Who was the real Diana? What was it like to be so privileged yet so anguished, so beloved yet so self-loathing, so spoiled yet so despairing?

This misfortune touches even the most well-known royal woman of the time, Joan of England, the wife of Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd. This first-ever account of Siwan, as she was known to the Welsh, interweaves the details of her life and relationships with a gendered re-assessment of Anglo-Welsh politics by highlighting her involvement in affairs, discussing events in which she may well have been involved but have gone unrecorded and her deployment of royal female agency.

Considerada como la princesa contemporánea más recordada de la monarquía inglesa, la historia de Diana de Gales tratará sobre un personaje muy diferente al prototipo real. Casada con el príncipe Carlos, hijo de la reina Isabel II, la princesa Diana vivió una corta pero placentera vida siendo parte de la monarquía inglesa. Madre de los herederos actuales al trono, la vida de la princesa Diana se caracterizó por su frecuente trabajo social y humanitario hasta su misteriosa muerte bajo una oscura noche parisina.

Lady Logic in a World of Loud Men is a sharp, funny, and painfully relatable dispatch from the front lines of common sense. Each episode cuts through ego fueled noise with wit, clarity, and a touch of eye rolling elegance as Sable calmly explains the obvious while the men around her confidently explain the wrong thing at full volume. This is logic wearing lipstick, intelligence with a grin, and reality served with playful precision.

J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - and coordinated its daily life - at the request of the president and his family.
