Announcements From The DWPC Community New DWPC member Mimi Pockross is featured in this spring's edition of Colorado Heritage, the magazine of History Colorado, with her article, How Two Colorado Women Brought a Play About an Invisible Rabbit to Broadway and Won a Pulitzer Prize. The article highlights the relationship between Mary Coyle Chase, the playwright who wrote Harvey, and Antoinette Perry, best known as the namesake for the Tony award and the original director of Harvey. Mary Chase was a lifetime honorary member of the Denver Women’s Press Club. Her biography, Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat: The Amazing Story of Mary Coyle Chase, written by Mimi, will be published in the fall of this year. Four months before the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941, Mildred McClellan Melville, a past DWPC president, predicted the war would come to the United States. And come it did. In Colorado Women in World War II, DWPC member Gail Beaton interweaves oral histories and historical photographs to give a rare look at how the war profoundly transformed the women of this state and how these women stepped up and served their country, from ammunition plants to hospitals to sugar beet fields. You can preorder now at www.upcolorado.com. Use promo code BEAT20 to get 40% off. The book will ship in August. DWPC members Bonnie McCune and Kathleen Duhamel have teamed up to create a monthly book review column for My Prime Time News, metro Denver's source for news and information aimed at seniors. “Reader’s Corner” features short, insightful reviews of books popular with mature adults. Reader comments and book recommendations are welcomed at https://www.myprimetimenews.com/readers-corner/#respond. For more information on the authors latest books, go to https://bonniemccune.com/ or https://www.kathleenduhamel.com/ Dottie Lamm, DWPC member and former first lady of Colorado, shares insight on family, friends, feminism, politics and the fine art of growing older in her latest book, Straight from the Heart. Sifting through 25 years of her newspaper columns, Dottie chose essays that pull at heartstrings and elicit deeply personal responses from her audiences while tackling tough issues and tender realities. The book is full of candor, compassion and her own brand of self-effacing humor. Straight from the Heart, edited by our own Joan Sherman, can be found on Amazon.

  • Faludi,+Susan+Backlash,+O+Contra
    Susan Faludi Tradução de MARIO FONDELLI década de 1980 deflagrou um implacá­ A vel contra-ataque às conquistas femini­ nas, que opera em dois níveis: convencer as mulheres de que seus sentimentos de angústia e insatisfação são resultado do excesso de in­ dependência, ao mesmo tempo que destrói gradativamente os mínimos avanços que as mulheres realizaram no trabalho, na política e em sua forma de pensar. Susan Faludi, prêmio Pulitzer de jornalis­ mo, nos mostra como a imprensa se ocupou em repercutir essas mensagens ao dar um cunho moralista às notícias e reportagens, e manipular estatísticas. Ela revela, também, como essa insidiosa guerra contra os direitos da mulher transformou-se em um fenômeno cultural que orientou e invadiu o cinema e a TV, as indústrias da moda e da beleza, a re­ tórica da Nova Direita, os discursos presiden­ ciais e a política antiaborto. Ao promover a idealização da mulher tra­ dicional, da mulher lipoescultural, cujo trono cativo ainda é o lar, os defensores do antife- minismo buscam fomentar a baixa auto-esti- ma da mulher, enfraquecendo com isso a sua luta pela igualdade de direitos. Com este livro, Susan Faludi procura desa­ fiar a tese central do contra-ataque: a de que o feminismo é o pior inimigo da mulher, e de que todas as conquistas alcançadas na verda­ de a prejudicam em vez de fortalecer. Ao fa­ zê-lo, Backlash nos oferece um oportuno e preocupante retrato da condição da mulher nos tempos atuais. A AUTORA SUSAN FALUDI é jornalista, tendo colabora­ do em publicações como o Wall Street Jour­ nal, San Jose Mercury News, West, Ms.
