Title: The Icon and the Idealist: Margaret Sanger, Mary Ware Dennett, and the Rivalry That Brought Birth Control to America Author: Stephanie Gorton Narrator: Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 41 minutes Release date: November 26, 2024 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: A riveting history about the little-known rivalry between Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett that profoundly shaped reproductive rights in America In the 1910s, as the birth control movement was born, two leaders emerged: Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett. While Sanger would go on to found Planned Parenthood, Dennett’s name has largely faded from public knowledge. Each held a radically different vision for what reproductive autonomy and birth control access should look like in America. Few are aware of the fierce personal and political rivalry that played out between Sanger and Dennett over decades—a battle that had a profound impact on the lives of American women. Meticulously researched and vividly drawn, The Icon and the Idealist reveals how and why these two women came to activism, the origins of the clash between them, and the ways in which their missteps and breakthroughs have reverberated across American society for generations. With deep archival scope and rigorous execution, Stephanie Gorton weaves together a personal narrative of two fascinating women and the political history of a country rocked by changing social norms, the Depression, and a fervor for eugenics. Refusing to shy away from the enmeshed struggles of race, class, and gender, Gorton has made a sweeping examination of every force that has come in the way of women’s reproductive freedom. Brimming with insight and compelling portraits of women’s struggles throughout the twentieth century, The Icon and the Idealist is a comprehensive history of a radical cultural movement.

Title: Broke Heart Blues: A Novel Author: Joyce Carol Oates Narrator: Barton Caplan, Vas Eli, Finlay Stevenson, Chris Andrew Ciulla, Brittany Pressley, Linda Jones, Fred Berman, Cassandra Campbell, Joyce Carol Oates Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 36 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: The much-anticipated reissue of a novel that is one of Joyce Carol Oates’s personal favorites among her oeuvre; featuring a new afterword by Oates IN THE HEART OF A LANGUID JULY, ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD JOHN REDDY HEART drives a traffic-stopping, salmon-colored Cadillac into the quiet upstate town of Willowsville, New York. His mother, Dahlia Heart, a blackjack dealer, has brought her family east from Las Vegas to claim the rambling mansion left to her by a wealthy suitor. But it is John Reddy—already growing into a heartbreaking hybrid of James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Elvis Presley—who will claim the town itself. It is John Reddy who will arouse the desire of Willowsville’s teenage girls and the worship of its boys, the fear and envy of its men, and the yearning of its women. And it is John Reddy who will capture the town’s soul forever on the night a prominent citizen is shot dead in Dahlia Heart’s bedroom—and a statewide manhunt sweeps Willowsville’s rebel outlaw into the realm of living myth. Over the course of thirty years, Broke Heart Blues charts the rise and fall—and the ultimate call to reckoning— of John Reddy Heart, through the myriad voices of those who find him their whipping boy, savior, dream lover, and confessor. At once a scathing indictment of the cultlike nature of fame and celebrity in America and a deeply moving mediation on human need and longing, the novel explores loneliness, and the profound price we pay for our desires and dreams.

Sullivan Narrator: Lisa Larsen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 13 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Many of us give up on prayer when we don't get the answer we want WHEN we want it. For nearly two decades, Saint Monica prayed for her wayward son. Years and years of prayers, seemingly unanswered. Countless tears shed with no relief. Yet she would not give up. That very act of persistent prayer blessed the entire Church, for we have all benefitted from the conversion of her son, Augustine, who became one of the most revered saints of all time. Parents of any age or at any stage can cultivate the same virtues in prayer that Saint Monica discovered during her long wait for God's answer for her child. This devotion includes eighteen contemporary reflections, meditations taken from the writings of Saint Augustine, and prayers adapted from the liturgy and other ancient sources. Don't give up. Persistence in prayer can change everything—for you, your children, and maybe even the world.

Title: The End of Empire: 1805-1862 Author: Daniel O'Connell, Red Jacket, Charles Phillips, Giuseppe Garibaldi, George Graham Vest, Robert Emmet, Napoleon Bonaparte, William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass Narrator: Charles Featherstone Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 47 minutes Release date: October 4, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: No discussion of the 19th Century is complete without Napoleon. We begin with Charles Phillips’ eulogy, summarizing the strangeness and contradiction of the most influential man of his time. Followed by 7 brief speeches by Napoleon himself. Two speeches chronicle the injustice and tyranny of British rule. Robert Emmet’s Speech From The Dock in 1803 is a classic of Irish Republicanism, given after sentence of death has been pronounced upon him for treason against the British. It is a speech intended for history, and sums up the fires that kept his homeland fighting for another century for their liberation. O’Connell’s Justice For Ireland, given 33 years later, shows that the passion that drove Emmett remained in the Irish heart, given in a more measured and technical tone, but driven by the same certainty that only with freedom could justice be found for the Irish people. Red Jacket’s speech contrasts the belief system of the Native Americans with that of the Christian invasion from Europe. It is paired with a speech about the hypocrisy of government and the selective application of the rule of law, Douglass’ speech given about slavery on the 4th of July (America’s independence day). Following is Douglass’ most renowned speech, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” This powerful statement of self-determination continues to resonate today. Garrison’s speech on the death of John Brown is given after the Harper’s Ferry incident, which was the first event ever communicated by telegraph, and rang the starting bell for the American civil war. Next is a rousing speech from Italy by Garibaldi, calling mankind to arms in a new era of revolution and social change. Lastly a humorous speech from George Vest in tribute to dogs. After all, however dark the world seems, however much revolution and madness taint the air…we will always be blessed by the love and loyalty of our four-footed friends.

Forgives him despite her doubts. She loves him…just because. Her heart isn't sensible or guarded enough. Not by a sight. She’s a walking raw nerve ending of emotion, as if the celibate years she'd spent before him made her more emotional, more vulnerable, more foolish. And she agreed to all of it yesterday and today. She’d agree to it tomorrow and forever, but for one thing. There might not be a tomorrow for her king.

Title: The Road Is Good: How a Mother's Strength Became a Daughter's Purpose Author: Uzo Aduba Narrator: Uzo Aduba Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 9 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A powerful, timely memoir of Black immigrant identity, the story of an unforgettable matriarch, and a unique coming-of-age story by Nigerian American actress Uzo Aduba. The actress Uzo Aduba came of age grappling with a master juggling act: as one of few Black families in their white Massachusetts suburb, she and her siblings were the unexpected presence in whatever school room or sports team they joined. But Aduba was also rooted by a fierce and nonnegotiable sense of belonging and extraordinary worth that stemmed from her mother’s powerful vision for her children, and their connection to generations of family in Nigeria. The alchemy of being out of place yet driven by fearless conviction powered Aduba to success.  The Road Is Good is more than the journey of a young woman determined to survive young adulthood — and to create a workable identity for herself. It is the story of an incredible mother and a testament to matriarchal power. When Aduba’s mother falls ill, the origin of her own power crystallizes and Aduba leaps into a caretaker role, uniquely prepared by the history and tools her mother passed along to become steward of her ancestoral legacy.   Deeply mining her family history—gripping anecdotes her mother, aunts, and uncles shared in passing at family celebrations and her own discoveries through countless auditions in New York and her travels to Nigeria—Aduba pieces together a life story imbued with guiding lessons that are both personal and profoundly universal.

Title: [Spanish] - La constitución desconocida: Teoría y práctica de todo lo que siempre quisiste saber sobre tu Constitución(pero no te atreviste a preguntar) Author: Juan Jesús Garza Onofre, Javier Martín Reyes Narrator: Javier Martín Reyes, Juan Jesús Garza Onofre Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 47 minutes Release date: August 22, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Un libro para entender los fundamentos de nuestra Constitución y su importancia en la vida diaria de todas las personas ¿Por qué si nuestra Constitución fue la primera en reconocer derechos sociales —antes incluso que la rusa y la de Weimar— va tan rezagada en lo que toca a hacerlos efectivos? ¿Es motivo de orgullo que tengamos la sexta constitución más extensa a nivel mundial? ¿Qué quiere decir el hecho de que nuestra Constitución, promulgada en 1917, lleve más de 700 reformas? ¿Esto nos habla de un texto versátil, que se adapta a los tiempos, o, por el contrario, es señal de inestabilidad y oportunismo político? Ante este panorama de contradicciones, Juan Jesús Garza Onofre y Javier Martín Reyes señalan: la Constitución es demasiado importante para dejarla en manos de abogados y políticos. En ella se encuentran reconocidos los derechos de todas las personas, así como las reglas que nos hemos dado como sociedad. Por ello, debemos desmitificar la Constitución, dejar de verla como una reliquia ante la cual hay que inclinar la cabeza y más como un dispositivo útil para mejorar nuestra realidad cotidiana. Éste es el objetivo de este libro. Dividido en dos partes, teoría y práctica, aborda primero diez cuestiones esenciales de toda constitución —como los derechos fundamentales, las formas de Estado y Gobierno, la división de poderes, el pluralismo—, para luego revisar cómo se han llevado a la práctica en el caso de la Constitución mexicana. Sólo conociendo nuestra Constitución —nos dicen los autores—, reflexionando críticamente sobre sus virtudes y flaquezas, podremos apropiarnos de ella. En los tiempos que corren quizá sea la mejor forma de hacerle frente al autoritarismo.
