New Book: Why Women MUST NOT Be Allowed To Vote

Image
  Today, you don’t have to be a man to vote in most countries. But, many passionate people fought this every step of the way. Women should NOT be allowed to vote, they said. If you’re not a man, you should know that campaigners wrote letters to the editor against giving  you  the right to vote. Journalists wrote dedicated articles. People protested in the streets! They fought  hard . But,  why ? I searched history records and academic literature to find out.  What I found shocked me.  Now, you’ll see the truth - including original letters to the editor that radiate raw hate. You can expect these arguments to offer a reading experience that’s both amusing and deeply unsettling. This is part of your history even if you’re outside Australia. After all, Australia’s early decisions to make some women eligible to vote contributed to earthquakes of agitation for suffrage world-wide. This is a chance to reflect on how things happened in your country too. Were ...

What do you see on a road trip to Nazaré ? | World record surf! | Travel Vlog

Image
If you go to the town of Nazaré in Portugal, what can you expect to see? 🏖️ Come for a road trip with me and find out! 🌞🌊👙🐚🐬⛵🍦🌴🌅 I owe huge thanks to Daniel for organising the trip, and for Daniel, Clau, and Siobhan for making it fun. 💌 Oh, and something I forgot to mention in the video is the fact that there are people with communications equipment on the beach. They tell the people on the jet skis when the next big wave is coming, and where it is. The jet ski will then drag the surfer out to the big wave and release them to try to ride it. I hope you enjoy this video. Please leave me a comment and say hi! I'd love to hear from you. Charles and I will be exploring southern Turkey from now until mid February 2023. Please comment or connect on our socials if you'd like to meet up. xox Penelope Let's Connect on travel: 🎬 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN4QAEZDtR0tYtRRHw71oag?sub_confirmation=1 🎫 https://www.travelfunmusic.com/ 👍 https://www.facebook.com...

What to do in Monchique, Portugal? Hiking! | Travel Meetup Vlog | 2021

Image
Do you crave fresh mountain air, sunshine, and new discoveries beyond the forest? 🥾 Join me in a special hike in Portugal! We'll walk from the village of Monchique to Caldas de Monchique, home of Fonte dos Amores. 🌳🍄🐌🌲🐛☘️🍃🐦 This is the Algarve region, but we're in the green mountains... not down at the beach! You'll see mountain views from the slopes of the Serra de Monchique. Monchique is the home of the monchique termas, which are blissful natural thermal spas! 💆🧖‍♀️ You'll see what the landscape is like and also learn about wild food. 🍇🌳 Most people do the Monchique Fóia Trail, but few know about this one! I think it's one of the best walks in the Algarve. I've filmed this mostly in POV so you can see what I see. The waters of Caldas de Monchique have been famous since Roman times because of people's beliefs about their healing properties.... and for love! 💖 This special place was often used as a special holiday retreat for Portuguese royalty...
