The world is full of mixed messages for girls: Stand up for yourself but do it softly. Be independent but not single. Love your body, just make sure it’s waxed, bleached, and thin. And then there are the more overt hostilities: being talked over, paid less, touched without permission, and having politicians debate their right to bodily autonomy. Many parents find it simpler to affirm girls’ strength than to address these distressing experiences directly. But with girls’ skyrocketing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, parenting them in this culture presents an urgent challenge.

It's time to create a future where feminine power and leadership is celebrated. It's time for a radical awakening and a revolution. It's time for women to rise. In Women Rising, you'll discover how to recognise and resist the very real forces of power that limit how you work and live as a woman. Are you tired of being asked to ‘lean in,' fit in, perform and conform? The truth is that women today continue to be constrained by pervasive ideas about how we ‘should' act and behave. To break free, we need to understand the forces that limit our potential.

When we talk about motherhood and politics together, we usually talk about isolated moments - the policing of breastfeeding, or the cost of childcare. But this is not enough: we need to understand motherhood itself as an inherently political state, one that has the potential to pose a serious challenge to the status quo. In Mother State, Helen Charman uses this provocative insight to write a new history of Britain and Northern Ireland. Beginning with Women's Liberation and ending with austerity, the book follows mothers' fights for an alternative future.

In this thought-provoking book, we explore the suffocating pressure on men to conform to societal expectations of masculinity, particularly in African settings where they're expected to be sole providers and emotional rocks. This toxic culture of silence leads to mental health issues, physical health problems, and a shortened life span. We also examine the unspoken pressures on men in Western societies and their impact on mental health. To break this cycle, we must create safe spaces for men to express emotions, challenge societal norms, and encourage open communication.

In Disgendered, Mikel Kelly, a seasoned mental health counselor and theologian, explores the complex and often misunderstood phenomenon of gender incongruence. Drawing on over two decades of experience, Kelly combines professional insights with compassionate guidance to provide a nuanced understanding of gender dysphoria from a Christian perspective.
