Many revealed a depressing picture of what happened if you were different, clever or outspoken. These included Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), The Getting of Wisdom (1977), Seven Little Australians (1973) and My Brilliant Career (1979). Yet what Australian girls could and couldn’t do was being explored through a glut of screen adaptations of classic novels. My sister and I spent an entire summer pigging out on Choc Wedges and Barney Bananas so we could collect the men’s cricket team on specially marked sticks. Growing up in Australia in the 1970s, I much preferred the hijinks of Han Solo and Chewie to Princess Leia’s sexualised damsel in distress. ![]()

She has covered landmark cases at the Supreme Court and heated political campaigns and policy battles from the White House to Capitol Hill. Every other lesson features an extra bonus section: In The Mothers & Daughters Of The Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how Gods plans can turn our worlds upside down. SHANNON BREAM is the author of the 1 New York Times bestseller The Women of the Bible Speak, the anchor of Fox News Night, and the chief legal correspondent for Fox News Channel.

There’s a kind of nerd determinism that denies politics (“Our superior technology makes your inferior laws irrelevant”). I never thought that computers on their own could solve our political problems - but I always thought that computers would play an important role in social and political struggles. But in 1977, when I was six, we got our first computer (a teletype terminal and acoustic coupler that let me connect to a DEC minicomputer at the university my dad was studying at). I started in politics - my parents are activists who started taking me to protests when I was in a stroller. How did you learn this lesson? How did it change your worldview? What does it mean for someone who wants to contribute to building a better future? ![]() In an interview in the LA Review of Books, Technology and Politics Are Inseparable: An Interview with Cory Doctorow, Eliot Peper digs into the backstory and ethos of the Little Brother books in general and Attack Surface in particular:Īttack Surface explores how technology is not the solution to social problems, but a morally neutral accelerant to political action, and that ultimately only politics can solve social problems. ![]() Janu/ Cory Doctorow / Attack Surface, Little Brother Talking Attack Surface in the LA Review of Books ![]() ![]() ![]() In this remarkable new biography, Lesley Hazleton shows exactly how the proud and courageous queen of Israel was vilified and made into the very embodiment of wanton wickedness by her political and religious enemies. But what if this version of her story, handed down to us through the ages, is merely the one her enemies wanted us to believe? What if Jezebel, far from being a conniving harlot, was, in fact, framed? Her name alone speaks of sexual decadence and promiscuity. There is no woman with a worse reputation than Jezebel, the ancient queen who corrupted a nation and met one of the most gruesome fates in the Bible. ![]() |
