When the castle is threatened, however, Princess Fred realises that her way isn't wrong, just different -- and it may just save the day!

Princess Backwards

This collection of poetry was meant to be responses to phrases and conversations that took place during a decade-long series of romantic relationships with the same partner, but at some point, it became something more than that. It became the opportunity to show the difference between a healthy relationship and a toxic one. It became the chance to relive not only some of the worst moments of my life, but also some of the best ones. It also became the chance to show that there is hope even in the most hopeless situation. That sometimes the best moments in our lives arrive unexpectedly.

Using the history of the Irish linen industry as a substantive case study Spinning the Threads of Uneven Development shows how gendered variations in the division of labor within and between households affected the economic development of the local and regional textile industry beginning with industrialization through to the transition to industrial capitalism. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from census records to folk poetry, Jane Gray develops a dynamic model of gender that links the allocation of labor within households to macro-socioeconomic change. Expanding on recent literature of the salience of gender in the Irish political economy, Spinning the Threads of Uneven Development is important reading for social and economic historians as well as those interested in the role of gender in economic development and Irish history.
