Lu Hsiu-lien’s journey is the story of Taiwan. Through her successive drives for gender equality, human rights, political reform, Taiwan independence, and, currently, environmental protection, Lu has played a key role in Taiwan’s evolution from dictatorship to democracy. The election in 2000 of Democratic Progressive Party leader Chen Shui-bian to the presidency, with Lu as his vice president, ended more than fifty years of rule by the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party).
Taiwan’s painful struggle for democratization is dramatized here in the life of Lu, a feminist leader and pro-democracy advocate who was imprisoned for more than five years in the 1980s. Unlike such famous Asian women politicians as Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi, India’s Indira Gandhi, and Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto, Lu Hsiu-lien grew up in a family without political connections. Her impoverished parents twice attempted to give her away for adoption, and as an adult she survived cancer and imprisonment, later achieving success as an elected politician—the first self-made woman to serve with such prominence in Asia.
My Fight for a New Taiwan’s rich narrative gives readers an insider's perspective on Taiwan’s unique blend of Chinese and indigenous culture and recent social transformation.

Dr. Pandora B. Angel was a practicing physician for thirty years. She spent twenty-three of those years as an emergency physician at a university medical center and an affiliated hospital. In Elusive Equity, Empathy, and Empowerment, she shares the challenges she faced as a female emergency physician in what is still perceived as a male profession.
Addressing the gender bias and inequality she experienced while striving for and achieving a career in medicine, this memoir address workforce power and control, double standards, gender bias, discrimination, the boys' club, harassment, contrived narratives for predetermined goals, retaliation, disregard for objective data, and misconceptions.
Through thoughtful vignettes, lessons, and appendices, this memoir explores the persistent culture of inequity in the workplace from Angel's perspective as a female physician in a male-dominated field. Teaching tools and lessons are provided at the end of each chapter to stimulate wider discussions of inequality, harassment, bias, and discrimination that still occur.
A sheltered New England girl relocates to South Florida and describes her online dating adventures in a world of perpetual vacationers, where values are skewed, lines are blurred, and her ideas about relationships indefinitely change.
Dana, better known as her username, Dana Dane, has horrible luck meeting the man of her dreams. She recruits her promiscuous, gold digging friend, Missy, to help her navigate the online dating waters. The two women find friendship and self-discovery through a series of exploits, sharing their dating woes with both onscreen correspondence, and in person mishaps.
After enduring more than her fair share of dating disasters, Dana Dane nearly gives up on finding romantic bliss until a blast from the past unearths a whirlwind of feelings from a love that she thought she had lost forever. Could it be possible that while she was searching for love, love may have just found her?
"I have never read a more heartfelt account of a women's battle with alcohol and its devastation." -- Reviewer
The biggest demons live inside of us.
Faith Smith has always had a problem with alcohol. At first, she didn't believe it was an issue, but slowly her life begins to unravel. Her job as a teacher hangs in the balance, her marriage begins to crumble, and she realizes that she's putting her addiction before even her own children.
