Iar cum apartenenta la Ordinul Dragonului se si mostenea, la fel vor fi chemati, ba in tara, ba de straini, si fiii lui Vlad Dracul, Vlad Tepes si Radu cel Frumos. Si, intrucat in latineste dragonului i se spune draco, i-a iesit lui Vlad Voda porecla „Dracul“ sau „Draculea“. De aceea, cand va ajunge efectiv domn al Tarii Romanesti in 1437, Vlad, mandru de apartenenta la Ordinul Dragonului, va pune sa se bata moneda cu emblema Ordinului: un dragon si o cruce. Era o cinste mare sa faci parte din acel Ordin.

Somewhere far away-or maybe right nearby-lies an archipelago called Popisho. From the gods: a thing that felt so inexpressibly your own. Leone Ross is a marvel of a writer, and this book absolutely bespelled me.” -Amber Sparks, author of And I Do Not Forgive YouĮveryone in Popisho was born. “I feel like I have been waiting my whole life to read a novel this expansive, this generous, this full of magic and massive personality. The fierceness of this novel in its imagery, in its ideas about women, the way it spoke to so many concerns of now, drew me in, but the caramel of the relationships, the way Leone Ross writes about intimacy, kept me enthralled.” -Megan Giddings, author of Lakewood Hands that can heal, palms that glow silver, body parts that abruptly fall off even though their owners keep living abound here. “ Popisho mixes lush, descriptive prose with the unrepentant wildness of folktales.

This is a pitch perfect, engaging, and accessible credo written by one of today’s most influential feminists. Anger is not what gets in our way, it is our way. Because contrary to the endless barrage of self-help rhetoric about anger management and letting go, the reality is that our rage is the most important resource we have as women, a force for creation rather than destruction, our sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression. We are mad as hell, and that's completely okay. And when we somehow manage to put one high heel-battered foot in front of the other despite all of this, we're asked if it would kill us to smile. We are told to stand down when we have an opinion and to calm down when we are fired up. The assertive among us are labelled bitches, while the expressive among us are considered shrill. We are underpaid, overworked, thwarted and diminished. Women are angry, and it isn't hard to figure out why. After all, women have a lot to be angry about.'
