Misogyny: The World's Oldest Prejudice
by J. Holland
|
This hard hitting and well written book begins with a beautiful tribute to the late Jack Holland by his daughter, Jenny Holland, together in his last days they worked together to complete this very important project. Although this is very tough subject matter Jack Holland presents his facts, and research in a clear and accessible style, allowing the reader to digest the information and still maintain some hope for a better future. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the history of and the roots of misogyny.

We Have Always Been Here
by Samra Habib
|
A brave and fascinating story of self-discovery. I picked this book up with no expectations - an intriguing title? Eye-catching cover? A world so utterly different from my own? But I was quickly drawn into the story of Samra's search to escape what she perceived as the shackles of Islam in order to find out who she was and her journey back to embrace her religion with fresh eyes and understanding.
