Free Download Feminist Readings of Edith Wharton: From Silence to Speech By Dianne L. Chambers
2009 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0230617654 | PDF | 53 MB
In this intriguing new volume, Dianne L. Chambers covers new ground on the life and literary career of Edith Wharton by examining her work against the backdrop of the significant challenges faced by women writers in America at the time. Chambers argues that Wharton’s ultimate success as a critically acclaimed writer offers a powerful, even if radically ironic, response to the repeated stories about the silencing of women found in much of her work. This book offers a close study of Wharton’s major novels written between 1905 and 1922 and illuminates how Wharton’s multi-layered narratives give her a voice and an important place in American literary history.

Free Download Feminist Fight Club: An Office Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace by Jessica Bennett, Bahni Turpin, HarperAudio
English | 2016 | ISBN: B01IDX79L8 | 6 hours and 7 minutes / Format: MP3 | 134 Mb
Part manual, part manifesto, a humorous yet incisive guide to navigating subtle sexism at work – a Lean In for the Buzzfeed generation that provides real-life career advice and humorous reinforcement for a new generation of professional women.
It was a fight club – but without the fighting and without the men. Every month the women would huddle in a friend’s apartment to share sexist job frustrations and trade tips for how best to tackle them. Once upon a time, you might have called them a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of today’s working world are more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identify – and harder to prove – than those of their foremothers. These women weren’t just there to vent. They needed battle tactics. And so the fight club was born.
Hard hitting and entertaining, Feminist Fight Club blends personal stories with research, statistics, and no-bullsh*t expert advice. Bennett offers a new vocabulary for the sexist workplace archetypes women encounter every day – such as the Manterrupter, who talks over female colleagues in meetings, or the Himitator, who appropriates their ideas – and provides practical hacks for navigating other gender landmines in today’s working world. With Feminist Mad Libs, a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, and fascinating historical research, Feminist Fight Club tackles both the external (sexist) and internal (self-sabotaging) behaviors that plague women in the workplace – as well as the system that perpetuates them.
