Inside World History LA REFLEXOLOGIE est une thérapie non conventionnelle qui s'occupe de la personne dans sa globalité et non d'une partie du corps.

Elle prend en compte l'aspect psychologique. La maladie se manifeste lorsque le bon fonctionnement est interrompu. La réflexologie procure un état d'équilibre et d'harmonie qui va inciter les différents systèmes et relancer la circulation sanguine et nerveuse.

In 2017, Emily Wilson did something no woman had done in four centuries of English literature.

She translated Homer’s Odyssey. Not adapted it. Not summarized it. Translated every line — all 12,110 lines — from the ancient Greek into English verse. And when readers opened her version, many realized they had never truly read The Odyssey before.

Wilson, a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania, grew up in England in a family of scholars, studied at Oxford, earned her doctorate at Yale, and spent five years on this translation. She knew the history she was stepping into.

Since George Chapman’s translation in 1614, through Alexander Pope in 1725, Robert Fitzgerald in 1961, and beyond, every major English version had been produced by men. Brilliant scholars, yes, but all working within cultural assumptions they rarely questioned.

Wilson questioned everything.

Take the very first word Homer uses to describe Odysseus: polytropos. Previous translators softened it to "resourceful" or "skilled" — Wilson translated it as "complicated."

A single word signals a different Odysseus: morally ambiguous, a survivor, willing to lie or do terrible things, not always noble.

She did the same with others: the enslaved women in Odysseus’s household, previously called "maids," "servants," or even "creatures," Wilson rendered as "slaves." Suddenly, the scene transforms — no justice for disloyalty, but the brutal reality of power, domination, and survival.

And Penelope, Odysseus’s wife, often depicted as passive and faithful in earlier translations? Homer calls her periphron — strategic, prudent, circumspect. Wilson’s Penelope manipulates, gathers intelligence, tests Odysseus. She is smart, active, calculating — exactly as Homer wrote.

Wilson did not modernize The Odyssey. She de-Victorianized it. She stripped away layers of centuries-old bias, letting Homer speak for himself. The result is sharper, stranger, more unsettling. Odysseus emerges as a complicated survivor, making terrible and heroic choices alike.

Some scholars pushed back, accusing her of imposing modern values. Her response: read the Greek. Every choice she made is faithful to the original language. She didn’t insert feminism; she removed inherited filters.

She wrote in iambic pentameter, giving the poem both ancient weight and immediate energy. The rhythm makes it feel like storytelling, alive, urgent.

The New York Times called it one of 2018’s most notable books. Critics called it revelatory. Scholars praised its accuracy. General readers discovered they could finally hear Homer’s voice — unfiltered by 400 years of assumptions.

In 2019, Wilson received a MacArthur Fellowship for her work.

Her translation is more than a literary achievement. It’s a reminder: language carries assumptions. Who gets to tell a story — and how — shapes what we think that story means. For four centuries, English speakers thought they were reading Homer. They weren’t. They were reading Homer filtered through men’s interpretations.

Emily Wilson didn’t change Homer. She revealed what had been changed all along. And the truth is more honest, more brutal, and infinitely more fascinating than we imagined.

Sometimes, it takes just one person willing to go back to the source and ask: what does this actually say?

London, 1965.

Diana Rigg was 27 when she was cast as Emma Peel in The Avengers — a spy drama that would become one of British television’s biggest hits.

Emma Peel in a leather catsuit, fighting villains with martial arts and sharp intelligence. Not a damsel in distress. Not eye candy. An equal partner — often the smartest person in the room.

The show became a phenomenon. Diana became internationally famous.

And then she discovered something that changed everything: she was being paid less than the cameraman.

Not less than Patrick Macnee, her male co-star — less than a crew member behind the camera.

When she demanded a raise from £150 a week to £450, the response was brutal. No one supported her. Not her colleagues. Not other women in the industry. Even Macnee, whom she adored, kept his head down.

"I was a lone voice in the wilderness," she said decades later. "Nobody backed me up. I was painted as this mercenary creature by the press when all I wanted was equality."

She got her raise. She also became one of the first women in television history to successfully fight for better pay.

But she didn’t stay. After two seasons, Diana left The Avengers — on her own terms.

This was 1967. Before second-wave feminism became mainstream. Before equal pay was seriously discussed in entertainment. Diana looked at the inequality, fought it alone, and moved on.

What makes her story remarkable isn’t just that moment. It’s what came after.

She refused to be defined by one role. She returned to classical theatre. She played Tracy Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service — still the only woman to marry James Bond. She won a Tony Award for Medea. She took roles that interested her, regardless of expectation.

And she never stopped speaking her mind.

In 2013, at age 75, she was cast in Game of Thrones as Olenna Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns.

It could have been a small role. The elderly grandmother in the background. Instead, Diana made Olenna unforgettable. She delivered lines with perfect timing, stealing every scene. When her character was killed off in season 7, her final moment became legendary. Poisoned but undefeated, she revealed to Jaime Lannister that she had murdered his son Joffrey:

"Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me."

Diana Rigg was 79. Appearing in one of the biggest shows in the world, playing a character who was sharp, powerful, and unapologetically herself.

She died on September 10, 2020, at age 82, cancer diagnosed just six months earlier. Her daughter, actress Rachael Stirling, was with her. Tributes poured in. Samuel L. Jackson called her “The Finest, Dopest Spy in the 60s & The Coldest Dopest Poisoner in Westeros.” George R.R. Martin wrote: “The world of television and film lost a titan.”

But what people remembered most wasn’t just her talent. It was her refusal to be diminished.

She fought for equal pay when no one supported her.
She refused to be trapped by a single image.
She aged publicly without apology.
She kept working into her 80s, choosing roles that challenged her.
She spoke her mind until the very end.

Dame Diana Rigg proved over a sixty-year career: you can walk away from the most popular show on television over principle. You can age visibly in an industry obsessed with youth and still be cast in major roles. You can be difficult, demanding, uncompromising — and still be respected and loved.

They tried to pay her less than a cameraman. She fought back alone and spent the next fifty-three years proving exactly who she was.

November 12, 2001.

Paul McCartney flew in from London with his fiancée Heather Mills. Ringo Starr drove over from a nearby hotel — he’d come from Boston, where his daughter was fighting a brain tumor. They were meeting George Harrison at a Manhattan hotel.

George had been battling cancer for three years. Throat cancer first. Then lung cancer. Now a brain tumor. He’d traveled to New York for experimental radiation treatment.

This would be the last time the three surviving Beatles were in the same room.

They’d known each other since they were boys. George and Paul first became friends riding the school bus to Liverpool Institute, bonding over guitars. Paul arranged an audition for George to join John Lennon's band, the Quarrymen. On the top deck of an empty bus one night, 14-year-old George played “Raunchy” by Bill Justis — note perfect. John was impressed. “He’s a bit young,” Lennon said, “but by God he can play.”

By 1960, they were the Beatles. Four kids from Liverpool who somehow became the biggest band in history. They’d lived together, traveled together, created together. Fought together too. By the late '60s, tension was unbearable. George felt overshadowed by John and Paul. When the Beatles broke up in 1970, George felt liberated. His triple album All Things Must Pass proved he had been holding back songs of his own for years.

But even after the breakup, even after lawsuits and bitterness, something remained. They were brothers.

November 12, 2001.

Paul arrived first. Ringo soon after. George’s wife Olivia was there. George was frail. On medication. He ate a vegetarian meal and drank only water. But he was in high spirits.

That’s what everyone remembers: George refused to let cancer steal his humor.

They reminisced. Tiny clubs in Hamburg, sleeping four to a room, performing sets until 2 AM. Jokes. Laughter. Tears.

Years later, Paul described the meeting: “We joked about things — just amusing, nutty stuff. It was good. It was like we were dreaming.”

And something happened that never would have occurred when they were young men trying to be rock stars. Paul held George’s hand.
"Even at the height of our friendship — as guys — you would never hold hands," Paul said. "It just wasn’t a Liverpool thing. But it was lovely."

After lunch, George left for radiation treatment. Ringo said goodbye — had to return to Boston. He hugged George. Paul stayed, spending the rest of the afternoon with George and Olivia, refusing to leave until George returned.

That was the last time all three surviving Beatles were together.

Seventeen days later, on November 29, 2001, George Harrison died at 58. A quiet, private place in Los Angeles. His wife Olivia and son Dhani by his side. Ravi Shankar, his mentor, nearby. Hare Krishna devotees chanted softly.

His family said:
"He left this world as he lived in it, conscious of God, fearless of death, and at peace, surrounded by family and friends. He often said, ‘Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait, and love one another.’"

Paul was in England when George died. “I am devastated and very, very sad,” he said. “He was a lovely guy and a very brave man and had a wonderful sense of humor. He is really just my baby brother.”

Outside Paul’s house, there’s a fir tree George gave him years ago. Paul planted it. “Every time I look at it, I go, ‘That’s the tree George gave me.’ George has entered that tree for me.”

Every year, on the anniversary of George’s death, Paul remembers.

November 12, 2001. Three men who once changed the world sat in a Manhattan hotel and remembered when they were just boys on a bus. They laughed about Hamburg. They cried about time. They held hands.

It wasn’t a concert. It wasn’t a reunion. It wasn’t for cameras or fans.
It was just three friends — who happened to be Beatles — saying goodbye the only way they knew how: with humor, honesty, and love.

Seventeen days later, there were only two.
But for a few hours on that November afternoon, they were all together one last time.

And that — more than any song, any album, any stadium — was the gift.

12/01/2026

She was just fifteen when her own blood betrayed her.

Her uncle, a man who should have protected her, traded her away for two bottles of whiskey and a silver coin. In that single moment, her childhood ended. The saloon that became her prison sat on a muddy frontier street, its red lantern swinging in the Kansas wind like a warning nobody heeded.

They gave her a room barely bigger than a closet. A bed that told stories she tried to forget. A mirror that showed a stranger looking back.

The owner had rules: Smile. Don’t fight. Never run.
Girls who ran were caught. Girls who got caught learned what happened next.

But this girl had something they couldn’t break: a stubborn flame that refused to die.

For three months, she watched. She listened. She learned which floorboards creaked and which locks were loose. She noticed the window at the end of the hallway, twenty feet above the muddy street below.

One stormy night, when thunder shook the walls and rain hammered the roof like heaven itself was angry, she made her choice.

She jumped.

Her arm shattered when she hit the ground. The pain was blinding. But pain meant she was alive. Pain meant she was free.

She ran through that storm until her lungs burned, until dawn painted the prairie gold, until the shouts behind her faded into memory.

The years that followed were brutal. She scrubbed pots until her hands bled. She shoveled stables in summer heat that could break a grown man. She took any honest work that would have her.

Every penny went into a tin box hidden beneath a floorboard. Every single one.

A kind farmer taught her to read using old newspapers. His wife taught her to shoot, saying every woman should know how to protect herself.

By twenty-five, she had saved three hundred dollars and learned something that changed everything: the saloon that had imprisoned her was for sale.

She walked into a lawyer’s office in her cleanest dress, carrying her tin box. When she counted out every dollar on his desk, the lawyer looked at her like she was dreaming.

But she wasn’t dreaming. She was remembering.

When she walked out, she owned the place that had once owned her.

The first thing she did was tear down that red lantern. The new sign read simply: “Freedom.”

The second thing she did was gather every woman still trapped inside. She made them real coffee and spoke words they’d never heard before.

"You work for yourselves now. You keep what you earn. You say no whenever you want. And if any man forgets you’re human, he answers to me."

Some cried. Some laughed. Some didn’t believe her until they saw she meant every word.

Word spread fast. Freedom wasn’t like other places. The women there smiled because they chose to. The music was gentler. Respect wasn’t optional.

She never married. Never had children of her own. But she became something more powerful: living proof that your beginning doesn’t have to be your ending.

On quiet evenings, she’d stand at the window she once jumped from. She’d look out at the peaceful street and smile.

Because the girl who was sold like property had become a woman who bought her own freedom. And then gave it away to everyone she could.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is survive. And sometimes, surviving means helping others do the same.

12/01/2026

On July 29, 2009, Major Mary Jennings Hegar was co-piloting a rescue helicopter toward a firefight near Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Three American soldiers were wounded. Bleeding out. A convoy had hit an IED, and the Taliban had set a trap — they'd injured the soldiers deliberately, knowing a helicopter would come. Over a hundred enemy fighters were dug into the hillsides, waiting.

MJ flew toward them anyway.

As their HH-60 Pave Hawk descended, the world exploded around them. Bullets punched through the windshield. Her pilot took a round to the chest — body armor saved him. Shrapnel tore through MJ's arm and leg. Blood soaked her flight suit.

Her hands stayed steady on the controls.

They touched down just long enough to load the wounded soldiers, then lifted off — mission accomplished.

But the helicopter was dying. Critical systems failing. Fuel pouring out. They weren't going to make it back.

MJ and her crew executed a hard landing two miles from the convoy. Surrounded by Taliban fighters, wounded, they grabbed rifles and set up a defensive perimeter. Protecting patients who desperately needed medical attention.

For twenty minutes, they held their ground.

Then they heard it — OH-58 Kiowa helicopters approaching. Two tiny two-seaters, no room for passengers inside. The crew would have to ride on the outside of the aircraft, strapped to the skids.

MJ, still bleeding, climbed onto the skids anyway. Straddling the mount, bracing her rifle, wind tearing at her body, enemy fire still coming. She returned fire until they reached safety.

Every single person made it home alive.

For her actions, Major Hegar received the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device — only the second woman ever to receive the DFC with Valor.

But according to military policy in 2009, she wasn't in combat. Women weren’t allowed in combat. Bullet wounds? Medals? Returning fire while hanging from a helicopter? Officially irrelevant.

After her injuries, she wanted to cross-train as a special tactics officer — a ground combat position. The military said no. Not because she wasn’t qualified. Because she was a woman.

In 2012, MJ joined three other female service members in a federal lawsuit challenging the combat exclusion policy. Her argument: "I've already been in combat. I've got the bullet wounds and the medals to prove it."

In January 2013, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced the combat exclusion policy would be lifted. By 2016, all military occupations were open to women. Not because bureaucrats decided to be progressive. Because women like MJ had already done the job.

MJ wrote a memoir called Shoot Like a Girl — a badge of honor from a compliment on the firing range. She later ran for Congress and Senate, continuing to advocate for veterans and service members.

When asked about that day in Afghanistan — hanging from a helicopter, wounded, shooting at enemies — she doesn’t talk about heroism. She talks about her crew.
"I wasn't thinking about medals. I was thinking about my crew."

July 29, 2009, was supposed to be routine.
It became the day Major Hegar proved that heroism doesn't care about gender. That courage looks like holding on when every instinct says let go.

Her legacy isn’t just the lives she saved.
It’s every woman who now has the opportunity to serve in roles previously closed — because MJ refused to accept that her service didn’t count.
She didn’t wait for permission. She just did the job.

She refused Hollywood's rules—and won three Oscars anyway.

While other actresses hired publicists and chased magazine covers, Frances McDormand made a different choice. She chased truth. The kind of truth that doesn't sparkle under studio lights but burns in your chest because it feels real.

She never started with a silver spoon. Born in Gibson City, Illinois, baby Cynthia Ann Smith was adopted at eighteen months by a traveling pastor named Vernon McDormand and his wife Noreen. They weren't wealthy. They weren't connected. But they taught their daughter something that would shape her entire life: authenticity matters more than applause. Speak your truth, even when your voice shakes.

That lesson followed her all the way to Yale's prestigious drama school. While her classmates rehearsed for stardom, Frances rehearsed for something harder. Real characters. Flawed women. The kinds of stories Hollywood usually threw away.

Then came 1984.
Two unknown brothers named Joel and Ethan Coen were making their first film with almost no budget. They needed a lead actress willing to take a risk on complete unknowns. Frances said yes.
Blood Simple changed everything.

She didn't just land a breakout role. She found her future husband. Joel Coen saw past the industry masks she refused to wear. They fell in love. They got married. They started making films that Hollywood didn't know it needed.

But 1996 would become the year that defined her.
The Coen Brothers handed her a script about a pregnant police chief in snowy Minnesota named Marge Gunderson. Other actresses might have hesitated. A waddling cop in a bulky winter coat? Not exactly glamorous.
Frances didn't hesitate.
She embraced every unflattering camera angle. She disappeared into Marge completely, solving murders and chasing killers while eating fast food in her patrol car. No makeup artist could transform her into a traditional movie star. That was the whole point.

Then came the scene audiences would never forget.
"There's more to life than a little money, you know," Marge tells a killer with quiet conviction. Frances delivered those words so simply, so honestly, that strangers in theaters felt them in their bones.

Her first Oscar followed.
Standing on that stage in 1997, Frances could have thanked the usual suspects. Instead, she thanked her adoptive parents—the pastor and his wife who taught her that being real beats being perfect every single time.

But she was only getting started.
While other Oscar winners chased bigger paychecks, Frances chased bigger truths. She became a rock and roll mother in Almost Famous. A coal miner fighting harassment in North Country. Each role peeled back another layer of what it means to be a woman trying to survive in America.

Then came 2017.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri handed Frances the role of Mildred Hayes. A mother whose daughter was murdered. A woman demanding justice from a town that wanted to forget. Mildred was angry. Profane. Relentless. Everything Hollywood tells women they shouldn't be.

Frances embraced every uncomfortable moment. She made Mildred's rage feel like your own.
When she won her second Oscar, she didn't just give a speech. She started a revolution.
She asked every female nominee in every category to stand up. Then she looked at the powerful men in the room and made a demand:
*"We all have stories to tell and projects we need financed. Don't talk to us about it at the parties tonight. Invite us into your office

12/01/2026

They told him no one could swim that fast. Then he won gold three times.

In 1911, a young man from Hawaii entered his first official swimming race in Honolulu Harbor.
He shattered the world record in the 100-yard freestyle—by over four seconds.

When the results reached officials on the mainland, they refused to believe it. The Amateur Athletic Union president declared the time "unacceptable" and suggested the Hawaiian judges must have been using alarm clocks instead of stopwatches.

Duke Kahanamoku was 20 years old. He had grown up in the waters off Waikiki Beach, swimming before he could walk, learning to read currents that could drag grown men under.
His stroke was unlike anything swimmers had seen. Powerful. Flowing. A revolutionary kick that seemed to make him glide.

The rejection didn't break him. It focused him.
The Hawaiian community raised money to send Duke to the mainland for the Olympic trials. He won every race he entered.

In 1912, at the Stockholm Olympics, Duke walked onto the pool deck as an unknown from a tiny island chain in the middle of the Pacific.
He left as the fastest swimmer in the world.

Duke won gold in the 100-meter freestyle, setting an Olympic record. In the final, he was so far ahead at the halfway point that he actually looked back to check on the other swimmers.

Then World War One canceled the 1916 Games. Young men who should have been racing were dying in trenches.
Duke waited.

In 1920, at age 30, he returned to the Olympics in Antwerp. He didn't just defend his title. He broke his own world record. His Hawaiian teammates finished second and third behind him.

In 1924, at 34 years old, Duke faced a young American named Johnny Weissmuller. Before the race, Duke turned to his younger rival and said something that defined his character:
"The most important thing is to get the American flag up there three times. Let's do it."

Weissmuller won gold. Duke took silver. His brother Sam claimed bronze.
All three American flags flew. And Duke smiled.

But Duke's greatest legacy happened outside the pool.
Between Olympic Games, he traveled the world with a 16-foot wooden surfboard weighing 114 pounds. At Freshwater Beach in Australia on Christmas Eve 1914, he paddled out into the waves and demonstrated an ancient Hawaiian art form few outside the islands had ever seen.
Thousands watched in amazement as Duke rode the waves standing tall on his board.

He did the same in California. New Zealand. Beach after beach.
He wasn't just performing a sport. He was sharing his culture. His heritage. His aloha.

When Duke died in 1968, his ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean off Waikiki. The same waters where a young boy had once learned that the ocean doesn't care about your doubts.
It only cares about your courage.

Today, his bronze statue stands on that beach, arms outstretched toward the sea. Visitors drape flower leis around his neck every single day.

Duke Kahanamoku was the first person ever inducted into both the Swimming Hall of Fame and the Surfing Hall of Fame.
But his truest monument isn't made of bronze.
It's every wave that breaks. Every swimmer who dives in despite the odds. Every person who hears "impossible" and decides to prove the world wrong.

One tiny splash of red in a world drained of color.
Eighty years later, the world still cannot forget her.
She was maybe four years old. Maybe five.
Hard to tell when you're watching the world end.

The Kraków Ghetto was being "liquidated"—that cold, clinical word the N***s used when they meant murder. For two years, thousands of Jewish people had been trapped behind those walls. Starved. Beaten. Worked to death.
Now the SS came for whoever remained.
March 13, 1943.

Imagine the sounds. Boots on cobblestone. Mothers screaming for their children. The crack of rifle fire echoing off narrow buildings. Furniture being thrown from windows. Bodies falling in the streets.
And through it all, this tiny figure in red.

Walking.

Some survivors remembered her holding her mother's hand at first. Others recalled her walking alone, like she was in her own world. Moving carefully through the chaos, stepping around things no child should ever see.

What struck everyone was that coat.

In a place drained of color—where even hope had turned gray—she was this bright splash of crimson. Like a single flower in a graveyard. Like life itself refusing to be erased.

They called her "Red Genia."

Her real name was Gittel. A little Jewish girl whose parents had fled to the countryside, leaving her with her uncle—a doctor in the ghetto—believing she would be safer there.

She became famous in the ghetto for hiding from the Germans. A four-year-old girl, playing the most dangerous game of hide-and-seek imaginable.

But on that final day, the N***s searched every building. Checked every hiding place. Listened for heartbeats behind walls.
They found her.

Gittel died that day with thousands of others. One of 1.5 million Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust.

The witnesses never forgot her. How could they?
Years later, when survivors tried to describe the horror of that day, they kept coming back to the same image. The tiny girl in red. The way she stood out. The terrible beauty of that bright coat against all that darkness.

Fifty years passed.
Steven Spielberg was making a film about those days—Schindler's List—the story of a German industrialist who saved more than a thousand Jewish lives when the world went mad.

He filmed nearly everything in black and white. The ghetto. The liquidation. The unspeakable horror of it all.
But then he added one touch of color.

A little girl in a red coat.

She appears for just moments on screen. Walking through the massacre while the camera follows her. The only splash of color in a gray world.

Spielberg later explained why he made that choice. It wasn't just about one child.
He said it represented how the leaders of America, Britain, and the Allied powers knew the Holocaust was happening—and did nothing to stop it. The red coat was like a flag waving, impossible to miss. Yet somehow, the world looked away.

Later in the film, you see that coat again.
On a cart carrying bodies to be burned.
The red now still. The child gone.

The world watched that scene and wept.
Because suddenly it wasn't just numbers anymore. It wasn't six million. It was one child. One red coat. One life that mattered infinitely.

That's what memory does. It takes the impossible weight of history and gives it a face. A color. A story small enough to hold in your heart, yet vast enough to represent millions.

Today, if you visit Kraków, you can stand where the ghetto used to be.
There's a square there now called Ghetto Heroes Square.
It's filled with empty metal chairs—large ones made of iron and bronze, scattered across the pavement. Each chair represents a thousand people who were forced to gather in that very spot, waiting for the trains that would take them to their deaths.

The chairs face the direction those people walked on their final journey.
They sit empty. Waiting for people who will never return.

There's something unbearable about an empty chair. It holds the shape of absence. It marks where someone should be sitting—but isn't.

We may never know everything about little Gittel.
Whether she was scared or brave in those final moments. What her favorite song was. Whether she understood what was happening around her.

But we know she was there.
We know people saw her and never forgot.
We know that sometimes the most important truths aren't found in history books—they're found in the colors that refuse to fade from memory.

In a world that forgets too easily, one little red coat still makes us stop and remember.
Reminds us that behind every statistic was a heartbeat. Behind every number was a name. Behind every tragedy are stories that deserve to be told—and retold—forever.

That's not just history.
That's how we keep the light alive.
