Susan Brownmiller, to land a job at Newsweek, but it was a dead end - women researchers sometimes became reporters, rarely writers, and never editors. On March 16, 1970, the day Newsweek published a cover story on the fledgling feminist movement, forty-six Newsweek women charged the magazine with discrimination. It was the first female class action lawsuit - the first by women journalists - and it inspired other women in the media to quickly follow suit. Includes strong language. 2012.

grâce à son travail, son mérite, ses efforts, quel que soit son milieu d'origine - ne l'est plus aujourd'hui. Pourquoi ? Parce que les inégalités n'ont jamais été aussi fortes, et la mobilité sociale jamais aussi réduite. Un cercle infernal voit la richesse et le pouvoir se concentrer dans les mains d'une infime minorité, qui applique la vile maxime d'Adam Smith : Tout pour nous, rien pour les autres. Noam Chomsky appelle au réveil de la majorité, aux innombrables petits actes de personnes anonymes. Ce sont ces derniers qui pourront faire basculer notre avenir. 2017.

In his first major book on the subject of income inequality, Noam Chomsky skewers the fundamental tenets of neoliberalism and…
casts a clear, cold, patient eye on the economic facts of life. What are the ten principles of concentration of wealth and power at work in America today? They're simple enough: reduce democracy, shape ideology, redesign the economy, shift the burden onto the poor and middle classes, attack the solidarity of the people, let special interests run the regulators, engineer election results, use fear and the power of the state to keep the rabble in line, manufacture consent, marginalize the population. Chomsky devotes a chapter to each of these ten principles, and adds readings from some of the core texts that have influenced his thinking to bolster his argument. 2017.

anyone.No Address is a gripping tale about a group of individuals who find themselves homeless due to unfortunate circumstances.

A kindhearted homeless veteran finds him sleeping on a bench and takes him under his wing, introducing him to his street family, mentally ill Dora … drug user Violet … and now a runaway Jimmy. Finally, we have Robert, a successful real estate broker who struggles as an addictive gambler. This problem has put his job, his family, and his whole livelihood in jeopardy. Will Robert travel down the road of homelessness? As these individuals navigate the challenges of daily life in unimaginable circumstances, they encounter life-threatening challenges that never seem to end. Despite every obstacle, they find strength and resilience to overcome these hardships through their unbreakable bond and true friendship. No Address is a story of the endurance of the human spirit, offering hope for a better tomorrow.
