Girl Without a Country “Girl Without A Country”, was written during a period of time when my life was completely shattered as the pain, misery and hopelessness of my surroundings in the Cabrini Green Housing Complex in Chicago, left the residents and I feeling completely isolated from the rest of the world. After desperately pleading with the police and the news media to help us in our plight; quietly meeting amongst ourselves and trying to keep the fear that had taken control from showing on our faces; I was inspired to write this collection of poetry. Over a period of years, I added to the collection.

Feminasty: The Complicated Woman's Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death <p>From the wickedly funny and feminist creator and host of the <i>Throwing Shade</i> podcast, a collection of hilarious personal essays and political commentary perfect for fans of Lindy West and Roxane Gay. </p> <p>Since women earned the right to vote a little less than 100 years ago, our progress hasn't been the Olympic sprint toward gender equality first-wave feminists hoped for, but more of a slow, elderly mall walk (with frequent stops to Cinnabon) over the 400 million hurdles we still face. Some of these obstacles are obvious - unequal pay, underrepresentation in government, reproductive restrictions, lack of floor-length mirrors in hotel rooms. But a lot of them are harder to identify. They're the white noise of oppression that we've accepted as lady business as usual, and the patriarchy wants to keep it that way. </p> <p>Erin Gibson has a singular goal - to create a utopian future where women are recognized as humans. In <i>Feminasty </i>- titled after her nickname on the hit podcast <i>Throwing Shade</i> - she has written a collection of make-you-laugh-until-you-cry essays that expose the hidden rules that make life as a woman unnecessarily hard and deconstructs them in a way that's bold, provocative, and hilarious. Whether it's shaming women for having their periods, allowing them into STEM fields but never treating them like they truly belong, or dictating strict rules for how they should dress in every situation, Erin breaks down the organized chaos of old-fashioned sexism, intentional and otherwise, that systemically keeps women down. </p> The Missing Sister <p><b>A STOLEN SISTER.

It was meant to be an epic journey, crossing the United States, the Pacific, and Siberia—but when Hitler invades Russia, a week-long stay in Yokohama, Japan becomes six years of quasi-detention, as Hildegarde and her family are stranded in Japan until the war’s end. In this spellbinding memoir, Mahoney recounts her family’s moving saga, from their courage in the face of terrible difficulties—including forced relocation, scarce rations, brutal winters in the Japanese Alps—to their joyous reunion with their German relatives in Hamburg, and their eventual return to New York City in 1950. Richly detailed and remarkably vivid, <i>Journey Interrupted</i> is a story unlike any other—the inspiring tale of an extraordinary family adapting to the hazards of fate, and finding salvation in each other.
