![]() ![]() My connection to the characters changes throughout the novel as different reveals take place. What character do you most relate to and why? I wanted to capture some of that courage with the girls of Innovations Academy. Their bravery was inspiring and life-changing. They faced down a monster, faced down an entire system that allowed their abuse. I was also moved by the girls and women of the USA gymnastics team. A system that would train girls to wait for someone to provide instead of going out and achieving things for herself. ![]() Women reduced to being grateful, whether they wanted those provisions or not. Real women appreciate it.” True or not, that statement frustrated me. But then I read a news story about a billboard that read: “Real men provide. ![]() Suzanne: The idea for GIRLS WITH SHARP STICKS began with a boarding school and a secret.

In a token effort to begin to rectify the situation, I approached Undset’s ‘masterpiece’ – “Kristin Lavransdatter”. A Nobel Laureate, and yet this bookworm had never heard of her until browsing the complete list of Laureates in dismay at how few women appear. Sigrid Undset won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928, one of only 14 female winners (out of 113 Laureates) to this day. “‘is well when we dare not do a thing we think is not good and fair, but not so well when we think a thing not good and fair because we dare not do it.'” ![]() ![]() Not every government-led project is NASA during the moon landings, and Mazzucato does not even begin to recognise this in this book. The obvious and greater risk now seems to be that the period of dramatic underinvestment in the 2010s is over, and we instead are entering an inflationary period of huge state subsidy and protectionism which leads to overproduction and inefficiency (for example, in semiconductors). A reflection on the relationships between Mazzucatos notion of the mission economy and systems thinking. ![]() Her opinion that the state should drive investment, in 2023, is essentially consensus among political elites, regardless of party, in the US, UK and EU. Also, Mazzucato is a victim of her own success. the long writings on the UN’s sustainable development goals which are entirely unnecessary and just empty, as they’re intentionally meaningless platitudes written by elites designed to appeal to just about everyone in every member country. ![]() I loved the Value of Everything, but this was deeply disappointing. ![]() ![]() ![]() En route, she leads us through a series of 'wildly awake' and joyful practices for reconnecting again that include: - Go to your edge. this one wild and precious life opens our eyes to how we got here and offers a radically hopeful path forward.ĭrawing on science, literature, philosophy, the wisdom of some of the world's leading experts, and her personal journey, Wilson weaves a one-of-a-kind narrative that lights the way back to the life we love. ![]() Sarah Wilson argues that this sense of despair and disconnection is ironically what unites us - that deep down, we are all feeling that same itch for a new way of living.

Germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game, and Walther Schwieger, the captain of Unterseeboot-20, was happy to oblige. But the Lusitania was one of the era’s great transatlantic “Greyhounds”-the fastest liner then in service-and her captain, William Thomas Turner, placed tremendous faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that for a century had kept civilian ships safe from attack. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic. ![]() The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants.

(Alongside Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin). ![]() Turbeville’s work is sometimes described as brooding, and she is credited for helping bring an edge to fashion photography previously absent in commercial work. Here in NYC, being as stormy as it is on this day of spring rites, the mood Turbeville captures in her photos from the 1960s until her death in 2013 seemed fitting to explore. The models in Turbeville’s work are portrayed idle, lounging around, appearing to be in lamentation or sorrow. But within the photographs, the soft underside of femininity shows through, similar to the way a reluctant spring pushes through after winter. Her imagery often takes place indoors, or even when outside, the photographs express a somewhat isolated sentiment. Being in quarantine on May Day (Beltane), made me think of Deborah Turbeville’s photographs. ![]() |
