Linda first shared her biography the year her granddaughter was born. This new life made her reflect about the battles she had fought and the weapons she had used. Were they the proper ones? A result of culture? Was anyone hurt? While pondering, she also wanted to inspire other women sharing her adventures. A simple shack in the outback of Brazil was her birthplace. Linda grew up as a happy and hyperactive child and started working when she was seven years old to help the family’s survival. However, with ten children who survived, the family was forced to give some of the girls away to other homes as young maids. Linda was sent to a city when she was 13, spending her adolescence submitted to juvenile work exploitation and punishments that could have ruined her self-esteem if it were not for her resilience and dreams which she kept secret. Since then, she used her weapons to win the battles she had to face with the power of her feminine energy. Her adventures included a dangerous immigration to Australia and the pursuit of a challenging career in which she succeeds, becomes the famous “Brazilian Bombshell”, helps her family financially and can find the love of her life with a beautiful family. Linda compartilhou pela primeira vez sua biografia no ano do nascimento da sua neta. Esta nova vida permitiu-lhe refletir sobre as batalhas que lutou e as armas que empregou. Elas foram adequadas? Resultaram da cultura? Alguém foi ferido? Enquanto ponderava ela também desejava inspirar outras mulheres compartilhando suas aventuras. Um simples barraco no nordeste árido do Brasil foi seu local de nascimento. Linda cresceu como uma criança feliz e hiperativa e começou a trabalhar aos sete anos de idade para ajudar a sobrevivência dos familiares. No entanto, com dez filhos que sobreviveram, a família foi forçada a ceder algumas filhas como pequenas criadas. Linda foi enviada para uma cidade quando tinha 13 anos vivendo uma adolescência submetida a exploração do trabalho juvenil e castigos que poderiam ter arruinado sua autoestima se não fosse pela sua resiliência e sonhos que ela guardava em segredo. Desde então ela usou suas armas para ganhar batalhas que ela teve que enfrentar com o poder da sua energia feminina. Suas aventuras incluem uma imigração arriscada para a Australia e a adoção de uma carreira desafiadora na qual ela é bem-sucedida, torna-se a famosa “Granada Brasileira”, ajuda financeiramente toda sua família e encontra o amor da sua vida com uma bela família.

How ordinary Americans, frustrated by the legal and political wrangling over the Second Amendment, can fight for reforms that will both respect gun owners’ rights and reduce gun violence. Efforts to reduce gun violence in the United States face formidable political and constitutional barriers. Legislation that would ban or broadly restrict firearms runs afoul of the Supreme Court’s current interpretation of the Second Amendment. And gun rights advocates have joined a politically savvy firearms industry in a powerful coalition that stymies reform. Ian Ayres and Fredrick Vars suggest a new way forward. We can decrease the number of gun deaths, they argue, by empowering individual citizens to choose common-sense gun reforms for themselves. Rather than ask politicians to impose one-size-fits-all rules, we can harness a libertarian approach—one that respects and expands individual freedom and personal choice—to combat the scourge of gun violence. Ayres and Vars identify ten policies that can be immediately adopted at the state level to reduce the number of gun-related deaths without affecting the rights of gun owners. For example, Donna’s Law, a voluntary program whereby individuals can choose to restrict their ability to purchase or possess firearms, can significantly decrease suicide rates. Amending red flag statutes, which allow judges to restrict access to guns when an individual has shown evidence of dangerousness, can give police flexible and effective tools to keep people safe. Encouraging the use of unlawful possession petitions can help communities remove guns from more than a million Americans who are legally disqualified from owning them. By embracing these and other new forms of decentralized gun control, the United States can move past partisan gridlock and save lives now.

When the human and the vampire worlds collide, there will be hell to pay. Luca Ambrus is a rare breed: vampire from birth, begotten by vampire parents, blood born. He is also an agent of the Council—the centuries-old cabal that governs vampirekind, preserving their secrecy and destroying those who betray them. When a cryptic summons leads him to the scene of the brutal killing of a powerful Council member, Luca begins the hunt for an assassin among his own people. But instead of a lone killer he discovers a sinister conspiracy of rogue vampires bent on subjugating the mortal world. All that stands in their way are the conduits, humans able to channel spirit warriors into the physical world to protect mankind. Chloe Fallon is a conduit—and a target of the vampire assassin who’s killing them. When Luca saves her life, an irresistible bond of trust—along with more passionate feelings—is forged between them. As more victims fall, Chloe and Luca have only each other to depend on to save the world from the reign of monsters—and salvage their own future together.

In this groundbreaking work, which covers thousands of years and spans the globe, Linda Grant De Pauw depicts women as victims and as warriors; as nurses, spies, sex workers, and wives and mothers of soldiers; as warrior queens leading armies into battle; and as baggage carriers marching in the rear. Beginning with the earliest archaeological evidence of warfare and ending with the dozens of wars in progress today, Battle Cries and Lullabies demonstrates that warfare has always and everywhere involved women. Following an introductory chapter on the questions raised about women’s participation in warfare, the book presents a documented, chronological survey linked to familiar models of military history. De Pauw provides historical context for current public policy debates over the role of women in the military. "Whether one applauds or deplores their presence and their actions, women have always been part of war. To ignore this fact grossly distorts our understanding of human history."
