If Trump wins, we lose: Ivanka promotes book by her father's vocal critic
Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, has once again drawn attention, but this time not for political commentary, but for her reading choices. The 43-year-old recently took to Instagram to share a photo of Untamed, the best-selling memoir by Glennon Doyle, a self-help author and outspoken critic of her a post captioned 'This week in Miami,' Ivanka offered glimpses into her daily life, which now centers around wellness, family, and quiet reflection rather than the political carousel of images included scenes of workouts, family outings, and leisure activities like golfing and fishing. But it was the snapshot of Untamed, a memoir steeped in themes of self-liberation and empowerment that raised eyebrows. Doyle, who actively campaigned against Trump during the 2020 election and supported Kamala Harris, hasn't been shy about her views. In a widely shared post leading up to the election, she warned: 'If Trump wins, we lose,' citing concerns over women's rights under his memoir, which chronicles her journey through divorce, motherhood, and coming out as a lesbian, is lauded as a testament to living subtle endorsement of the book stands out against the backdrop of her withdrawal from public political life. Once a senior adviser in the Trump White House and a key figure during her father's first term, she has taken a different path in recent relocating to Miami with her husband Jared Kushner and their three children: Arabella, 13, Joseph, 10, and Theodore, 8, IIvanka has chosen a life away from Washington's high-stakes on The Skinny Confidential podcast, Ivanka opened up about the emotional toll of her time in the White House. 'It's a very dark, negative world,' she said, referring to politics.'Unfortunately, there is a darkness to that world that I don't really want to welcome into mine.' She reflected on how the experience made her 'a little bit calloused,' and emphasized her desire to be present for her also described her new role in her father's life not as a political advisor, but simply as a daughter. 'I'm most looking forward to just being able to show up for him to take his mind off things, and like watch a movie or a sports game,' she said. 'It's the world's loneliest position.'This is not the first time Ivanka has shared her reading habits. Her Instagram has previously featured titles such as Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, and The Women by Kristin Hannah. According to her, books often come recommended by podcast hosts and influencers—including Untamed, which was suggested by Lauryn Bosstick of The Skinny Reel

Dayton professor to discuss NATO's impact on women, peace, security
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A local professor will speak on the state of the United Nations Women, Peace and Security Agenda during the 2025 NATO Parliamentary Assembly Spring Session. Natalie Hudson, a professor of political science and law, was invited to speak on behalf of the Committee on Democracy and Security. Hudson is also the executive director of the University of Dayton Human Rights Center. This committee is made up of 60 legislators from member states and partner countries. Volunteers spruce up Dayton for upcoming NATO visit This committee meeting will be on Saturday, May 24. The panelist will talk about NATO's role in supporting policies following the Women, Peace and Security agenda. This agenda began in the year 2000 when the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 was adopted. 'The Women, Peace and Security agenda has a lot of relevance to how NATO functions internally as a military alliance and externally in the countries where it intervenes,' said Hudson. 'Even though the agenda originated at the United Nations, I think NATO stands to be a real leader in women, peace and security in the years ahead, especially given Europe's historical support for the work.' Hudson's panel will not be open to the public as it will take place in the NATO village area downtown. However, there will be 12 panels open to the public at the Roger Glass Center for the Arts. These panels are a part of the 'The Dayton Dialogue: Conversations about Peace and Security in the Balkans,' which was announced by U.S. Rep. Mike Turner and UD President Eric F. Spina back in March. LIST: Public invited to forums during NATO Assembly The 25th anniversary of The Women, Peace and Security Agenda will be this October. The agenda focuses on the protection needs and unique struggles both girls and women have in war-torn areas. Particularly, gender-based and sexual violence. The agenda also shines a light on the vital role women have in peace processes, from peacekeeping to peacebuilding. To learn more about The Women, Peace and Security Agenda, click here.

5 books about forgotten female heroes to celebrate Women's History Month
5 books about forgotten female heroes to celebrate Women's History Month Women's History Month is almost at a close, but there is still time to add empowering reads to your TBR before March is over. Stories of unsung female heroes are having a moment, like Kristin Hannah's 'The Women,' which spotlights the 'forgotten' female veterans of World War II. Kristina McMorris, the author of the bestselling historical fiction novel 'Sold on a Monday' and the upcoming 'Girls of Good Fortune,' told USA TODAY that women's historical fiction is an uplifting space for readers and writers. 'There is something that is very special about having female bonds and friendships (where) we really understand each other and are there to support each other,' McMorris says. 'We are so passionate about shining a light on these stories from the past that it never feels competitive. We are all just there to help lift each other up and spread word about each other's stories and about each other's talents as much as possible. It is an amazing community.' Here are five books we recommend checking out and the real-life history behind them. 'Harlem Rhapsody' by Victoria Christopher Murray What's it's about: This novel follows Jessie Redmon Fauset, a high school teacher from Washington D.C. who arrives in Harlem as she becomes the first Black woman named literary editor of The Crisis magazine. But her secret affair with her older boss, W. E. B. Du Bois, threatens her position. Determined to prove herself, Jessie throws herself into helping The Crisis thrive by scouting writers who would someday become literary icons, including Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes and Nella Larsen. The real history: Fauset became the literary editor of The Crisis, the official magazine of the NAACP, at Du Bois' persuasion. She edited and published the work of notable Harlem Renaissance writers but was rarely given credit for her role in the artistic movement. Like many others, Fauset's writing was often dismissed because it dealt with 'women's issues' and because she was a woman herself, The New Yorker reported. But scholars and writers alike acknowledge that the movement would not have been possible without her. 'The Women' by Kristin Hannah What it's about: 'The Women' is the story of the women serving in the Army Nurse Corps during the Vietnam War. It follows 20-year-old sheltered nursing student Frances 'Frankie' McGrath, who, while in Vietnam, makes friends and learns that every day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal. When she comes home to a changed America, she has to face a country that wants to forget Vietnam and ignore the women who served in it. The real history: About 10,000 women served in-country in Vietnam, and 265,000 served in the war efforts overall. Many were nurses, averaging just 23 years old, according to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. These Vietnam veterans are sometimes called the 'forgotten veterans' because of the hostility and ignorance they faced from Americans who did not believe women served in the war. 'The Rose Code' by Kate Quinn What it's about: This World War II novel follows three female code breakers at Bletchley Park, working against the clock to solve the puzzle and crack German military codes. If that isn't pressure enough, the women are faced with a mysterious traitor who emerges, years later, as the three friends are torn apart. The real history: Most think of Alan Turing cracking the Enigma Code when it comes to World War II code breakers, but more than 10,000 women also served for the U.S. Army and Navy in that capacity. At a time when employment opportunities for women were a rarity, code breaking offered jobs to the math- and puzzle-minded. Female code breakers were crucial to the U.S. winning the war. 'The Queen of Sugar Hill' by Reshonda Tate What it's about: 'The Queen of Sugar Hill' is a fictional portrait of Hattie McDaniel, the Hollywood actress who would become the first Black person to win an Oscar. The story picks up after she receives her award for best supporting actress, only to face unemployment, discrimination and disdain from both white and Black communities. The real history: The 'Gone with the Wind' actress is far from unknown, but her accolades are wholly underappreciated and overlooked. McDaniel's career was hindered by racism and sexism, especially after 'Gone With the Wind.' Many Black audience members saw her role as 'Mammy' as furthering racist stereotypes. In her later years, McDaniel successfully lobbied against racially restrictive deeds that were pushing Black residents out of neighborhoods. 'Forbidden City' by Vanessa Hua What it's about: Beginning on the eve of China's Cultural Revolution, 'Forbidden City' follows a teenage girl named Mei who becomes the Communist Party Chairman's muse, lover and confidante. Within the capital, Mei becomes disillusioned with the Chairman and his politics, eventually publicly betraying him and running away. Here, she learns just how much female revolutionaries have been erased and rewritten. The real history: 'Forbidden City' tells the stories of women who fought and endured during the Cultural Revolution, only to be left in the heavily edited footnotes of history. Mei is a reimagining of the underage girls Mao Zedong slept with during this time. Here, Hua shines a light on the lesser known role of young women in the Cultural Revolution and disillusionment in abusive political figures. Looking for your next great read?
