From Eleanor of Aquitaine to Edith Piaf, Colette to Coco Chanel, discover the lives of 21 women who made French history

French women have always had so much more to say than 'let them eat cake'! Whether kicking the English out of Orléans, marching on Versailles or running messages for the French resistance, their stories of courage, creativity and genius have long defined French history.

Unveiling the lives of twenty-one women who changed the course of French history, Katherine Pangonis spins a new history of France from the fifth century to the present day.

Trace the rise of Eleanor of Aquitaine from teenage bride to the most powerful woman in medieval Europe; follow Berthe Morisot as she infiltrates art's biggest boy's club - the Impressionists; and discover how two of the twentieth century's great fashion icons - Coco Chanel and Josephine Baker - found themselves spying for opposite sides during World War Two. Meet lesser known (yet no less influential) figures like&nbsp;Christine de Pizan, a medieval proto-feminist, and Paulette Nardal, who took Paris's overwhelmingly white, male literary establishment by storm. Fresh, funny and unapologetically feminist, A History of France in 21 Women reveals France as never before.

Oxford Illustrated History

A beautifully illustrated and accessible account of the medieval crusades. The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades provides an accessible introduction to the medieval crusades and to the changes and developments that have taken place in their study over the last twenty-five years. Written by fifteen experts in the field, it opens with the nature of western European society in the eleventh century that gave rise to the holy war ethos, where the Church promoted violence against the perceived enemies of the faith not as a distasteful necessity in a fallen world but as a meritorious act which attracted a spiritual reward. The launch of the First Crusade in 1095 and its capture of Jerusalem four year later is described, along with the subsequent expeditions to the Holy Land up to 1271. Later chapters focus on some of the less well-known aspects. These include the reaction in the Islamic world to the crusades; the impact on the Jewish communities of western Europe; the perspective from the Byzantine empire; the crusades launched against Christians, whether Orthodox Byzantines or Hussite and Albigensian heretics; the literature and songs to which the crusades gave rise and the physical monuments that can still be seen today. Crusading continued long after the fall of Acre, the last outpost in the Holy Land, in 1291, becoming increasingly defensive in the face of the expansion of the Ottoman empire, although Christian forays into Africa and the Americas in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries were still regarded as crusades. Even in the nineteenth century, crusades were looked back on as a model for contemporary European imperialism.

Few countries have had as vexed a political history as Syria. Carved out of the Ottoman empire at the end of the First World War, Syria was then brutally ruled by France. This French 'mandate' carved out new borders with equally provisional neighbours in a process that pulled apart families, trade networks and political assumptions that had already been ravaged by the war. Syria's subsequent history has been a series of attempts to make sense of its borders, including a failed attempt in the late 1950s to unite with Egypt and several humiliations at the hands of Israel's armed forces. The civil war that broke out in 2011 plunged Syria into a nightmarish series of disasters, including the terrible years of Islamic State, ultimately resulting in the reimposition of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship, which came to an end in 2024. Daniel Neep's remarkable book creates a gripping, intelligent narrative of how Syrians have lived through these events, never losing sight either of the fates of ordinary people or of Syria's rich, complex and diverse society, unwillingly or willingly brought together in such a highly contested space.

Oxford Studies in Digital Politics

Congress is routinely lurching from one disaster to another, but the crisis that remains constant is the communication crisis - a failure of the technology and information dissemination that enable Congress to effectively communicate. This book considers how the staff and professionals that drive the daily operations of Congress have adapted to meet the rapid pace of news and information, meaning the logistics of daily engagement in Congress mirror that of a disaster response. Russell explains how Congress has developed into a crisis communication operation, pairing interviews of current and former congressional communication professionals with congressional Twitter data to illustrate how digital media has fueled the very same power asymmetries that new media was expected to disrupt. Through interviews with current and former congressional communications staff and analysis of Twitter data, the book reveals how digital media - especially Twitter - has actually made old power dynamics worse, not better. Instead of leveling the playing field, the speed and visibility of social media have made it even harder for the average member of Congress to keep up, leaving them more dependent on resources they often don't have - whether it's for policy or just getting their message out. At the heart of the book is this idea: social media has cranked up the pace of political communication and triggered a full-blown crisis in how Congress communicates. It's not just a pandemic-era problem - this crisis culture has been building for years. The constant rush to respond, explain, and go viral has overwhelmed lawmakers and their staff, who now have to act like full-time PR firms without the tools or time to do it well. Communications staff are stuck running a 24/7 rapid response shop, always bracing for the next online firestorm - but they're also drowning in the day-to-day work without enough help to stay afloat.

Dip below the Nile’s surface to the realm of ancient Egypt’s green-faced God of life, death, and rebirth. Known to the Greeks as Osiris, Wesir is one of ancient Egypt’s most enduring deities, worshipped from at least the Old Kingdom, alongside his consort Aset-Isis, until the 6th century CE. Looking to the cycles of nature, the ancients saw Wesir’s mythology made manifest in the landscape of the Nile Valley, reassuring them that just as the crops grow, die, and return, so shall Wesir, and all those who repeat his rituals. Bringing together Egyptological research and contemporary Pagan perspectives, this book invites readers to unearth the ancient mysteries of Wesir and to raise the Djed Pillar of his rebirth in the modern day.
