The Women's Question. Historical Studies (set of 3 books)

The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve. A story about the fears, desires, and responsibilities of humanity. The account of Adam and Eve modestly takes up about fifty lines in Scripture, yet it harbors astounding paradoxes: a man and a woman, born as adults and feeling no shame in their nakedness, a talking serpent-temptor, a tree whose fruits grant the knowledge of good and evil. Doctor of Philosophy and Professor of Humanities Stephen Greenblatt tells a story filled with unimaginable scenes and events that have troubled philosophers and thinkers for centuries – it has been analyzed, discussed, and interpreted – literally and allegorically. The Dark Side of the Sexual Revolution. Reevaluating the Era of Erotic Freedom. The detrimental consequences of the sexual revolution for women in the 20th century and the digital age of the 21st century have grown to colossal proportions. In this provocative study, Louise Perry uncovers the dark aspects of the sexual revolution, which she believes has brought liberation more to men than to women. She is not swayed by the trendy buzzwords of liberal feminism – "freedom" and "equality." Perry advocates for a new perspective, for it is time to bring the true interests, desires, and happiness of women into focus. Very Important People. Status and Beauty in the World of Elite Parties. Birthday parties costing millions of dollars, yachts on the French Riviera, and bottles of champagne for $40,000. In today’s new gilded age, ostentatious consumption has been pushed to new extremes. To make sense of this phenomenon, sociologist and former model Ashley Mears deeply immerses herself in the closed universe of hyper-consumption to show how beautiful, ambitious, and young women enter this world of luxury only to become yet another decoration among ultra-rich men. "Very Important People" is a story about extreme gender inequality in the world of seduction.
