A Frozen Woman charts Ernaux's teenage awakening, and then the parallel progression of her desire to be desirable and her ambition to fulfill herself in her chosen profession - with the inevitable conflict between the two. And then she is thirty years old, a teacher married to an executive, mother of two infant sons. She looks after their nice apartment, raises her children. And yet, like millions of other women, she has felt her enthusiasm and curiosity, her strength and her happiness, slowly ebb under the weight of her daily routine. The very condition that everyone around her seems to consider normal and admirable for a woman is killing her. While each of Ernaux's books contain an autobiographical element, A Frozen Woman, one of Ernaux's early works, concentrates the spotlight piercingly on Annie herself. Mixing affection, rage and bitterness, A Frozen Woman shows us Ernaux's developing art when she still relied on traditional narrative, before the shortened form emerged that has since become her trademark.

Rome is a tinderbox, all it needs is a spark.18 BC. Pomponia, Chief Priestess of the Vestal Order, who has seen Rome through the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire, faces her toughest crisis yet. A ruthless enemy is manipulating her from the shadows, threatening not just Pomponia but those she cares for - including the emperor himself. Worse, it seems that the gods are also against her. The Vestal Order is in an unparalleled crisis that she must answer for. Faced with threats from all directions, Pomponia must be willing to sacrifice everything to protect her status, the Order and the lives of those around her. In this unflinching conclusion to the Vesta Shadows trilogy, Pomponia realises that, like Rome itself, she must become even more ruthless than her enemies if she is to survive. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Stephanie Dray. The Vesta Shadows seriesThe Vesta Shadows trilogy spans decades, from 45 BCE to 14 CE. It follows the life of the Vestal priestess Pomponia Occia, who is inspired by the real Vestal Occia who lived during this time, serving in the Temple of Vesta for more than fifty years. Set during the tumultuous years that saw the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire under Augustus - and beyond - it dramatises some of the major historical events that occurred during her lifetime while simultaneously bringing ancient Rome to life with fast-paced, engrossing and visceral storylines played out by a striking cast of characters.

Ein Buch, das alle Frauen lesen solltenFast alle Frauen leiden in ihrem Leben irgendwann an Zyklusstörungen, Menstruationsproblemen oder zyklusbedingten Beschwerden wie PMS, Stimmungsschwankungen, Lustlosigkeit oder unreiner Haut. Oft bekommen sie dann zu hören, dass ihre Probleme "einfach zum Frausein dazugehören" oder nur mit Hormonpräparaten in den Griff zu bekommen seien. Beides ist absolut falsch, sagt Fruchtbarkeitscoach und Bestsellerautorin Nicole Jardim. Zyklus- und Menstruationsbeschwerden sind nicht normal, sondern deuten auf ein zugrundeliegendes hormonelles Ungleichgewicht hin, das auf einen überlasteten Darm, Stress, Ernährungsfehler, Nährstoffmängel oder andere Ursachen zurückgehen kann. Mit diesem Ratgeber gibt Ihnen Jardim das Wissen an die Hand, um Ihren spezifischen Beschwerden auf die Spur zu kommen und die Kontrolle über Ihren Körper zurückzuerobern. Ganz egal, ob Sie am PCO-Syndrom oder an Endometriose leiden, schwanger werden möchten oder einfach nur unregelmäßige Zyklen oder starke Perioden haben - dieses Buch wird Ihnen helfen, die hormonelle Balance wiederherzustellen und auf natürlichem Weg zu einem harmonischen Zyklus zu finden. Außerdem erfahren Sie, wie Sie die unterschiedlichen Phasen des Zyklus optimal für sich nutzen können, sodass Sie stets die Energie, Motivation und Zuversicht haben, all das zu erreichen, was Sie sich vornehmen.Dieses Buch ist besonders geeignet für alle Frauen mit:-Zyklus- und Hormonstörungen,-zyklusbedingten Beschwerden wie PMS oder PMDS, Krämpfen, Migräne, Schmerzen, unreiner Haut, Stimmungsschwankungen, Lustlosigkeit,-Menstruationsbeschwerden wie starken und schmerzhaften oder zu kurzen und schwachen Perioden,-PCO-Syndrom (PCOS),-Insulinresistenz,-Endometriose, Adenomyose, Myomen,-Fruchtbarkeitsproblemen und Kinderwunsch,-Zyklusunregelmäßigkeiten nach der Entbindung oder in der Perimenopause,-dem Wunsch, auf Hormonpräparate zu verzichten.

Women around the globe, it’s time to finally speak up, speak out, be heard, become stronger than ever, and live more meaningful lives. Women encounter a myriad of obstacles, from sexual harassment to unequal pay to objectification and discrimination. But there are very specific tips that each woman, no matter her age or her station in life, can follow right now to make important and significant changes. In this book, women will learn to flex their mental muscles and hurdle over the roadblocks that keep them from achieving their greatest goals. While many people focus on what women should do to live their best lives, only one author will tell women in no uncertain terms which behaviors to avoid in order to become mentally strong.Now Amy Morin, psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, teaches women everywhere how to fortify themselves and face challenges in this powerful, necessary book for our time, breaking down the thirteen habits and mind-sets that women must avoid in order to master their mental strength. These thirteen tried-and-true principles show women how to tackle problems and tough situations in order to live their best—and most powerful—lives, and there’s no better guide through the process than Morin, the leading global voice on mental strength. Drawing on scientific evidence, case studies from her own patients, and even celebrity stories of hardship and triumph, Morin shows how mental strength can come from anywhere regardless of career, marriage, or family life. From introducing ways to stop blaming yourself to becoming a rule-breaker, Morin demonstrates how to navigate some of the hardest challenges that women face, while proposing experience-based solutions that promote mental fortitude. By integrating these easy-to-follow exercises and practical tips into daily life, Morin shows that mental strength is achievable—and necessary—to become a strong woman. In addition she discusses how mental strength practice can help with the difficult realities of sexism that still exist even in the era of the #MeToo movement and awareness of workplace harassment, providing specific strategies for dealing with these persistent issues. Featuring stories and experiences from dozens of women and offering a timely approach to the hard-hitting difficulties women are facing—including calling out sexism, fighting harassment, and finding confidence—Morin confronts the status quo by giving women the time, space, and energy to prioritize themselves. The end result frees you from the confusing practices and obstacles that women face every day, and helps inspire you to achieve the mental strength you need to create a life of authentic meaning and joy.

“Unconventional. . . . Not a garden-variety rock memoir . . . [but] a strange and lovely book about  a woman finding and losing herself onstage and off and crafting a complicated creative life when  none of the molds quite fit.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review“Engaging and surprisingly intimate.”—Vanity Fair“More than a memoir, though one of the most riveting music biographies ever penned.”—Examiner.comFor many, Kim Gordon, vocalist, bassist, and founding member of Sonic Youth—one of the most influential and successful bands to emerge from the post-punk New York scene—has always represented the epitome of cool. And almost as celebrated as the band’s defiantly dissonant sound was the marriage between Gordon and her then husband, Thurston Moore. When it was announced that the couple was splitting after twenty-seven years of marriage, fans were devastated.In Girl in a Band, this famously reserved superstar speaks candidly about her past and the future. From her childhood in the sunbaked suburbs of Southern California, growing up with a mentally ill sibling, to New York’s downtown art and music scene in the eighties and nineties and the birth of a band that would pave the way for acts like Nirvana, as well as help inspire the Riot Grrl generation, here is an edgy and evocative portrait of a life in art.Exploring the artists, musicians, and writers who influenced her, and the relationship that defined her life for so long, Girl in a Band is filled with the sights and sounds of a pre-Internet world and is a deeply personal portrait of a woman who has become an icon.
