We Should All Be Feminists is a MUST for everyone who wishes to be a feminist out there. One of the best books I have read in a while and I feel disappointed in myself that it’s taken me so long to come around to reading this. It’s short and sweet, straight to the point and thought-provoking. Even worse: I did not know that what I heard in Flawless by Beyoncé (do I have to even specify that?!) were in fact excerpts from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s best-selling book.

This crew, furthermore, is already disrespecting the remnants of the Martians and planning to build new structures. Spender's message is especially moving considering the circumstances: the expedition has just landed on Mars to find out that the Martians have all died of chicken pox, the result of the first arrival of mankind on the planet.

Mankind is inherently greedy and selfish, and men have little respect for tradition or magnificence when material gain could be had at its expense. ![]() One of the major themes of the Martian Chronicles, and perhaps one of its overarching messages, is the tendency of mankind to sacrilegiously abuse and exploit wonderful things.

He spoke the Italian of his archduchess mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule, and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself. He could handle a saber, a pistol, a rudder, or a golf club he handled women by necessity and men for pleasure. Wilhelm Von Habsburg wore the uniform of the Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and, every so often, a dress. ![]() ![]() NB All our estimates are based on business days and assume that shipping and delivery don't occur on holidays and weekends.
