Book Synopsis Confessions of a Golf Slut by : Susan Fornoff
Download or read book Confessions of a Golf Slut written by Susan Fornoff and published by Gottagogolf. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 35-year-old career bachelorette decided her dating style needed an overhaul, so she took up golf to meet men on manicured greens instead of in smoky bars. Of course she met men. But she also made friends. And found a new vocation that took her to the most beautiful resorts and most famous courses in the world. None of it had anything to do with being good at the game. "Golf slut," was what she called herself -- based on the description comedian Tommy Smothers used lovingly in describing his wife: "will play anywhere, anytime, with anyone." But as moment after moment unfolded with gifts, lessons and surprises, she came to realize her relationship with the game transcended labels. In her memoir "Confessions of a Golf Slut: A memoir of life, love, and The Game," trailblazing sports journalist Susan Fornoff tells the story of how golf became her warm blanket through the heartbreaking loss of divorce and death, her compass for a hilarious journey through online dating, her guiding light in the murky tunnel of midlife career change. "Confessions of a Golf Slut" is you'll-laugh-you'll-cry chick lit -- spun with driver, hybrid, wedge and putter. A poignant and often funny golf sister to the likes of "Julie and Julia" and "Eat, Pray, Love," "Confessions of a Golf Slut" relates the metaphors of the beloved, centuries-old game in context with human foibles and frailties. Within the narrative framework of the search for love, it addresses universal themes such as self-examination, perseverance, friendship and, ultimately, forgiveness. Chick lit, yes - and, for men, a peek into the other team's playbook. It's not a spoiler to reveal that the author never masters the game of golf. But her passion for the game will no doubt resonate among the women who already play -- an estimated 5 million in the United States alone, with another 38 million women reported to have interest -- and inspire those who don't yet play to pick up a 7-iron and give it a big kiss.
Book Synopsis I Am Not a Slut by : Leora Tanenbaum
Download or read book I Am Not a Slut written by Leora Tanenbaum and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the groundbreaking work Slut! explores the phenomenon of slut-shaming in the age of sexting, tweeting, and “liking.” She shows that the sexual double standard is more dangerous than ever before and offers wisdom and strategies for alleviating its destructive effects on young women’s lives. Young women are encouraged to express themselves sexually. Yet when they do, they are derided as “sluts.” Caught in a double bind of mixed sexual messages, young women are confused. To fulfill the contradictory roles of being sexy but not slutty, they create an “experienced” identity on social media-even if they are not sexually active—while ironically referring to themselves and their friends as “sluts.” But this strategy can become a weapon used against young women in the hands of peers who circulate rumors and innuendo—elevating age-old slut-shaming to deadly levels, with suicide among bullied teenage girls becoming increasingly common. Now, Leora Tanenbaum revisits her influential work on sexual stereotyping to offer fresh insight into the digital and face-to-face worlds contemporary young women inhabit. She shares her new research, involving interviews with a wide range of teenage girls and young women from a variety of backgrounds as well as parents, educators, and academics. Tanenbaum analyzes the coping mechanisms young women currently use and points them in a new direction to eradicate slut-shaming for good.

Book Synopsis Alligator and Other Stories by : Dima Alzayat
Download or read book Alligator and Other Stories written by Dima Alzayat and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2021 Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize Shortlisted for a 2021 James Tait Black Award Shortlisted for the PEN/Robert W Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection 2021 'Sardonic, monstrous, tender' Sunday Times 'Startling . . . profound' Daily Mail In Alligator and Other Stories, Dima Alzayat captures luminously how it feels to be ‘other’: as a Syrian, as an Arab, as an immigrant, as a woman. Each one of the nine stories collected here is a snapshot of those moments when unusual circumstances suddenly distinguish us from our neighbours, when our difference is thrown into relief. Here are ‘dangerous’ women transgressing, missing children in 1970s New York, a family who were once Syrian but have now lost their name, and a young woman about to discover the hollowness of the American dream. At its centre lies ‘Alligator’: a remarkable compilation of real and invented sources, which rescues from history the story of a Syrian American couple who were murdered at the hands of the state. Alzayat explores experiences that are startling and real, delivering an emotional punch that lingers long after reading.
