DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen the author created this fantasy world, he had no idea that fairy magic could make it real... or that he'd no longer be in control. Author Lewis Liddell had run into problems with his Demonrayne fantasy series with each new volume selling worse than its predecessor. His editor was on his case to rewrite volume four when, in a redux of what had triggered him to write that original series, he had another dream, this time about a fantasy world that was radically different from anything other authors were doing. His editor was negative on starting something new before he'd finished volume four, but he felt a powerful muse to continue down this path. The last thing he expected was for a fairy named Fae Rae to disappear from his story and appear in his study right as he was concluding a chapter. And for her to take charge. He'd never confused his fictional life with the real one. Now they were both the same. Set in the same universe as Fairy Tale, Bad Fairy, Spelter Skelter, Powers That Be, and She-Male, this story continues to build worlds of magical wonder.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"For Miranda, it all started as an eight-year old girl, struggling to come to terms with the trauma of discovering that her beloved 'mummy and daddy' were in fact her grandparents and her real mother was the woman she had always known as her elder sister. Miranda would go on to develop into a teenage 'wild-child', experimenting with sexual tastes that, from the start, involved her domination over her boyfriend. The bright but wilful teenager ended up leaving her grandparents home at just 16. Miranda was homeless, penniless and alone. A stint as a receptionist in a 'working-girls' flat yielded enough cash to begin scraping together her education, but Miranda soon realised that her own sexual tastes were well-suited to satisfy the vast demand of submissive men seeking out a dominant woman. In Fifty shades of domination, Miranda candidly and humorously relates tales from twenty years worth of men, women and couples who have visited her dungeon chambers for fetish fun. At turns erotic, funny and searingly honest, this is not a book about sex for money; this is the story of a life in fetish fashion, deep psychological role-playing and the repressed passions that lie just beneath the surface of us all." --Publisher description.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith the chick flick arguably in decline, film scholars may well ask: what has become of the woman’s film? Little attention has been paid to the proliferation of films, often from the independent sector, that do not sit comfortably in either the category of popular culture or that of high art––films that are perhaps the corollary of the middle-brow novel, or "smart-chick flicks". This book seeks to fill this void by focusing on the steady stream of films about and for women that emerge out of independent American and European cinema, and that are designed to address an international female audience. The new woman's film as a genre includes narratives with strong ties to the woman’s film of classical Hollywood while constituting a new distinctive cycle of female-centered films that in many ways continue the project of second-wave feminism, albeit in a modified form. Topics addressed include: The Bridges of Madison County (Clint Eastwood, 1995); the feature-length films of Nicole Holofcener, 1996-2013; the film roles of Tilda Swinton; Rachel Getting Married (Jonathan Demme, 2008); Blue Jasmine (Woody Allen, 2013); Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach, 2012), Belle (Amma Asante, 2013), Fifty Shades of Grey (Sam Taylor-Johnson, 2015) and Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake (Sundance Channel, 2013-).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKContemporary popular culture has created a slew of stereotypical roles for girls and women to (willingly or not) play throughout their lives: The Princess, the Nymphette, the Diva, the Single Girl, the Bridezilla, the Tiger Mother, the M.I.L.F, the Cougar, and more. In this book Ames and Burcon investigate the role of cultural texts in gender socialization at specific pre-scripted stages of a woman's life (from girls to the "golden girls") and how that instruction compounds over time. By studying various texts (toys, magazines, blogs, tweets, television shows, Hollywood films, novels, and self-help books) they argue that popular culture exists as a type of funhouse mirror constantly distorting the real world conditions that exist for women, magnifying the gendered expectations they face. Despite the many problematic, conflicting messages women receive throughout their lives, this book also showcases the ways such messages are resisted, allowing women to move past the blurry reality they broadcast and toward, hopefully, gender equality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor the first time in history, women make up half the educated labor force and are earning the majority of advanced degrees. It should be the best time ever for women, and yet... it’s not. Storm clouds are gathering, and the worst thing is that most women don’t have a clue what could be coming. In large part this is because the message they’re being fed is that they now have it made. But do they? In The New Soft War on Women, respected experts on gender issues and the psychology of women Caryl Rivers and Rosalind C. Barnett argue that an insidious war of subtle biases and barriers is being waged that continues to marginalize women. Although women have made huge strides in recent years, these gains have not translated into money and influence. Consider the following: - Women with MBAs earn, on average, $4,600 less than their male counterparts in their first job out of business school. - Female physicians earn, on average, 39 percent less than male physicians. - Female financial analysts take in 35 percent less, and female chief executives one quarter less than men in similar positions. In this eye-opening book, Rivers and Barnett offer women the real facts as well as tools for combating the “soft war” tactics that prevent them from advancing in their careers. With women now central to the economy, determining to a large degree whether it thrives or stagnates, this is one war no one can afford for them to lose.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2016, Netflix--with an already enormous footprint in the United States--expanded its online streaming video service to 130 new countries, adding more than 12 million subscribers in nine months and bringing its total to 87 million. The effectiveness of Netflix's content management lies in its ability to appeal to a vastly disparate global viewership without a unified cache of content. Instead, the company invests in buying or developing myriad programming and uses sophisticated algorithms to "narrowcast" to micro-targeted audience groups. In this collection of new essays, contributors explore how Netflix has become a cultural institution and transformed the way we consume popular media.
