Showing titles in Women in Politics

Like Nancy herself, this book is rich in surprises and contradictions about a remarkable woman who used her privilege to support social change and the battle to better women’s lives.

Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and crusader for democracy in Myanmar, is once again behind bars. Her resounding victory at the polls, and re-election to office as civilian head of state, was overturned by the February 2021 military coup – a move with ruinous consequences. Aung San Suu Kyi has been here before. The first half of her political career was spent under house arrest. But this time she awaits sentencing for a variety of charges clearly calculated to keep her out of politics, and almost certainly in prison, for the rest of her life.

Questo audiolibro si apre con il racconto delle settimane immediatamente successive al massacro compiuto dai terroristi palestinesi in Israele, ai confini con la Striscia di Gaza, con atrocità persino più agghiaccianti delle orribili pagine dell'Olocausto. E spiega perché si è arrivati a un punto cieco, ripercorrendo settantacinque anni di occasioni perdute, dal 1948 a oggi. Se Hamas (e non è il solo) vuole cancellare Israele, Putin continua a voler cancellare l'Ucraina, con una guerra che ha fatto ormai centinaia di migliaia di morti e di cui non si vede la fine.
