A conversation followed, at which point Hamilton felt certain that “other than pecuniary consolation would be acceptable” to Maria Reynolds.Īnd thus began an affair that would put Alexander Hamilton at the front of a long line of American politicians forced to apologize publicly for their private behavior. When he arrived at the Reynolds home, Maria led him into an upstairs bedroom. Hamilton was eager to be of service, but, he recounted later, it was not possible at the moment of her visit, so he arranged to visit her that evening, money in hand. Hamilton, just 34, was serving as secretary of the United States treasury and was himself a New Yorker she thought he would surely be able to help her return to that city, where she could resettle among friends and relatives. Her husband, James Reynolds, had abandoned her-not that it was a significant loss, for Reynolds had grossly mistreated her before absconding. Maria Reynolds, a 23-year-old blonde, came to Hamilton’s Philadelphia residence to ask for help. In the summer of 1791, Alexander Hamilton received a visitor.

In the third chapter, she begins to mount her argument against the misconception that women are inherently “weaker” (8) than men. In Chapter 2, she applies this argument specifically to women, stating that women are raised to practice “blind obedience” (24) and so often perpetuate their own oppression. She argues that the inequalities that derive from the wielding of power will always degrade man by demanding “blind submission” (16) from many towards a few. In Chapter 1, Wollstonecraft moves back from her principal argument to examine the wider issue of hierarchies and tyrannical power. She concludes that it is because men-and most women-believe that women are different beings entirely, and that they are inherently “the weaker vessel” (8). In the Introduction, Wollstonecraft examines why it is that society doesn’t treat women as man’s equal. Wollstonecraft suggests that to deny women what is being given to everyone else renders men nothing more than “tyrants” (4). Wollstonecraft opens by addressing a pamphlet recently published in France, in which French politician Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord argues for equal education for all, and yet omits women. Reading Secret Service was like watching an episode of 24 (the TV show with Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer □) as it covers – in the main narrative – a period of less than 24 hours in the lives of the US President and his Secret Service Agent In Charge/lover while also offering glimpses into the past.

I've never been with a man, but now? I'm dreaming about his bleu clair eyes and wondering what it would feel like if his lips touched mine. I’m on the verge of sliding into discoveries and truths that maybe I’m not ready for. He’s a storm at midnight, a dark moon rising, trouble on the horizon. I don't know what's hiding inside Brennan's gaze when he looks my way, or why black lightning keeps crashing between us. President Brennan Walker captivated me from the moment I walked into his Oval Office. A passionate, thrilling, and addictive standalone MM romance.

It was especially eye-opening to read Jenny’s accounts she did not make it her job of writing to build Scott into a hero. Scott and Jenny reveal much about themselves with a significant number of accounts which are not flattering, mostly for Scott. Together they are open and honest, if not raw, in North. Both Scott and Jenny excel at writing their styles are engaging, clear and flow easily. Scott and Jenny share the storytelling with Scott writing 80 or 90% of each chapter and Jenny following up with her own experiences, memories, and feelings from the same period. North’s format moves chronologically from the AT FKT attempt conception, to planning & prep and onto the 46+ days themselves. Along with Scott’s reputation for being exceedingly genuine, my contention is North is a book you can trust, and that goes a long way in today’s climate. Scott’s politeness and his missing drive, as discussed in the book, were both things I’d been witness to (prior to his AT FKT). In the case of Scott Jurek’s new book, North, about his 2015 Appalachian Trail FTK, my own experiences with Scott track very closely with the storytelling by both Scott and his wife Jenny. Because of this, it’s seemingly difficult to know how much embellishment, or even straight up fabrication, is included in anything you read. Without being too philosophical or cynical, the recounting of facts and telling of history has come into question over the last few years. |
