SUMMARY:Rethinking the Concepts of Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Frieda Afary is an Iranian American public librarian based in Los Angeles\, a translator\, and author of Socialist Feminism: A New Approach (Pluto Press\, 2022). \n“Woman\, Life\, Freedom” became the slogan of the woman-led uprising that started in Iran in September 2022 after the state police beating and murder of a young Kurdish woman for not wearing her hijab “correctly.” This slogan raises important questions not only for Iran but also for those in the United States and around the world who are concerned about women’s rights and human rights. \nThis presentation will discuss the ways in which many Iranians are thinking about the concepts of woman\, life and freedom today. It will also explore some ways in which these concepts have been addressed by contemporary feminist thinkers and eighteenth\, nineteenth and twentieth century philosophers. Comparing and contrasting these views can help shed light on key issues in today’s debates on gender\, reproductive rights\, individual rights and social responsibility.

DESCRIPTION:Join us as we chat with New York Times bestselling author\, Douglas Brunt\, about instant bestselling debut non-fiction work The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel: Genius\, Power\, and Deception on the Eve of World War I. \nThis book reveals the hidden history of Rudolf Diesel\, one of the world’s greatest inventors\, and his mysterious disappearance on the eve of World War I. \nSeptember 29\, 1913: the steamship Dresden is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famous men in the world\, Rudolf Diesel\, whose new internal combustion engine is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines around the world wonder if it was an accident\, suicide\, or murder. \nAfter rising from an impoverished European childhood\, Diesel had become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that does not require expensive petroleum-based fuel. In doing so\, he became not only an international celebrity but also the enemy of two extremely powerful men -– Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and John D. Rockefeller\, the founder of Standard Oil and the richest man in the world. The Kaiser wanted the engine to power a fleet of submarines that would finally allow him to challenge Great Britain’s Royal Navy.
