“Kingdom of the Blind”

A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel.

By Louise Penny

Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors had never met the elderly woman either.

Great Decisions

India and Pakistan

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi rode a wave of Hindu nationalism to a historic reelection in 2019. His first order of business was to revoke the special status granted to the Kashmir region, inflaming the rivalry between India and Pakistan. How will the Kashmir situation affect the region, both economically and politically?

AAUW-FL RELEASES NEW RESEARCH ON ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR WORKING BLACK WOMEN IN FLORDA

Dr. Mary Gatta, Associate Professor of Sociology at the City University of New York and a part-time Florida resident, has released her latest report commissioned by AAUW of Florida. The title is Working Black Women in Florida and Economic Insecurity: A Story of Gender and Racial Inequality.

Dr. Gatta was to have introduced this report to us at the state convention, but in lieu of that, she has recorded a brief interview that is available on the AAUW Florida Facebook page. In observation of Black Women's Equal Pay Day, she will record a longer presentation to be sent out on August 15. This could provide a good topic for a branch meeting in the new year.

The Flagler, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Sarasota, and Tampa Branches supported this research through AAUW-Florida state grants, and the Weston branch supported it through member contributions.

Here is the websites where you can find executive summaries and the complete report:
