Our princesses have been mothers willing to risk anything for their children, wives who followed their husbands to the very ends of earth, and spinsters who demanded their intellectual and societal freedom.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman is known for her themes of female entrapment and patriarchal control, and she gives this a Gothic twist in "The Giant Wistaria".

When we step into curiosity, we find we have a choice to see the world through other people’s eyes. To imagine what their experiences are, even though we cannot know them directly. From here, we can begin to understand and utilize our agency. The power we hold over interpreting our day-to-day experiences and the stories we end up telling ourselves about them, i.e., "our truths." Too often, this leads to selling ourselves short, or worse, selling ourselves out, resulting in death by a thousand papercuts.

In this book Brenda Salter McNeil and Rick Richardson provide a model of racial reconciliation, social justice, and spiritual healing that creates both individual and communal transformation.

Depression, schizophrenia, breakdown, psychosis are alarming events to have or to witness.
