Dr. Jewel Tankard, the CEO and founder of the Millionairess Club, is going to attend the Millionairess Conference on Saturday, in Detroit. The conference inspires women to learn the rules of economics, become financially independent, and start their own businesses.

Tankard thinks a millionairess is someone who desires more. It has nothing to do with her present financial state. It has everything to do with her desiring more, wanting more and believing in more. The desire is big, but women are inspired in the end to make a big difference.

Tankard’s parents were the first African Americans to own a business in downtown Detroit. They had housekeepers, cooks, drivers, and all the best money could buy. After Tankard turned 19, however, they lost everything. After their lives greatly changed, Tankard asked her mom what her thoughts were during the process. Like many other women, her mother told her that she felt that some different financial decisions should have been made but she finally left money decisions up to her dad.

Tankard wants women to know they are able to become educated about financial matters and that they have the ability to make sound financial choices. Just because a man is a man, it doesn’t make him a better financial manager. Women should learn to trust their financial instincts and step up concerning money matters.

The Millionairess Conference is held to help ordinary women lead extraordinary lives by arming attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to take control of their finances. It works on providing financial advice to help women achieve generational wealth.

Charles Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities is set in the years before and during the French Revolution (1789-1799). During its    30    , French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens.

In reading the work, one sees that Dickens    31     some details of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mention of France’s spending    32     briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, the government often borrowed money because it spent more than it    33     in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of the working class, including peasants, as the    34     of the revolution.

Dickens’    35     of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the people that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense against a    36     attack by the king’s troops. However, Dickens does include some accurate details. The scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail, but    37     many women did so.

Dickens’ descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give readers some idea of how    38     officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror, which lasted about a year. Those executed included people who opposed the revolution, people who    39     the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were members of the ministry or nobility.
