The voices that we rather prefer to avoid than be bothered about, and the reasons can be varied for each of us. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, we are all victims of gender equality and caste discrimination, even after being born equal. But important is, that we shall never stop talking and telling and writing about what it must come to light. 'Unabashed Voices' is an amalgamation of 31 wonderful writers from across the country. Who has poured out their best contemplative thoughts on the subject, through their poetry and short stories? India, as a country, has a quite diverse culture and yet we find common ground on certain things, which connect all of us together. This Anthology is a small but initial step toward a better world. With the hope to reach a greater amount of readers and inspire them as well. I am deeply grateful to all the co-authors for joining me and making this Anthology possible, we all together gave this book a shape.

Download and read online ebook Untamed and Unabashed write by Regina Barreca. This book was released on 1994. Untamed and Unabashed available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In Untamed and Unabashed, Regina Barreca, noted authority on women and humor, examines the use of humor in the works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark, and Fay Weldon. She analyzes the ways that each writer uses comedic devices, especially those involving language itself, and discusses the gendered basis of their humor, providing a provocative feminist perspective on gender and comedy. Each of the essays argues that conservative critics have misread and misunderstood the importance of humor in the works of these women authors, and that women's humor serves to explode conventions oppressive to women and to offer women readers a critique of, and an alternative perspective on, the dominant cultural ideologies that contain and oppress them. The book concludes that these authors strategically deployed humor, coded in forms that women readers-but not men readers-would recognize and understand, as a means of educating and empowering those women readers. Barreca asserts that much of women's comic play has to do with power and its systematic misappropriation, allowing women to gain perspective by ridiculing the implicit insanities of a patriarchal culture. Using detailed persuasive new readings of various works of each of her chosen authors, she shows how the straightjacket of conventional femininity is challenged, confronted, and finally, thrown off. This volume demonstrates that comedy can effectively channel anger and rebellion by first making them appear to be acceptable and temporary phenomena, and then by harnessing the released energies, rather than dispersing them. This kind of comedy, which is at the heart of Untamed and Unabashed, terrifies those who hold order dear. It should.

Download and read online ebook Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers & Unabashed Grafters write by Bob Edwards. This book was released on 2004. Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers & Unabashed Grafters available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Bob Edwards, the Great White North's equivalent to H. L. Mencken, remains a singular figure in Canadian journalism. His newspapers, published in Wetaskiwin, Leduc, High River, Strathcona, Winnipeg, Port Arthur, and most famously Calgary, skewered politics, society, and business leaders with a fearlessness and outrageousness rarely seen then, now, or in between. As editor James Martin points out in his illuminating introduction, Bob Edwards seems more modern the farther back in history he recedes; he was the granddaddy of Gonzo Journalism à la Hunter S. Thompson, a freewheeling cultural critic in the spirit of Lester Bangs, a pioneer of satirical reform as evidenced in Frank magazine, and a spoofer of the po-faced reporting of his day in precisely the same way that The Onion is now. Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers and Unabashed Grafters features mountains of Edwards's superb aphorisms, a generous helping of his longer and lesser-known works, and some choice items which have never before seen print, as well as miraculous archival discoveries and many cartoons from Edwards's celebrated Eye Opener. It is a welcome addition to the Bob Edwards canon for those who thought they knew everything about him, and an eye-opening introduction to the uninitiated: "He was writing this stuff a hundred years ago!"
