Kate Kelly Reihenfolge der Bücher

From before the Constitution was drafted to the modern day, women and queer people have helped shape the foundations of American democracy. In Ordinary Equality, Kate Kelly explores the past, present, and future of the Equal Rights Amendment through the lives of the incredible and often overlooked key players in its history. Biographies of Abigail Adams, Phillis Wheatley, Alice Paul, Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Pat Spearman, and more help uncover how and why constitutional equality for all has been systematically undermined for centuries and what we can do to make it a reality. This engaging, illustrated look at history, law, and activism is sure to inspire feminists of all ages to join the fight to finally get absolute equality into the Constitution. Book jacket.

The protagonist finds herself unexpectedly cornered by her mother, who is enthusiastically planning a wedding that isn't happening, shifting from blind dates to wedding arrangements. This awkward situation takes a turn when a work-related call about a dead body interrupts the conversation, providing a much-needed escape from the wedding talk. The story hints at a blend of humor and mystery as the character navigates family expectations while dealing with a darker professional reality.

'Commodity players are shrewd. And the contracts they trade are so loosely regulated that the correct combination of money and skill creates irresistible opportunity. That's why I'm only half joking when I call them the secret club that runs the world.' When most of us think of the drama of global finance, we think of stocks and bonds. But commodities? Crude oil and soya beans? Copper and wheat? What could be more boring? That's exactly what the elite commodity traders want us to think. They don't seek the spotlight. They don't want to be as famous as Warren Buffett. Their astonishing wealth was created in obscurity, because they dwell in private companies or deep within large banks and corporations. But if the individuals in the commodities boom have gone unnoticed, their impact has not. Prices of raw materials have exploded. Are the big traders jacking up the cost of petrol, food and essentials bought by people around the world? How did such immense power end up in the hands of a few? In this riveting book, Kate Kelly takes us inside the inner circle that affects so many things we all depend on. Following a trail from New York to London to Dubai, from hedge funds and banks to brokers and regulators, she reveals the fullest ever picture of the men who gamble with our future every day.
