Us Women Ain’t No Joke: Book of Poems, by author Reneé Drummond-Brown, reveals the priceless-worth, value, and incredible achievements, of women across the globe that society ignores. It is no secret that the social order nationally deprives women of societal, economic, educational, and political statuses of equality across the globe.

Die ehemaligen römischen Gebiete machten sich abermals die Schriften der antiken Griechen und Römer und die Idee des Humanismus zum Vorbild.
