A Fighting Chance by Elizabeth Warren6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() She does not talk about her Republican past in either of her books or as part of the biography she recounts in her stump speech the information often comes as a surprise even to Beltway politicos and longtime Warren allies. ![]() In a recent interview over tea at her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she said she assumes the first time she registered as a Democrat was 1996, but added, “I’m not even 100 percent sure what I was registered as.” According to Warren, in the six presidential elections she voted in before 1996, she cast her ballot for just one GOP nominee, Gerald Ford in 1976. ![]() Warren has acknowledged her Republican past before, but she does not often discuss it, or else downplays it. It was not until 1996-when Warren was 47 years old and a newly minted Harvard law professor-that she changed her registration from Republican to Democrat. But records from the time Warren spent living in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts make clear that she was a registered Republican for at least several years of her midcareer adult life. For many years before she entered politics, the woman now at the forefront of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party was a Republican.Ĭounty governments in New Jersey and Texas, where Warren lived in the 1970s and ’80s, could not locate Warren’s voter registration records, and the senator herself is circumspect about her political past. But Warren used to be on the other side of the fight she is now waging. ![]() Women in art rachel ignotofsky6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() "It's eye-opening and awe-inspiring to see how women artists have shaped the world over the centuries.

I was effortlessly drawn into Max’s story and I loved the bait’n’switches Brubaker threw in - just when you think, aha, I know where this is going, nope! And then again - and then again! It’s great - I love it when a writer can do that with his audience so well. Unsurprisingly Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have produced another cracking comic with their latest, Pulp. But he decides to make sure he goes out well - leaving his wife Rosa with enough to comfortably get by in her retirement and take out some Nazis too. It’s the winter of 1939 in New York City and the aptly-named Max Winter (not just because of the season the story takes place in but because Max is in the “winter” of his life), a struggling Western pulp fiction writer, gets some bad news. That’s the reason we survived so long… Because this world belongs to monsters. ![]() The mark of athena next book6/11/2023 ![]() Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Rick's first novel featuring the heroic young demigod, was the overall winner of the Red House Children's Book Award in 2006.

The struggle for jobs reached far beyond the workplace to transform American culture. Weaving a powerful and memorable narrative, MacLean demonstrates the life-altering impact of the Civil Rights Act and the movement for economic advancement that it fostered. We meet the grassroots activists-rank-and-file workers, community leaders, trade unionists, advocates, lawyers-and their allies in government who fight for fair treatment, as we also witness the conservative forces that assembled to resist their demands. Tracing the struggle to open the American workplace to all, MacLean chronicles the cultural and political advances that have irrevocably changed our nation over the past fifty years.įreedom Is Not Enough reveals the fundamental role jobs play in the struggle for equality. In this bold and groundbreaking work, Nancy MacLean shows how African-American and later Mexican-American civil rights activists and feminists concluded that freedom alone would not suffice: access to jobs at all levels is a requisite of full citizenship. How did such a transformation come about? Today, diversity in the workforce is a point of pride. In the 1950s, the exclusion of women and of black and Latino men from higher-paying jobs was so universal as to seem normal to most Americans. ![]() |
