Writing articles for women’s magazines in the 1950s, Friedan had an opportunity to visit with many suburban housewives, and her talks with them revealed how these women, who were supposed to be living the American Woman’s Dream had, in fact, a problem - a big problem. This might seem like a convoluted and abstract idea but, in fact, Fridan breaks it down into an entire chapter in her book. The passage was one that appears in a lot of college materials on feminist theory: The Problem That Has No Name. ![]() I took several courses in feminist theory and feminist literature, and one of our textbooks gave a snippet from Friedan’s book. I was first exposed to Friedan and her ideas in graduate school. How that came to be, I go into in the Forward of that book. This month, I’ve been talking a lot about Betty Friedan and her book, The Feminine Mystique, because the ideas in that book were an inspiration for the stories in the new edition of my first book Gnarled Bones and Other Stories.

Battlepug: The Compugdium, out this week from Image Comics, collects the full webcomic that Norton published from 2011 to 2016, telling a story of revenge and found family dotted with giant, often adorable animals like the titular pugs.īattlepug revolves around The Warrior, a Conan the Barbarian-type figure and the surviving member of the Kinimundian Tribe, bent on getting revenge for the death of his people. But Norton’s rich sense of humor and affection for sword-and-sorcery stories turns what could have been a quick joke into an adventurous and emotional journey across an imaginative world. At first glance, it would be easy to confuse Mike Norton’s Battlepug for a one-note gag comic: the sight of a burly barbarian atop of a horse-sized pug enough to give anyone a good chuckle. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Lucy is Lost by Ed King![]() ![]() Offensive Starters Returning: 4 WR Isaac Jones, WR Gabe Cox, C Jim Niedrach, OG Chukky Okobi Offense: Scott Downing (Sterling College, 1979)-assistant head coach, running backs, special teams Jim Chaney (Central Missouri State, 1984)-co-offensive coordinator, offensive line, recruiting Danny Hope (Eastern Kentucky, 1981)-offensive line Greg Olson (Central Washington, 1986)-quarterbacks Kevin Sumlin (Purdue, 1987), receiversĭefense: Brock Spack (Purdue, 1984)-defensive coordinator, linebackers Tim Burke (Luther College, 1977)-defensive backs Randy Melvin (Eastern Illinois, 1982)-defensive ends Gary Emanuel (Plymouth State, 1982)-defensive tacklesġ997 Overall Record: 9-3, Alamo Bowl Champion, Ranked 15th in both polls 1997īig Ten Record (Place): 6-2 (Tie for Second) Head Coach: Joe Tiller (Montana State, 1965) O-(765) 494-3220 or 3224 Record at Purdue: 9-3 (One Year) Career Collegiate Record: 48-33-1 (Seven Years) ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Book after king of scars![]() ![]() In the rereads, though, I’ve been equally impressed by the humor. The main thing that stood out to me when I first read Shadow and Bone five years ago is the moral ambiguity, the unique cultural touchstones, and the rejection of the violent, manipulative love interest.
