Story
Once upon a time (just a few years ago), psychologists believed that the way we chose to communicate was largely a function of personality. If certain conversational styles were more common to one sex than the other (more abstract and aggressive talk for men, for instance, more personal and equivocal talk for women), then this was just another tribute to the influence of biology on personality.

Story
Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

In Tokyo, 16-year-old Nao has decided there's only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates' bullying. But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great grandmother, a Buddhist nun who's lived more than a century. A diary is Nao's only solace - and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine. Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox - possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami.

Everyone needs to love and be loved - even men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are - whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

Story
What is the role of the writer? Prophet? High priest of art? Court jester? Or witness to the real world? Looking back on her own childhood and writing career, Margaret Atwood examines the metaphors which writers of fiction and poetry have used to explain - or excuse! - their activities, looking at what costumes they have assumed, what roles they have chosen to play. In her final chapter she takes up the challenge of the title: if a writer is to be seen as "gifted", who is doing the giving and what are the terms of the gift?

Empowering the disadvantaged
Gloria speaking in the 90's. if you have never listened to Gloria Steinem before or read any of her work this would be a great introduction. She's funny too, you'll get some laughs for sure. You may have only heard about Gloria from her detractors and thus she had been villainized. Perhaps you agree with that characterization, if so I would ask why? What have you taken in from her that you can evaluate not just what you heard but what you actually read or heard from her hand or mouth? If nothing, then here is a nice short introduction.

EVERY WOMAN NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS NOW AND GROW
I have long bee MA fan of Glora since as I read outrageous acts and everyday rebellions and revolution from within. These lectures like those books are now so close to my heart .i urge every woman to listen to this read her books because it will certainty confirm a few things this has been going on a long time and that it is coming alarmingly in our near future and the only way out is to open our eyes now and get busy . Harness your energy and galvanise yourself . Organise she implores us to do so . I love that she has predicted so much and that she is still out there I afraid. I am a lot older now and still not afraid because of this astonishing woman .
