BOOKS TO CELEBRATE WOMANS HISTORY MONTH Book Title: When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt By: Kara Cooney Description When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt This riveting narrative explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra--women who ruled with real power--and shines a piercing light on our own perceptions of women in power today. Female rulers are a rare phenomenon--but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. Regularly, repeatedly, and with impunity, queens like Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra controlled the totalitarian state as power-brokers and rulers. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office? What was it about these women that allowed them to transcend patriarchal obstacles? What did Egypt gain from its liberal reliance on female leadership, and could today's world learn from its example?  Celebrated Egyptologist Kara Cooney delivers a fascinating tale of female power, exploring the reasons why it has seldom been allowed through the ages, and why we should care. #purchasebook Moonbokers https://bit.ly/3vFe2v0 @amazon https://amzn.to/2OSLVYL @barnesandnoble https://bit.ly/2PdIOKz #ancientegypt egypt #pharohs #sixqueensofegypt #hatshepsut #cleopatra #nefertiti #womanofpower #patriarchal #femalepharohs #humanhistory #history #historylovers #books #mustread #reads #booklover #reader https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnyn0vsiPe/?igshid=1ha2dz26727d6

Making the Irish American: History and Heritage of the Irish in the United States J.J.Lee Description Featuring 29 classic and original essays on the turbulent, vital, and fascinating story of the Irish in America. The contributors include Linda Dowling Almeida, Margaret Lynch-Brennan, Marion R. Casey, David Noel Doyle, Pete Hamill, Kevin Kenny, Rebecca S. Miller, Mick Moloney, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Peter Quinn, and Calvin Trillin. All it takes is one St. Patrick's Day in the United States to realize that the Irish did not dissolve into the melting pot, they took possession of it. Few other immigrant peoples have exerted such pervasive influence, have left so deep an impression, have made their values and concerns so central to the destiny of their new country. In Making the Irish American, J.J. Lee and Marion R. Casey offer a feast of twenty-nine perspectives on the turbulent, vital, endlessly fascinating story of the Irish in America. Combining original research with reprints of classic works, these essays and articles extend far beyond a survey to offer a truly rich understanding of the Irish immigrant impact on America, and America’s impact on the Irish immigrant. Here the reader will find a brisk, compact history of Ireland itself, and a wide-ranging critique of Irish American historiography, as well as explorations of the multiple complications of religion, reflected in the fluctuating, and sometimes tempestuous, relations between Catholic and Protestant Irish and Scotch-Irish. The authors explore the various channels through which the Irish, men and women, have made their mark, from politics to labor organization, from domestic service to popular and traditional music, from sport to step dancing. Classic reprints include Daniel Patrick Moynihan's study of the Irish in New York, Pete Hamill’s memoir of President Kennedy—recollecting the responses around him in Belfast at the time of the assassination—Calvin Trillin's New Yorker profile of Judge James J. Comerford, long the iron-handed boss of New York's St. Patrick's Day parade.. #purchasebook amazon https://amzn.to/38ICDFq #irish #irishamericanhistory #irishamerican #heritage #historylovers #read https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdJZhFMTY7/?igshid=15hb56de0u3ih

Irish Stories and Folklore: A Collection of Thirty-Six Classic Tales By: Steve Brennan Description Ireland's Finest Writers Together in an Entertaining and Humorous Anthology For a comparatively small country, Ireland’s contributions to the world of literature have been enormous. From the older tradition, Irish writers have inherited a sense of wonder in the face of nature, a narrative style that tends toward the deliberately exaggerated or absurd, and a keen sense of the power of satire. These themes carry through the entire canon of Irish literature, up until modern times. Stephen Brennan brings us this collection of classic stories, essays, and fairytales that inform the past and therefore, the present, of our most beloved fiction. In Irish Stories and Folklore, the reader can revisit old favorites, like Oscar Wilde's short story "The Canterville Ghost," and discover lesser-known treasures such as "The Orange Man, or the Honest Boy and the Thief" by Maria Edgeworth. The imaginative stories contained in this volume are sure to engage the mind and delight readers looking to enhance their knowledge of the rich history of Ireland. About the Author Steve Brennan is an editor, teacher, and playwright with a lifelong fascination with tales of pirates and the high seas. #purchasebook @amazon https://amzn.to/3vrylw2 Of @thriftbooks https://bit.ly/3cuIj79 #irishstories #irishfolktales #irishfolklore #classictales #classictalescollection #irishwriters #anthology #entertaining #belovedstories #classicstories #essays #fairytales #fairytale #oldfavorite #oscarwilde #mariaedgeworth #imaginativestories #readers #readersofinstagram #read #readsforall #bookblogger #books #bookstoread #book #booklover #booklovers #booknerds #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CMa7528sYgY/?igshid=1bprql0104or9

#newbookreview coming MARCH 26, 2021 Don't Let the Monkey Drive the Taxi By Gail Johnson Description There's some serious monkey business going on in Elizabethtown... Former beauty queen Cassie McCoy knows she doesn't deserve love. After all, she as good as killed her fiance Mitchell in Afghanistan when she sent him an "I'm in love with your best friend" letter. Now, two years later, she's avoiding said best friend Darby, while she carries her guilt and Mitchell's ashes with her in the front seat of the taxi she drives. Things go sideways when Cassie is caught in the middle of a heist while picking up a customer at a local night club and her taxi is stolen--along with Mitchell's ashes. As the search begins, a rogue monkey who's been terrorizing the town is abandoned in her cab. What does the monkey have to do with the recent appearance of cocaine-stuffed candy bunny butts, and is Cassie now the monkey's mama? Forging an unlikely alliance with the bitch across the street, an old man intent on being her bodyguard, and a stud-licious cop, Cassie is intent on solving the mysteries and getting Mitchell back...until she realizes there's much more at stake than her missing car. #purchasebook @amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Let-Monkey-Drive-Taxi-ebook/dp/B08LBVXZJL/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dont+let+the+monkey+drive+the+taxi&qid=1615436888&sprefix=dont+let+the+monkey&sr=8-3 #review #newbook #womanauthor #mystery #suspense #drama #adventue #booka #book #bookblog #bookblogger #reads #reader #fiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CMQ-8JbMiYw/?igshid=1rfo3hh00rsp7
