Love, marriage… and a secret history of trauma. Anna Maria Tremonti has been keeping her past a secret for over 40 years. As one of Canada’s most respected journalists, she has a reputation for being fearless and hard-hitting. She’s reported from some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. But none were as immediately threatening as life at home.
In her early 20s, she fell in love with a man who seemed worldly and charming. Behind closed doors he was incredibly violent. They were only married for a year but the consequences of the abuse have lasted a lifetime.
This is the first time Anna Maria has told anyone—including family or close friends—the details of what she endured. Working with her therapist, she reveals the intimate details of a past she’s kept to herself for most of her life.
The result is a profoundly intimate portrait of a powerful woman confronting the source of tremendous pain and trauma and, remarkably, freeing herself from a life-long sense of shame. Written and hosted by Anna Maria Tremonti (The Current), produced by Daemon Fairless (Hunting Warhead, Boys Like Me) and mixed by Mira Burt-Wintonick (Wiretap, Love Me, Sorry About The Kid).
Feminist judgments : corporate law rewritten - Kelli Alces Williams, Usha R. Rodrigues, Anne M. Choike
"The modern American public corporation stands at the center of various forms of inequality in our society-because of its influence on the economy, the environment, and the government as well as its own employees and consumers. But corporate law has long overlooked the feminist perspective, to the detriment of many underrepresented minority populations. In this edited volume, a diverse group of scholars takes up the challenge to rewrite corporate law from a feminist perspective. Applying a feminist perspective to corporate governance and corporate law allows us to see what the world would look like if corporations were governed by different individuals with different priorities. The feminist judgments in this volume take on (1) the foundational principle that corporations are entities that possess a legal identity separate and distinct from their owners and the related concept of limited liability; (2) the appropriate scope of the rights that accompany corporate ownership (such as the "shareholder wealth maximization" norm); (3) the lack of diversity on corporate boards and at top management levels as well as the meaning of fiduciary duties; (4) the effects of interpersonal relationships in close corporations; and (5) the availability of protection for vulnerable investors and potential investors"--
