Born: 1753
Died: 1784 (aged 31) Known For: First African-American published. Notable Works: “To the King's Most Excellent Majesty”, “On being brought from Africa to America”, “On Virtue” In historical novels, especially those set in medieval Europe, it’s rare that you find young women portrayed so compellingly. Catherine, the novel’s protagonist and exclusive narrator (the novel is written in diary form) is a fourteen-year-old girl living on her father’s manor in Lincolnshire, England during the late 1200s. Catherine has flaws, and is occasionally unlikeable, but in the end, is a fiercely independent, yet extremely selfless and kind girl.
Throughout the course of the novel, Catherine’s father, a crass and controlling man, attempts to marry her off to a series of horrific suitors. What ensues is a sequence of rather entertaining antics to ward them off, which remain successful until a man Catherine dubs “lord shaggy beard” an violent, drunk, and most importantly rich baron to whom her father succeeds in selling her to. Distraught, but not willing to give up without a fight, she attempts to run away. When she returns, she discovers that her betrothed had been killed in a bar fight, and that she was now promised to his apparently non-violent and educated son.
You might think that because of their composition over four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s plays won’t have that many strong female characters, but as a bona-fide Shakespeare nerd myself, I can tell you that he wrote some of the smartest, bravest, and truly fascinating women in English Literature. Here are five of them. Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing The first thing we find out about Beatrice during the play, is that she can hold her own in an argument. Her quick-witted sparing matches between she and her nemesis (and eventual lover), Benedick are some of the most shining moments in this classic comedy. When a great wrong is committed against her gentle and innocent cousin, Hero, based on a misogynistic and plainly false accusation of promiscuity, Beatrice refuses to accept it, demanding justice, and eventually gaining it, along with a happy ending. THE FORMATION WORLD TOUR has just launched after Beyonce dropped her new song, Formation, and then performed at the Super Bowl. She is coming to Atlanta, Georgia, on May 1st at at 6 pm.

in a lifetime experience okay this is Beyonce... live. Grab your tickets while you can because they are going to be sold out FAST. Women cannot have arguments properly. You cannot feel too strongly, care too much, or in any way seem invested in the topic at hand without hearing the all too familiar. “You’re being too emotional” or “Calm down, stop shouting.” It is assumed immediately that you are taking things to the extreme, making a fuss where there was none to begin with. Passion or partiality is tied back to your melodrama. Even as girls we are called drama queens. Boys don’t cry (a damaging stereotype on its own), and it is easy to call this relative acceptance of women’s tears as an advantage. However, just because it is expected for girls to cry and boys to ‘suck it up’, doesn’t keep the label of women as overly emotional from being damaging. Women who participate in conflict of any kind often have their arguments negated by supposed overreaction. It’s why we hear about ex-girlfriends who were ‘crazy’ or ‘insane’, but our ex-boyfriends often escape such reasons for a breakup.
Love is a Dog from Hell :: Charles BukowskiIf you are looking for some amazing short poems that have excellent wording and metaphors, but also very cliche and simple, then this is a good book to check out. It is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the human body and heart and everything the comes with being human. This book can be checked out at the IRC. Not convinced? Check out these quotes:
