr. Simone Gold tells her story. "The bumper-sticker directive to ‘follow the science’ was actually an evasion of responsibility. It let people off the hook for their bad decisions in a crisis. Was New York Governor Cuomo’s executive order sending COVID-hospitalized patients back to nursing homes to infect other vulnerable nursing home patients ‘following the science’? Of course not. And sending post-hospitalization COVID-positive patients back to nursing homes was unnecessary. Relative to the total nursing home population, Governor Cuomo contributed to a larger percentage of nursing-home deaths - especially when compared to the states without such a policy. New Jersey’s over seven thousand nursing home deaths account for half of the state’s fatalities since March. Pennsylvania did just as miserably. These governors made specific decisions that cost thousands of the most vulnerable, most expendable, their lives. But they didn’t do it to their own relatives.” (from I Do Not Consent)

Her schooling was erratic and she attended seven different schools in just four years, finishing when she was 15. To prevent her children from getting hurt as she had been, her mother forbade them to make strong friendships or read fiction. Despite that, Gilman spent a lot of time in the local library studying ancient civilizations on her own.

Summary
Unique to this title are: A historical introduction A study of the themes present in The Yellow Wallpaper, Herland, and The Crux You may of course skip all of it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning. Charlotte Perkins was born in 1860 in Connecticut. When she was a child, her father abandoned his wife and children, and she spent the rest of her childhood in poverty.

To prevent her children from getting hurt as she had been, her mother forbade them to make strong friendships or read fiction. Despite that, Gilman spent a lot of time in the local library studying ancient civilizations on her own. In her best-known work, The Yellow Wallpaper, Gilman writes about different kinds of oppression that women were exposed to at the time. Women were patronized and treated as mentally weak and fragile. They were believed to be prone to many “nervous conditions” and particularly hysteria. Herland is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman in which exists an isolated society composed entirely of women, who reproduce via parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). The result is an ideal social order: free of war, conflict, and domination. The Crux tells the story of a group of New England women who move west to start a boardinghouse for men in Colorado. It is an important early feminist work that brings forward complicated issues of gender, citizenship, eugenics, and frontier nationalism. Enjoy this timeless classic collection!

The Twisted Secrets of the Leadership
Summary
“You are a huntress. You value honor and righteousness. You did your duty. And, I have never been more proud of you.” The Leadership. An organization for and by people who have devoted their lives to protecting humanity from the vile creatures known as Witches. They have put in place meticulously structured guidelines, rules, and orders for the sole purpose of achieving that one goal. The flow of operations runs as smoothly as a well-tuned orchestra, but don’t be deceived. The Leadership is far from valiant. Behind its gold-plated exterior is a rusted fist, clenched chokingly around their victims. Or as they call them, Hunters. The Leadership has hidden all of its secrets behind a thick coating of manipulation and centuries of brainwashing. They have perfected the art of allegiance through fear; compliance through exploitation; and conformity through condemnation. However, all they have tried to hide will be revealed through five broken but undefeated souls: Eddie, Angel, Caieta, Benzi, and Loyce. They had to learn the hard way that nothing is sacred but the sole objective. And no one is safe. Not even the purebred soldiers they call children. “We thank you for your Sacrifice.”
