THE REBELLION OF THE BEASTS
Or, The Ass Is Dead! Long Live the Ass!!!
An important work of English satire attributed to the poet and essayist Leigh Hunt.

Originally published in England in 1825, this remarkable work of political and social satire predates George Orwell's Animal Farm
by 122 years.

The Rebellion of the Beasts, like Orwell's parable, is a brilliant and scathing commentary on revolution, the cult of personality, and the corruption of monarchy due to vanity, venality, and the ineradicable thirst for power and control.

AMAZON GIRLS HANDBOOK
By Becky Thacker

Think ladies' garden clubs. Think hiking clubs. Think bird watchers. Think competent women in sensible shoes. Think about the Amazon Girl oath, which says, "As an Amazon Girl I promise to always try to be out and proud, to be kind to the beasts, the children, the very old, to live the good life, and never sweat the small stuff."

Becoming an Amazon Girl is a process. Novice Amazon Girls are known as Tomboys when they learn the oath, the ideals, and the motto:
"We're prepared for a few things."
