Martha was the youngest of sixteen, handpicked reporters who filed accurate, confidential reports on the human stories behind the statistics of the Depression directly to Roosevelt`s White House. From these pages, we understand the real cost of sudden destitution on a vast scale. We taste the dust in the mouth, smell the disease & feel the hopelessness & the despair. & here, too, we can hear the earliest cadences of a writer who went on to become, arguably, the greatest female war reporter of the 20th century. ...

Irshad Manji calls herself a Muslim refusenik. ' That doesn't mean I refuse to be a Muslim, ' she writes, 'it simply means I refuse to join an army of automatons in the name of Allah.' These automatons, Manji argues, include many so-called moderate Muslims in the West. In blunt, provocative & deeply personal terms, she unearths the troubling cornerstones of Islam as it is widely practised: tribal insularity, deep-seated anti-Semitism & an uncritical acceptance of the Koran as the final, & therefore superior, manifesto of God. In this open letter to Muslims & non-Muslims alike, Manji breaks the conspicuous silence that surrounds mainstream Islam with a series of pointed questions: ' Why are we all being held hostage by what's happening between the Palestinians & the Israelis? Who is the real coloniser of Muslims
- America or Arabia? How can we read the Koran literally when it's so contradictory & ambiguous? Why are we squandering the talents of women, fully half of God's creation?' Not one to be satisfied with merely criticising, Manji offers a practical vision of how Islam can undergo a reformation that empowers women, promotes respect for religious minorities & fosters a competition of ideas. Her vision revives Islam's lost tradition of independent thought. The recipient of death threats as well as heartfelt support from her co-religionists, Manji will inspire struggling Muslims worldwide to revisit the foundations of their faith. She will also compel non-Muslims to start posing the questions we all have about Islam today. In that spirit, The Trouble with Islam is a clarion call for a fatwa-free future.

CAN WOMEN BE GENIUSES? OR ARE THEIR ARMS TOO SHORT? WHY DID WE ONLY LEARN ABOUT THREE WOMEN AT SCHOOL? WHAT WERE ALL THE OTHERS DOING? The Trouble With Women does for girls what 1066 & All That did for boys: it reminds us of what we were taught about women in history lessons at school, which is to say, not a lot. A brilliantly witty book of cartoons, it reveals some of our greatest thinkers` baffling theories about women. We learn that even Charles Darwin, long celebrated for his open, objective scientific mind, believed that women would never achieve anything important, because of their smaller brains. Get ready to laugh, wince & rescue forgotten women from the `dustbin of history`, whilst keeping a close eye out for tell-tale `genius hair`. You will never look at history in the same way again. ...
