- Ask not : the Kennedys and the women they destroyed / by Callahan, Maureen(Journalist),author.;
"From Maureen Callahan, a fierce, character-driven exposé of the real Kennedy Curse -- the family's generations-long legacy of misogyny, murder, and mayhem. The Kennedy name has long been synonymous with wealth, power, glamor, and -- above all else -- integrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the pattern of Kennedy men physically and psychologically abusing women and girls, leaving a trail of ruin and death in each generation's wake. Through decades of scandal after scandal -- from sexual assaults to reputational slander, suicides to manslaughter -- the family and their defenders have kept the Kennedy brand intact. Now, in Ask Not, author and journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys' hidden history of violence and exploitation, laying bare their unrepentant sexism and rampant depravity while also restoring these women and girls to their rightful place at the center of the dynasty's story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Martha Moxley, Mary Jo Kopechne, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren't nearly as well known but should be. Drawing on years of explosive reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled family and a consequential part of American history that is still very much with us. At long last, Callahan redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys' orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselves and giving voice to those who, through no fault of their own, could not"--Dust jacket flap.- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Alford, Mimi.; Kennedy, Carolyn Bessette, 1966-1999.; Kennedy, Joan Bennett.; Kennedy, Kathleen, 1920-1948.; Kennedy, Rose Fitzgerald, 1890-1995.; Kennedy, Rosemary, 1918-2005.; Kopechne, Mary Jo, 1940-1969.; Monroe, Marilyn, 1926-1962.; Moxley, Martha.; Onassis, Jacqueline Kennedy, 1929-1994.; Kennedy family.; Scandals.; Women;

Al monstruo Achuchones le encanta dar abrazos, sobre todo a su amiga... Pero, a veces, a ella no le apetece que la abracen. Un día, la niña decide que ha llegado el momento de enseñarle a Achuchones que tiene que respetar su espacio y entender que no se puede tocar a otra persona sin su permiso. En ocasiones, la inocencia y el desconocimiento de los niños les impiden detectar situaciones de abuso y de falta de consentimiento, por lo que debemos enseñarles desde temprana edad que su cuerpo es suyo, que hay partes de él que son PRIVADAS y que nadie puede tocarlos sin SU PERMISO. Y si en algún momento no se sienten cómodos, deben decir NO, porque quien nos quiere nos respeta y nos cuida. La pediatra y divulgadora Mar López, con más de un millón de seguidores en redes, presenta un álbum ilustrado que explica a los más pequeños de maneraclara y sencilla qué son los límites y el consentimiento. A través de la historia del monstruo Achuchones, tanto los niños y las niñas de 4 años en adelante como los adultos aprenderán conceptos imprescindibles para todos, porque el consentimiento no entiende de edades.An illustrated story by pediatrician Mar López that clearly and simply explains to young children what consent is, and what the boundaries concerning our bodies are, and to guide parents in preventing child sexual abuse. Huggy the Monster loves giving hugs, especially to his friend... But sometimes, she doesn't feel like being hugged. One day, the little girl decides it's time to teach Huggy that he must respect her space and understand that you can't touch another person without their permission. Sometimes, children's innocence and lack of knowledge prevent them from detecting situations of abuse and boundaries being overstepped, so we must teach them from an early age that their body is theirs, that there are parts of it that are PRIVATE, and that no one can touch them without THEIR PERMISSION. And if at any moment they feel uncomfortable, they should say NO, because those who love us respect and care for us. Pediatrician and educator Mar López, with over a million followers on social media, offers here an illustrated book that explains to young children in a clear and simple manner what boundaries and consent are. Through the story of Huggy the Monster, both children aged 4 and up and adults will learn essential concepts about boundaries, because consent knows no age.- Subjects: Picture books.; Child sexual abuse; Consent (Law); Boundaries (Psychology); Personal space; Hugging; Human body; Spanish language materials.;
