“hings as they are and as they have been, in the arts as in a hundred other areas, are stultifying, oppressive and discouraging to all those, women among them, who did not have the good fortune to be born white, preferably middle class and, above all, male,” Nochlin wrote in her essay. Nochlin is best known for her pioneering 1971 essay “ Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?”, in which she argued that societal forces-and not a lack of “genius” or inherent talent-had for centuries kept women artists from attaining the same professional success and regard as their male counterparts. She was 86 years old, according to Andrew Russeth of ARTnews. Linda Nochlin, an esteemed art historian who sparked a new era of feminist criticism within her field, has died.

Had another character narrated the story it likely would have been more depressing, but I don't think it would have been nearly as impactful. The passages where she explains how she can't see herself in stories, where the characters are always described as "pale" and "fair", broke my heart.ĭespite the constant struggles, heartache and pain Deza and her family experience throughout the novel, Deza's voice is bright, hopeful and inspiring.

One learns not only what was happening on all fronts but also how the author discovered it during his years of exhaustive research.

All the great battles are here, of course, from Bull Run through Shiloh, the Seven Days Battles, and Antietam, but so are the smaller ones: Ball’s Bluff, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, Island Ten, New Orleans, and Monitor versus Merrimac. 1 begins one of the most remarkable works of history ever fashioned.

As defacto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings.

Add to that a well-played game of cat and mouse with powerful business players trying to one-up each other, well, I was immediately hooked and ended up devouring this novella in one fun sitting. Bad enough that I didn’t mind how much it was going to cost me… My Review “There was a man in my life who underestimated me once. In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel the mystery of Jax. He was a hard and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth. Had I really thought they were soft and warm?

The realization that Jax still affected me so strongly was a jagged pill to swallow. #1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Day, America’s premier author of provocative fiction, delivers the debut novel from CosmoRed-Hot Reads from Harlequin.
