In the early 1970s construction began on a nuclear power plant at Laguna Verde in the Mexican state of Veracruz. Initially, most local citizens were largely unconcerned with the prospect of having the nuclear plant in their community. With the accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, however, residents' complacency toward the power plant soon turned to opposition.

The 1940 film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's gothic romance Rebecca begins by echoing the novel's famous opening line, 'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.' Patricia White takes the theme of return as her starting point for an exploration of the film's enduring power. Drawing on archival research, she shows how the production and reception history of Rebecca, the first fruit of the collaboration between Hollywood movie producer David O. Selznick and British director Alfred Hitchcock, is marked by the traces of women's contributions. White provides a rich analysis of the film, addressing the gap between perception and reality that is constantly in play in the gothic romance, and highlighting the queer erotics circulating around 'I' (the heroine), Mrs Danvers, and the dead but ever-present Rebecca. Her discussion of the film's afterlives emphasizes the lasting aesthetic impact of this dark masterpiece of memory and desire, while her attention to its remakes and sequels speaks to the ongoing relevance of its vision of gender and power.
"Rebecca, you must keep what I'm about to tell you very quiet. Do not breathe a word of it to anyone. Promise me... If anything happens to me, you get in touch with Sheriff Tom Ackerman of Virginia City and start an investigation.

Someone is serious about what they want from her dad, but what is it? As Rebecca unravels the mystery, she also discovers her growing attraction to the sheriff. Danger, mystery, romance, and a one-hundred-year-old ghost are just the beginning of what Rebecca finds in Patricia Redican's The Gold Nugget. Based in the quaint, historical town of Virginia City, Nevada, The Gold Nugget takes off with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing from cover to cover.
A memoir-in-essays from disability advocate and creator of the Instagram account @sitting_pretty Rebekah Taussig, processing a lifetime of memories to paint a beautiful, nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Rebekah Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Writing about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live i...

Established in 1947 by the Sisters of St. Basil the Great, Manor College transformed the lives of generations of students over the last 75 years through its liberal arts and career-focused degree programs. Nestled immediately outside Philadelphia in the bucolic surroundings of Fox Chase Manor, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, the college initially focused on providing a quality liberal arts education to young women from the Ukrainian American community and the Sisters of St. Basil the Great when it first opened. It blossomed into a dynamic community that championed career-oriented education; promoted its Ukrainian ethnic heritage and Catholic ties; and thrived on the deep and everlasting bond, nurtured through countless academic events and campus activities, between the sisters and their students. The visionary leadership of its nine female and male presidents carried it through important institutional changes, which included building and improving academic and residential structures, becoming a coeducational institution, and modernizing its curriculum with the recent debut of its first bachelor's degree programs.
