It's time to create a future where feminine power and leadership is celebrated. It's time for a radical awakening and a revolution. It's time for women to rise. In Women Rising, you'll discover how to recognise and resist the very real forces of power that limit how you work and live as a woman. Are you tired of being asked to ‘lean in,' fit in, perform and conform? The truth is that women today continue to be constrained by pervasive ideas about how we ‘should' act and behave. To break free, we need to understand the forces that limit our potential.

America stands at a crossroads, darker and more dangerous than many realize. On The Rising, we ask: What will it really take to defeat American fascism? How can we rise to the heights our parents and grandparents did when they faced the darkness of the Depression and World War II? We must find that same strength in ourselves, and each other, but it will take real courage, brutal honesty, and a level of coordinated action many of us have never attempted. This is not just a podcast, it’s a call to clarity, conviction, and the fight of our lives. A rising is coming.

Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past 30 years.

When Iranians overthrew their monarchy, rejecting a pro-Western shah in favor of an Islamic regime, many observers predicted that revolutionary turmoil would paralyze the country for decades to come.

In the summer of 2022, Lee Berger lost 50 pounds in order to wriggle though impossibly small openings in the Rising Star cave complex in South Africa—spaces where his team has been unearthing the remains of Homo naledi, a proto-human likely to have coexisted with Homo sapiens some 250,000 years ago. Lead researcher Berger had never made his way into the dark, cramped, dangerous underground spaces where many of the naledi fossils had been found. Now he was ready to do so.
