This anthology assembles two decades’ of work initiated by SisterSong Women of Color Health Collective, who created the human rights-based “reproductive justice” to move beyond polarized pro-choice/pro-life debates. Rooted in Black feminism and built on intersecting identities, this revolutionary framework asserts a woman's right to have children, not have children, and to parent and provide for the children they have.

A Groovy 1970s Fairy Tale

Rapunzel

Kate Baxter is a happy, young professional woman whose life is torn apart when David, her husband, becomes physically abusive. For the first few years, they had what Kate often called a "too normal" marriage. Two years ago, all that mysteriously changed. An unexplained moodiness has now turned to anger and rage. When Kate threatens to leave with their son if the abuse doesn't stop, David promises to kill her if she does and then whispers a shocking secret that she's not sure she even believes. Discouraged by ineffective legal remedies, Kate flees with their son to another city and takes on a new identity. While David searches for clues to their whereabouts, he is questioned by a police detective who has new leads in a baffling homicide investigation. David and the detective both race against time in their respective pursuits. A Simple Choice is a gripping story of how the human spirit can be paralyzed by fear and doubt, yet set free by a simple choice. It touches the place within each of us that cries out for hope, courage, and freedom.

A Simple Choice

Paul Mitchell

This book is the culmination of over twenty years' work by Mitchell and Roberts, widely known frame historians and consultants. They have undertaken photographic surveys of frames in most major museums in Europe and North America, as well as in many historic houses and exhibitions. This analysis of frame styles and their inter-relationships over eight centuries is organised by nationality and period with fifty-six carefully constructed diagrams in the form of framemakers' pattern books, interspersed with thirty-eight plates of framed paintings. Components are drawn directly from photographs of 268 frames original or contemporary to their pictures.

A History of European Picture Frames

A treasury of fairy tales with a difference – feminist, sparky and set in different decades of the 20th century, with funky clothes and recognisable settings. A stunning collaboration between the brilliant illustrator David Roberts and his talented writer sister Lynn. This special collection includes: a feminist Sleeping Beauty, set in the 1950s (and 2950s), in a story populated entirely with women and girls (no princes needed here!) a 1970s Rapunzel whose friend plays in a rock band a 1920s-set Cinderella with flapper girls and a fashion-conscious fairy godmother. These are all deliciously, delightfully different takes on the fairy tales we all know.
