Throughout the campaign, Sanders made campaign finance a key part of his platform, calling repeatedly for a repeal of Citizens United.Ī 501(c)(4) is technically a “social-welfare organization,” and can receive unlimited, undisclosed contributions. Our Revolution’s issues page has a section devoted to “Big Money in Politics,” which decries super PACs and calls for “legislation to require wealthy individuals and corporations who make large campaign contributions to disclose where their money is going.” The page contains much of the same language that the money in politics issue page on Sanders’ campaign site did. A new group, Our Revolution, launched this week to continue the movement that his campaign started by raising and spending money to support “candidates in lockstep with Sanders’ ideals.” But it’s disappointing many who agreed with Sanders’ call for getting money out of politics because as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, the group would not be required to disclose its donors.

She enrolled Laura in classes at Rubicam's Business College, hoping that a career in business would make Laura self-sufficient. She busies herself caring for her "glass menagerie," a collection of delicate little glass animals.Īmanda dreams constantly of the long-ago days when she was a young Southern belle and the darling of her small town's social scene. She is also slightly lame in one leg, and she seldom leaves the apartment of her own volition. Laura is a frightened and terribly shy girl, with unbelievably weak nerves. He works at the Continental Shoemakers warehouse during the day, but he disappears nightly "to the movies." Amanda is a loving mother, but her meddling and nagging are hard to live with for Tom, who is a grown man and who earns the wages that support the entire family. Their father abandoned them years earlier, and Tom is now the family's breadwinner. In 1937 they live together in a small apartment in St. The action of the play centers on Tom, his mother Amanda, and his sister Laura. The narrator addresses us from the undated and eternal present, although at the play's first production (1944-5), Tom's constant indirect references to the violence of the Second World War would have been powerfully current. The events of the play are framed by memory - Tom Wingfield is the play's narrator, and usually smokes and stands on the fire escape as he delivers his monologues. The action of The Glass Menagerie takes place in the Wingfield family's apartment in St. Her husband, who has become her very best friend, but nothing more.Her husband, who plans to reunite with his childhood sweetheart, the beautiful and newly widowed Isabelle, as soon as he has honored the pact with his wife.Īs the hour they truly become husband-and-wife draws near, both Millie and Fitzhugh must face the truth in their hearts.

Because of her youth, they have agreed to wait eight years before consummating the marriage-and then, only to beget an heir. And in return, the Earl Fitzhugh receives the benefit of her vast wealth, saving his family from bankruptcy. She gets to be a Countess by marrying an impoverished Earl. Millicent understands the terms of her arranged marriage all too well. This theme seemed to me to be an erotic version of 'Jane Eyre', and possibly explains, in part, that novel's enduring appeal to women! This was the idea of a man coming into their life who would make them, initially against their will, explore their own sexuality in ways they would never have been willing to suggest themselves. The results were very interesting, and one common theme cropped up again and again. I researched my book by inviting groups of female friends round, plying them with wine and then asking them about their secret sexual fantasies. The erotic fiction market had always been written with men as the target reader, even though a considerable number of women did read them. No one involved in the launch of Black Lace had any idea of how the books would be received, as the concept of 'erotic fiction, written for women by women' was an entirely new one. It was very exciting for me to be invited to write one of the four launch titles, but also slightly nerve wracking. I can't believe that 15 years have passed since I wrote 'Cassandra's Conflict'. 2 This book, along with Pierre Raton’s earlier research, provides sufficient material to analyze Liechtenstein’s development. David Beattie, former British Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, published a comprehensive history of Liechtenstein in 2004. Recent scholarship, however, allows us to examine the reasons for Liechtenstein’s success. In fact, in 2003, Liechtensteiners voted to give the monarchy even more power, prompting the BBC to remark that they had “voted to make their prince an absolute monarch again.” 1 Liechtenstein’s monarchy, unlike the monarchies in most other European states, retains extensive powers and is involved in the day-today operations of government. Furthermore, many saw no need to study Liechtenstein, viewing it as an accident of history with an anachronistic political system. However, there has been little analysis of Liechtenstein’s development because the scant research that existed was in German and therefore inaccessible to most American scholars. Liechtenstein has long been recognized as one of the most free and prosperous countries in the world. Germain weaves together women's narratives to show the women not as victims per se but as individuals with the power to overcome these traumatic experiences. She reframes conversations about sexual violence and student agency on American college campuses by drawing insight directly from the stories of how survivors responded individually to attacks, as well as how and why peers, family members, and school, medical, and civil authorities were (or were not) engaged in addressing the crimes. Germain, Lauren J. Germain focuses attention on the post–sexual assault experiences of twenty-six college women. After campus sexual assault women respond /. A principal reason for this lack of understanding is that the voices of women who have experienced campus sexual assault have been largely absent from academic discourse about the issue. Funded Scholars receive awards intended to support research visits of four to six weeks, and give a work-in-progress colloquium to the Smith College. Despite more than fifty years of anti-rape activism and over two decades of federal legislation regarding campus sexual violence, sexual assault on American college and university campuses remains prevalent, underreported, and poorly understood. Survivors of campus sexual assault share the stories of how they confronted and overcame the trauma of being attacked.Ī 2014 report issued by the White House Council on Women and Girls included the alarming statistic that one in five female college students in the United States experiences some form of campus sexual assault. Captured on videos in high fidelity were the depravity of these duplicitous scum. Unbeknownst to these sleazy men of industry and politics was the presence of hidden cameras in all the bedrooms of his six homes. He has wined and dined them, and provided underage girls for their pleasure. In a cinematic narrative akin to The Magnificent Seven (or its antecedent, The Seven Samurai) he craftily assembles his band of seven beloved assassins.Īndrew Schrader, one of the world’s most influential financiers, has for decades cultivated and collected the allegiance of powerful people, such as politicians, corporate titans and media barons. Eisler has managed to bring together his “beloved” band of killers and operatives for one righteous mission to assault the forces that would allow and protect the heinous monsters behind child trafficking.

I felt like that made her anxiety really present. She pulls you into her headspace, laying out her fears and worries in a frank thought train. I loved BLADE OF SECRETS, and specifically the way Ziva’s anxiety is described. The forge has always been Ziva’s safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she’s not sure just how much of herself she’ll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn and take center stage in the very war she’s been trying to stop. When the events that follow lead to Ziva and Kellyn’s capture by an ambitious prince, Ziva is forced into the very situation she’s been dreading: magicking dangerous weapons meant for world domination. Ziva is forced into a breakneck race to a nearby city with the handsome mercenary, Kellyn, and the young scholar, Petrik, to find a powerful magical healer who can save her sister’s life.
