Sinopsis

In "Lucy Stone: Pioneer of Women's Rights," Alice Stone Blackwell meticulously chronicles the life and achievements of Lucy Stone, a trailblazing advocate for women's suffrage and rights in the 19th century. Employing a blend of biographical narrative and historical analysis, Blackwell elucidates Stone's struggles against societal norms and her role in the burgeoning women's movement. The text is characterized by its rich detail and engaging prose, intertwining personal anecdotes and broader societal implications, thus capturing the zeitgeist of a transformative era in American history. The book also reflects the growing scholarly interest in women's contributions to social reform, positioning Stone as not just a subject of history, but a vital participant in the fight for equality. Alice Stone Blackwell, notable for her lineage as the daughter of prominent abolitionist and suffragist Lucy Stone, was inherently influenced by her mother'Äôs commitment to social justice. Blackwell's close relationship with influential reformers and her own ventures into journalism and activism provide her with a unique perspective that enriches the narrative. Her insights into the hardships faced by women during this period lend authenticity and emotional depth to the biography. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in women's rights, American history, or the interconnectedness of social movements. Blackwell'Äôs work not only honors her mother's legacy but also inspires contemporary audiences to recognize the ongoing struggle for gender equity. Readers will find themselves both informed and moved, making it an essential addition to any library dedicated to understanding the fight for justice.

    Martin Hibbert was left paralysed from the waist down by the Manchester Arena bombing which killed twenty-two people on 22 May 2017. Martin’s teenage daughter Eve was one of the 940 injured, in Eve’s case, gravely. The dad from Bolton has since become a leading campaigner both for victims of the atrocity and those with spinal cord injuries. 
    Determined to make a difference he took on the ultimate challenge, scaling Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair, becoming the second paraplegic to do so, and raising a million pounds for charity. Reaching the summit, on 13 June 2022 Martin, who was the closest person to the bomber to survive, said, ‘I’ve often wondered why I was saved. Now I know why. It was for this moment.’ 
    This is Martin’s incredible story.

    "We weren't religious per se. The most frequent mention of God in our house was my mother yelling 'Goddammit!'" 
    Part memoir, part social history, in Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and other lies), Elisa Bernick uses her family’s experiences to explore Minnesota’s legacy of antisemitism and the struggle for women’s rights during the 1960s and early 1970s. She tells both heartbreaking and hilarious stories about being the only Jews in the suburb of New Hope during this period and shows how being considered “different” took a toll on her family, particularly her mother. This book discusses abandonment, abuse, intergenerational trauma, and divorce, but it uses humor and sensitivity to present a hopeful message about examining the flexibility of memory and the possibility of rewriting the stories we tell about trauma and transforming them into tales of empowerment. 
    Deftly interweaving reporting, archival material, memoir, jokes, scrapbook fragments, personal commentary, and one very special Waikiki Meatballs recipe, Bernick explores how the invisible baggage of place and memory, Minnesota's uniquely antisemitic history, and the cultural shifts of feminism and changing marital expectations contributed to her family's eventual implosion. 
    Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and Other Lies) is a personal exploration of erasure, immigrants, and exiles that examines the ways departures—from places, families and memory—have far-reaching effects.

    Troublemaker - A Memoir of...

    Lisa Cornwell never shied away from standing up to bullies. When she was a freshman in college, she saw a man hit a woman in the face with a closed fist while a paralyzed crowd stood by and watched. Seconds later, she took matters into her own hands—with a 3-iron from her golf bag. 
     
     
     
    This impulse crystallized years later when Cornwell publicly spoke out against the misogynistic culture she and others experienced at the hands of their employer, Golf Channel/NBCUniversal. Throughout her time at the network, she challenged the toxic environment and was quickly branded a "troublemaker"—a label that often accompanies women who refuse to play by an antiquated set of rules. 
     
     
     
    In this authentic and unreserved memoir, which includes a powerful foreword from Hillary Rodham Clinton, Cornwell takes listeners inside the boys' club of sports media and reveals the way powerful corporations cover up wrongdoings. For her, what began with retaliation exploded into a public smear campaign and, ultimately, her dismissal. She also shares the unlikely yet formative touchstones of her life: a close friendship with Tiger Woods when both were nationally ranked junior golfers; her cousin, Bill Clinton, being elected President of the United States; and the private demons she battled as a young adult that almost cost her everything. 
     
     
     
    Note: Listeners can access the foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton in the bonus PDF accompanying this audiobook.
