One question. What is a woman for? In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo. In a small Oregon fishing town, five very different women navigate these new barriers alongside age-old questions surrounding motherhood, identity, and freedom. Ro, a single high-school teacher, is trying to have a baby on her own, while also writing a biography of Eivør, a little-known 19th-century female polar explorer. Susan is a frustrated mother of two, trapped in a crumbling marriage. Mattie is the adopted daughter of doting parents and one of Ro's best students, who finds herself pregnant with nowhere to turn. And Gin is the gifted, forest-dwelling herbalist, or "mender," who brings all their fates together when she's arrested and put on trial in a frenzied modern-day witch hunt. RED CLOCKS is at once a riveting drama, whose mysteries unfold with magnetic energy, and a shattering novel of ideas. In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Eileen Myles, Leni Zumas fearlessly explores the contours of female experience, evoking THE HANDMAID'S TALE for a new millennium. This is a story of resilience, transformation, and hope in tumultuous-even frightening-times.

My Life, Roe vs. Wade, and Freedom of Choice

"Norma McCorvey was a pregnant unwed mother of two when she took her fight for a legal abortion to the Supreme Court. Norma wasn't anyone's idea of a role model in 1973, a gritty, working-poor woman from Louisiana who couldn't face the psychological pain of carrying an unplanned pregnancy to term, only to give up the child for adoption. She initially sought a back-alley abortion but, terrified by what she found, she fled. Shortly afterward, she was introduced to a team of public-spirited attorneys and gained a new identity: Jane Roe, the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, the court case that guaranteed freedom of choice for all American women." "Ironically, the Supreme Court decision came too late to help Norma. Frightened and alone, she eventually gave birth to the child she never wanted to have and surrendered the infant for adoption. After giving birth, she suffered a profound depression - compounded by her abandonment by the Roe lawyers: Norma learned of the high court decision one day while reading a newspaper. After a suicide attempt, she spent many years as a recluse, drifting from city to city and job to job." "In 1989, shortly after revealing her identity to a reporter, Norma's house was the target of a drive-by shooting. To her credit, instead of hiding, she chose to speak out, with the 1989 March on Washington beginning her emergence as a public figure." "Norma McCorvey's story is that of a woman both ordinary and extraordinary, whose private anguish blossomed into a public triumph for all American women in the battle for reproductive freedom."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom

DAVID KUPELIAN'S CULTURE-WAR BESTSELLER IS NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK! 

Millions of Americans today accept ideas and behaviors that would have horrified all previous generations. Why?

Why have thousands of years of Judeo-Christian moral standards suddenly been abandoned? What's behind today's divorce epidemic? Why is public prayer being criminalized? Why are 3,000 innocent unborn children aborted daily? In this widely acclaimed exposé, veteran journalist David Kupelian reveals the brilliant marketing strategies that have turned America upside down.

"Within the space of our lifetime, much of what Americans once almost universally abhorred has been packaged, perfumed, gift-wrapped, and sold to us as though it had great value. By skillfully playing on our deeply felt national values of fairness, generosity, and tolerance, these marketers have persuaded us to embrace as enlightened and noble that which every other generation has regarded as grossly self-destructive--in a word, evil."

How Twelve Political Philosophies Shape American Debates

Why Americans do not divide neatly into red and blue or right and left but form coalitions across party lines on hot-button issues ranging from immigration to same-sex marriage.

On any given night cable TV news will tell us how polarized American politics is: Republicans are from Mars, Democrats are from Canada. But in fact, writes Peter Wenz in Beyond Red and Blue, Americans do not divide neatly into two ideological camps of red/blue, Republican/Democrat, right/left. In real life, as Wenz shows, different ideologies can converge on certain issues; people from the right and left can support the same policy for different reasons. Thus, for example, libertarian-leaning Republicans can oppose the Patriot Act's encroachment on personal freedom and social conservatives can support gay marriage on the grounds that it strengthens the institution of marriage.

Wenz maps out twelve political philosophies--ranging from theocracy and free-market conservatism to feminism and cosmopolitanism--on which Americans draw when taking political positions. He then turns his focus to some of America's most controversial issues and shows how ideologically diverse coalitions can emerge on such hot-button topics as extending life by artificial means, the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, affirmative action, abortion, same-sex marriage, health care, immigration, and globalization.

Awareness of these twelve political philosophies, Wenz argues, can help activists enlist allies, citizens better understand politics and elections, and all of us define our own political identities.

A Life Spent Protecting the Right to Choose

From "one of the most powerful women in Washington" (Washingtonian) and a "legend and leader," (Vanity Fair) comes a book that concerns the future of our country, our society, and our world. Catalyzed by the trauma of a pre-Roe v. Wade abortion, which required the consent of the husband who deserted her and a hospital panel made up entirely of men, Kate Michelman devoted her life to protecting the rights of women and children. Serving from 1985 until 2004 as the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, she succeeded in moving the question "Who Decides?" to the mainstream, transforming the political debate, and defining a woman's freedom to choose as a fundamental American liberty. Today, the appointment of a single anti-choice judge to the Supreme Court threatens to eviscerate Roe's protections, forcing women to live at the whim of politicians and further limiting their reproductive rights. With Liberty and Justice for Allis an urgent wake-up call to American women to defend their freedom in its hour of greatest danger written by one of the most respected and inspiring leaders of our times. Important and intensely personal, it is not just a book about abortion, but a book about freedom, about bringing children into the world under the best possible circumstances, and about a woman's right to assume her equal place in American society.

From Goodreads: “Hannah is a Red; her crime is murder. “ She has been caught after aborting her own child. She will not name the father, which causes her to suffer even more. “ “When She Woke is a fable about a stigmatized woman struggling to navigate an America of a not-to-distant future, who embarks on a path of self-discovery that forces her to question the values she once held true and the righteousness of a country that politicizes faith…. the line between church and state has been eradicated and convicted felons are no longer imprisoned and rehabilitated but chromed- their skin color is genetically altered to match the class of their crime- and then released back into the population to survive as best they can.” #dystopia #dystopian #futureAmerica #abortion #crimeandpunishment #moderndayTheScarletLetter

Slight tear in dust jacket 

Elisabeth Hyde has taken a powerful moral predicament and constructed around it a richly layered, compulsively readable novel about a murder in a small Colorado town, about the choices we make and the way their unintended consequences ripple through our lives. Two weeks before Christmas, Diana Duprey, an outspoken abortion doctor, is found floating in her pool, a bruise the size of a golf ball visible through her dark curls. A national figure, Diana inspired passion and ignited tempers, never more so than on the day of her death. Her husband, Frank, an attorney in the D.A.' s office for more than twenty years, had fought bitterly with her on the day of her murder. Yet to reveal the nature of their fight would cost him not only his career but something greater still-- a relationship he will go to any lengths to protect. Diana' s daughter, Megan, a college freshman, had also quarreled with Diana that day, and her role in her mother' s murder will prove more significant than she ever could have anticipated. The Reverend Stephen O' Connell, founder of the town' s pro-life coalition, obviously had issues with Diana, but his anger extended beyond the political to the personal-- namely, Dr. Duprey' s involvement with his own troubled teenager. Meanwhile, the detective on the case grapples to make sense of it all. His investigation implicates many in this town and reveals a series of gross miscalculations, each one challenging what we know, or think we know, about community, fidelity, justice, and love. A riveting and provocative page-turner: a novel of stunning economy and momentum by a writer poised for wide discovery.
