Cunningham, John (27 April 2002). "The real Robinson Crusoe". The Guardian . Retrieved 25 March 2014. Natalie Barney’s chapter is the weakest—largely due to its sanguine quality, jumping from mini biography to mini biography to adequately illustrate (some of her) many lovers. A study of the anti-patriarchal women who played essential roles in the development of 20th-century modernism.

I saw her critique of chapo and red scare as unlistenable and I have to say having listened to red scare that this one is much more unlistenable Found myself waiting to hear an actual point being said but things are either alluded to or taken as a matter of fact or if a point is made it’s often rephrased a couple more times to idk fill up time I guess For someone criticising chapo and red scare for having an upper middle class college educated audience and not being politically educational I really expected this to be better and it’s almost funny how much she just described her own audience It really feels in hindsight a narcissism of small differences and honestly the only way to listen to this podcast is as n accessory to tell yourself you’re a smart cutting edge leftist No Modernism Without Lesbians is a collection of four biographies of women who were instrumental to the modernist movement in literature and art: Shakespeare and Co. proprietor and publisher Sylvia Beach, patron of the arts Bryher, author and art collector Gertrude Stein, and socialite Natalie Barney.

Also announced at Saturday’s event was the Polari First Book prize, which has this year been awarded to criminal barrister Mohsin Zaidi for his memoir A Dutiful Boy. Already a Guardian, New Statesman and GQ book of the year, this debut recounts the author’s experience of growing up gay in a devout Muslim household and being in denial about his sexuality.

Between Love Island, Love is Blind, FBoy Island, Sexy Beasts, Too Hot to Handle etc, we sure do love watching hot straight people be tortured for the possibility of love. Cameron and Jessa discuss why these properties are still considered "guilty pleasures" despite the harm they are doing and why they all seem to be designed by incels. Availability of research material was one limiting factor,” says Souhami in explaining the absence of women of color in her work. “Another was the reluctance of mainstream publishers to commission books about little-known people. I hope, despite this, I’ve made a contribution.”Souhami gets much of her information on Renee Vivien's life outside of Natalie Clifford Barney from Colette's The Pure and The Impure, which is...not like the most reputable source? I'm mostly disappointed because I was hoping to learn some new information on Vivien, and instead I got a rehashing of Colette's piece on her.

They were all women who loved women. They rejected the patriarchy and made lives of their own - forming a community around them in Paris. Murder at Wrotham Hill (2012) is an account of the 1946 murder of Dagmar Petrzywalski and the subsequent investigation and prosecution of the crime, near a quiet village in Kent.

With painful honesty, he shows how no community of class, race, faith or queerness is immune from suspicion and occasional hatred of otherness, nor mercifully from love, laughter and acceptance.”
