A trans boy searches for a future―and a romance―in which he can live and love openly as himself in this heartrending young-adult reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, part of the Remixed Classics series. London, 1812 . Oliver Bennet feels trapped—not just by the endless corsets, petticoats, and skirts he's forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society's expectations. The world, and the vast majority of his family and friends, think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing a pretty dress, entertain suitors regardless of his interest in them, and ultimately become someone's wife. But Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It's during one such excursion when Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy, a sulky young man who had been rude to "Elizabeth" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart, not to mention attractive. As Oliver spends more time as his true self, often with Darcy, part of him dares to hope that his dream of love and life as a man can be possible. But suitors are growing bolder―and even threatening―and his mother is growing more desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be something he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly his own.

After suffering devastating loss and making drastic decisions, Zetian finds herself at the seat of power in Huaxia. But she has also learned that her world is not as it seems, and revelations about an enemy more daunting than Zetian imagined forces her to share power with a dangerous man she cannot simply depose. Despite having vastly different ideas about how they must deconstruct the corrupt and misogynist system that plagues their country, Zetian must join this man in a dance of truth and lies and perform their roles to perfection in order to take down their common enemy, who seeks to control them as puppets while dangling one of Zetian’s loved ones as a hostage. With political unrest and perilous forces aiming to undermine Zetian at every turn, can she enact positive changes as a fair and just ruler? Or will she be forced to rely on fear and violence and succumb to her darker instincts in her quest for vengeance?

A prim and proper lady thief must save her aunt from a crazed pirate and his dangerously charming henchman in this fantastical historical romance. Cecilia Bassingwaite is the ideal Victorian lady. She's also a thief. Like the other members of the Wisteria Society crime sorority, she flies around England drinking tea, blackmailing friends, and acquiring treasure by interesting means. Sure, she has a dark and traumatic past and an overbearing aunt, but all things considered, it's a pleasant existence. Until the men show up. Ned Lightbourne is a sometimes assassin who is smitten with Cecilia from the moment they meet. Unfortunately, that happens to be while he's under direct orders to kill her. His employer, Captain Morvath, who possesses a gothic abbey bristling with cannons and an unbridled hate for the world, intends to rid England of all its presumptuous women, starting with the Wisteria Society. Ned has plans of his own. But both men have made one grave mistake. Never underestimate a woman. When Morvath imperils the Wisteria Society, Cecilia is forced to team up with her handsome would-be assassin to save the women who raised her--hopefully proving, once and for all, that she's as much of a scoundrel as the rest of them.

Vous avez déjà essayé de taper le mot « vulgaire » dans un moteur de recherche ? Les résultats sont éloquents : des photos de femmes et des conseils de magazines féminins leur expliquant comment être sexy sans être vulgaire. Mais qui décrète que l’on est vulgaire ? Quelles sont les règles de la bonne ou de la mauvaise féminité ? Et qui décide ? Comme pour tout le reste, les femmes sont soumises à des injonctions impossibles à tenir puisque le moindre écart par rapport à la norme les fait pencher dangereusement vers une mauvaise féminité, comble de l’horreur en société. Valérie Rey-Robert réfléchit sur ces questions depuis plusieurs années et a décidé d’en faire un livre. Mais pas seule. Car ce qui représente la féminité, ce qui est permis ou non, est changeant selon que les femmes sont racisées, trans, grosses ou de classe inférieure. Ce sont tous ces angles qui seront étudiés à travers chacune des interventions des autrices, afin d’explorer la pluralité des féminités. Valérie Rey-Robert, Lexie Agresti, Marie de Brauer, Daria Marx, Taous Merakchi et Jennifer Padjemi sont connues et reconnues pour leur plume et leurs engagements. Entre témoignages et essais sociologiques, les textes sont complémentaires et riches de leurs expériences respectives.

Fearing for the Pig Wizard’s safety, Bea and Cad set out across Irpa to find him, while danger fights its way out of the shadows and into the light. Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? Or has Irpa truly seen its last sunrise?

J'ai meublé mon cerveau comme une petite maison. J'ai placé l'égo devant le miroir de la salle de bains et les émotions dans les odeurs de la cuisine. J'ai caché l'intime sous mon lit et j'ai soigneusement rangé les souvenirs au grenier. C'est une maison que j'habite et qui m'habite aussi. Je n'en ai pas les clefs tous les jours mais je m'y sens bien. Bienvenue à ma journée portes ouvertes. Math
