The winter solstice, the day the "sun stands still," marks the longest night and the shortest day of the year, and it comes either on December 20th or 21st. Celebrations honoring the winter solstice as a moment of transition and renewal date back thousands of years and occur among many peoples on every continent. The Return of the Light makes an ideal companion for everyone who carries on this tradition, no matter what their faith.

"It's a truism, for instance, that a few clothes are more shocking than none. But for women especially, bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without those visual references, however, each individual woman's body can be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique."

In this collection of essays, Lambda Literary Award-winning writer and longtime activist and performance artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha explores the politics and realities of disability justice, a movement that centers the lives and leadership of sick and disabled queer, trans, Black, and brown people, with knowledge and gifts for all.

The six wives of Henry VIII have become defined in a popular sense not so much by their lives as by the way these lives ended. But, as Antonia Fraser conclusively proves, they were rich and feisty characters. They may have been victims of Henry's obsession with a male heir, but they displayed considerable strength and intelligence at a time when their sex supposedly possessed little of either. Inevitably there was great rivalry and jealously between them. The story Antonia Fraser tells is romantic and cruel, funny and sad, dramatic and enthralling.

Sophie Passmann hat mit "Pick me Girls" nicht nur ihr persönlichstes Buch geschrieben, sondern auch eine kluge Auseinandersetzung mit dem männlichen Blick. Ihr Memoir zeichnet ein stellvertretendes Frauenleben nach und wirft die Frage auf: Welche Version von ihr selbst hätte Sophie Passmann sein können, wenn das Patriarchat nicht existieren würde? Warum wir alle "pick me girls" sind und welche Unmöglichkeiten Sophie Passmann und höchstwahrscheinlich auch jede andere Frau im Laufe ihres Lebens ertragen muss, das seziert Sophie Passmann so scharf und klug wie keine andere.
