Book excerpt: The reason behind choosing this title of an UN suitable girl is to explore the gender inequality which is still prevailing in the society. Why is it that women can't over power a man?why a female can't be the dominant fighter?are the unsolved questions.The stigma that 'the women who has attained the higher post or position still lacks the strength' will take time for its removal from the hearts of the so called stronger male. Its high time to bring changes in our outlook of praising women for her accomplishments and not the post or position.Every women is suitable for the task meant for her. Never under estimate her strength. A loud voice of a man may threaten a woman but the silence of a woman can shake the consciousness of a man. This book is a collection of stories poem and articles.Girl power is a slogan that encourages and celebrates women's empowerment, independence, confidence and strength girls strength helps visitors realize their value, love others, achieve their dreams, defy stereotypes, and work together to change the world. Through girl power, girls—and the adults they grow into— reimagine girlhood and define their own identity as individuals and a united group. Women who openly display their power, knowledge, and skill, receiving public recognition and honor. But also females who manage to wield power in societies that try to limit it or decree female submission; where their leadership is stigmatized and their creativity disdained. And women who resist and overthrow oppressive traditions and regimes. Who break the rules in defiance of unjust legal and religious "authorities." Who pursue their vision in spite of the personal cost. The idea for the story originated from my own experiences and observations while working in my day to day life.. This book will make the readers happy and encourage the women to empowerment

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molly Pohlig's The Unsuitable is a fierce blend of Gothic ghost story and Victorian novel of manners that’s also pitch perfect for our current cultural moment. Iseult Wince is a Victorian woman perilously close to spinsterhood whose distinctly unpleasant father is trying to marry her off. She is awkward, plain, and most pertinently, believes that her mother, who died in childbirth, lives in the scar on her neck. Iseult’s father parades a host of unsuitable candidates before her, the majority of whom Iseult wastes no time frightening away. When at last her father finds a suitor desperate enough to take Iseult off his hands—a man whose medical treatments have turned his skin silver—a true comedy of errors ensues. As history’s least conventional courtship progresses into talk of marriage, Iseult’s mother becomes increasingly volatile and uncontrollable, and Iseult is forced to resort to extreme, often violent, measures to keep her in check. As the day of the wedding nears, Iseult must decide whether (and how) to set the course of her life, with increasing interference from both her mother and father, tipping her ever closer to madness, and to an inevitable, devastating final act.

Book excerpt: "I bought this book for my granddaughter and she loved it! This a great period novel about the late 60s." -- Hubert C. Against the backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains, during the turmoil of the Vietnam War, two girls join up their senior year in high school, 1969. Sarah Hansson was tired of being lonely. She yearned for a close female friend. Though several of the boys were friendly towards her, it wasn't the same thing. And most of all, she was fed up with the other kids putting her down because she was against the Vietnam War. But in August, a Mohawk girl arrives from the Akwesasne Reservation in New York joining Canada, and Sarah sees her chance to make a new friend. Surprisingly, Becky Mullinex impresses several of the other students, and by the Christmas dance the class has become less divided. Becky has paired up with Mark, Sarah's fellow mischievous-maker, while Sarah herself had begun to tolerate some of the other girls. However, at the dance she gives in to her loneliness and makes a serious mistake that helps to land a fellow student in the hospital, threatening Sarah and a few others with expulsion. But with the help of her firm-footed mentors-Mrs. Revis, Mr. Kunz, Mr. Littlefield-and the passionate knowledge she has torn out of Conrad, Larsen and Austen, she surfs the tide.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction A 2016 Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Award Winner Winner of the 2016 National Jewish Book Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself—because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of—a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan’s journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity! Carpet sweepers! Sending out the laundry!), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gillion is from the American South, but she is definitely not a Southern belle. An art historian by trade, she takes a job in London to escape from the demands of her wealthy, conventional, socially superior family in Charleston, South Carolina. Once in London she meets Tilly, a features editor, and her long-term boyfriend and wildlife photographer Henry, who is finding it hard to commit. Before long, Gillion inadvertently offers Henry an escape: the chance to travel to South Carolina and photograph its wildlife. Upon arriving, Henry is wholly seduced by the charms of Charleston, by Gillon's family, and by the old patrician way of life which presents itself. Neither Gillion nor Henry bargains on what they find there, nor the effect his departure will have on Tilly and the world he left behind.
