Reading Wollstonecraft through the lens of the politics and culture of her own time, this book restores her to her rightful place as a major eighteenth-century thinker, reminding us why her work still resonates today. However, as Sylvana Tomaselli shows, a full understanding of Wollstonecraft’s thought is possible only through a more comprehensive appreciation of Wollstonecraft herself, as a philosopher and moralist who deftly tackled major social and political issues and the arguments of such figures as Edmund Burke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Adam Smith. ![]() Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, first published in 1792, is a work of enduring relevance in women’s rights advocacy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As the Chair of the Integrated Care System Health Inequalities Network, he is working across places to raise awareness and build the capacity and capability in the system to tackle health inequalities.Īde is Co-Chair for the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Staff Network of NHS England and NHS Improvement and was awarded an MBE for services to Global Health policy.

As the secrets of the house are revealed in a story filled with dark, sly humor, the elaborate ring of knives behind the hot seat where the suspects are questioned almost steals the show. In Knives Out, an affectionate homage to Agatha Christie, three different estates were used to portray the Thrombey mansion, including a Gothic Revival mansion for its exterior. ![]() The country house has long been a picture-perfect setting for mysteries where murder becomes an unwelcome guest. It’s all the more disturbing because the blood is such a blight on this serene setting. The violence shocks us-like seeing a drop of blood on a snow-white orchid. A paradise where friends, family, and guests gather for lazy summer afternoons sipping lemonade or dozing in the cooling shade of an elm tree. Against these backdrops, the human drama plays out in an endless cycle of compulsion and action, restraint, and violence as we are caught in the age-old struggle between love and hate and good and evil.īeautiful.
