Caroline
Sjælden førstehåndsberetning: Caroline Fleming fortæller for første gang hele historien om sit turbulente liv som del af den danske elite. Når hendes far satte Neil Diamonds ’Sweet Caroline’ på grammofonen vidste hun, at det ville blive en god aften, når hun som voksen kom på besøg på slottet. Det var som at få den kærlighedspokal, hun havde jagtet hele sin barndom. Andre gange havde hun kvalme af angst over at være tilbage i det hjem, hvor hun siden sine teenageår havde følt sig fejlanbragt; som om storken havde dumpet hende ned i den forkerte familie. Caroline Fleming er født som baronesse og arving til Valdemars Slot. Her fortæller hun for første gang hele historien om sit turbulente liv bag de smukke kulisser. Om et jetsetliv som gift i en af Englands rigeste familier, og om hvordan hun måtte bryde ud af det for ikke at gå til grunde. Om sladder, spiseforstyrrelse og en sen ADHD-diagnose. Og om at miste sin familie og det slot, hun var født til at arve, for i stedet at vinde noget

Absolutely absorbing from start to finish, this is a true story you might truly fall in love with.

Reproductive Rights and the Law
This book examines reproductive rights and their complex interaction with the law and with society, exploring differing perspectives and placing these in their respective cultural, social and religious contexts. Kerry O’Halloran explores the socially divisive question of abortion and, using examples from both developing and developed countries, considers how context determines the legal position. He also addresses a plethora of issues surrounding related reproductive rights including maternity care, IVF, adoption and surrogacy, genetic engineering and establishing the reproductive rights of trans persons. In navigating all of these, O’Halloran reflects on fundamental questions such as where the public and private divide lies in exercising one’s right to autonomy, and how reproductive rights have contributed to the progression of gender parity. The book carefully identifies internationally established legal benchmarks with references to key principles, policies and case law, and
