    Voucher Wars: Waging the Legal Battle Over School Choice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min
    Millions of American children are trapped in failing public schools because their parents lack the money to send them to private schools or move to better public-school districts. In Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, the most important education case since Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2002 opened the door for school vouchers and other forms of school choice. In Voucher Wars, Clint Bolick recounts the dramatic 12 year struggle to finally give families a choice in education. Because of the untiring work of Bolick, the man who began and nourished the legal battle for school choice, underprivileged children now have an opportunity for a better education. As the central figure in the legal battle over school choice, Bolick tells the story from the inside. Beginning the journey in Milwaukee with choice pioneer Polly Williams and going on to Maine, Vermont, Florida, and Ohio, he shares his personal insights, frustrations, and triumphs. Bolick also shows how the education establishment, particularly the teachers' unions, fights at every step against parental choice in education. In spite of the enormous power held by the opponents of school choice, Bolick and his colleagues triumphed. The battle for school choice isn't over, so Bolick provides a useful blueprint of the road ahead and describes how to apply the lessons learned from the past struggle. Supporters of school choice can take these lessons to heart as they face the challenges ahead. The freedom movement generally has a lot to learn from the school choice movement. The battle for school choice is a textbook example of how to reduce the power and scope of government. Bolick shows people who want to expand liberty how to do so, through not only words but also actions. Bolick's account of the school choice battle shows how confidence, determination, and perseverance can triumph in the end. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach.

    Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 574min
    A bold, original, moving book that will inspire fanatical devotion and ignite debate. "Whom to marry, and when will it happen - these two questions define every woman's existence." So begins Spinster, a revelatory and slyly erudite look at the pleasures and possibilities of remaining single. Using her own experiences as a starting point, journalist and cultural critic Kate Bolick invites us into her carefully considered, passionately lived life, weaving together the past and present to examine why she - along with over 100 million American women, whose ranks keep growing - remains unmarried. This unprecedented demographic shift, Bolick explains, is the logical outcome of hundreds of years of change that has neither been fully understood, nor appreciated. Spinster introduces a cast of pioneering women from the last century whose genius, tenacity, and flair for drama have emboldened Bolick to fashion her life on her own terms: columnist Neith Boyce, essayist Maeve Brennan, social visionary Charlotte Perkins Gilman, poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, and novelist Edith Wharton. By animating their unconventional ideas and choices, Bolick shows us that contemporary debates about settling down, and having it all, are timeless - the crucible upon which all thoughtful women have tried for centuries to forge a good life. Intellectually substantial and deeply personal, Spinster is both an unreservedly inquisitive memoir and a broader cultural exploration that asks us to acknowledge the opportunities within ourselves to live authentically. Bolick offers us a way back into our own lives - a chance to see those splendid years when we were young and unencumbered, or middle-aged and finally left to our own devices, for what they really are: unbounded and our own to savor. ungekürzt.

    The Yellow Wall-Paper, Herland, and Selected Writings (eBook, ePUB)
    A collection of the groundbreaking feminist writer's most famous works, with a thought-provoking introduction by bestselling author Kate Bolick Wonderfully sardonic and slyly humorous, the writings of landmark American feminist and socialist thinker Charlotte Perkins Gilman were penned in response to her frustrations with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in America as the twentieth century began. Perhaps best known for her chilling depiction of a woman's mental breakdown in her unforgettable 1892 short story 'The Yellow Wall-Paper', Gilman also wrote Herland, a wry novel that imagines a peaceful, progressive country from which men have been absent for two thousand years. Both are included in this volume, along with a selection of Gilman's major short stories and her poems. New York Times bestselling author Kate Bolick contributes an illuminating introduction that explores Gilman's fascinating yet complicated life.
