Sinossi

In "Lucy Stone: Pioneer of Women's Rights," Alice Stone Blackwell eloquently chronicles the life and achievements of Lucy Stone, a vanguard of the American women's rights movement. Adopting a biographical narrative interwoven with compelling social commentary, Blackwell highlights Stone's relentless fight for equality, her groundbreaking role in securing women's right to vote, and her advocacy for abolition. The book's literary style is both engaging and scholarly, featuring rich historical context that situates Stone's work within the broader tapestry of 19th-century reform movements and feminist thought. Alice Stone Blackwell, a prominent women's rights activist and Lucy Stone's daughter, brings an intimate understanding of her subject to this work. Her upbringing in a household dedicated to social reform undoubtedly influenced her desire to honor and articulate her mother's contributions. Blackwell's voice is authoritative yet personal, reflecting not just an academic interest but a deep familial connection to the struggles and aspirations that defined her mother's life. This book is a must-read for those interested in women's rights, American history, or the evolution of social justice movements. Blackwell's intricate portrayal of Lucy Stone not only serves as an essential biography but also inspires contemporary readers to continue the pursuit of equality and justice in their own lives.

    At twenty years old, five feet eight and with boobs that were 'inconveniently fulsome', Ruth was not quite young enough, tall enough, or waif-like enough to ever hope for a meteoric rise to supermodel status. And yet her sheer optimism and questionable grasp on reality led her to abandon her law degree and begin a career with one of the biggest agencies in the world. 
     
     
     
    Follow Ruth through a rip-roaring, hilarious decade of not quite making it as a supermodel.

    For Pamela Wick, President and Mrs. Reagan were simply Ronnie and Nancy, her parents' best friends. What began with Pamela's mom and Nancy organizing the chili booth at their kids' school fair in Los Angeles soon propelled Pamela's parents into pivotal roles that would help Reagan secure the California governorship and eventually the grand prize: the White House. 
     
     
     
    Determined to win her parents' approval as the perfect daughter, Pamela marries the son of Republican royalty and joins them in DC to begin her fairytale in the nation's Capitol—or so she thought. What follows is her firsthand look behind the scenes at the gilded age of the Reagan years in Washington, DC—an era now long gone. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but always insightful, the narrative chronicles her journey to penetrate Washington society at the highest levels—from Christmas Eve at her family home with President Reagan dressed as Santa Claus, to intimate dinners at the White House. But behind the golden gates, Pam's marriage is unraveling, and her father's high-profile political scandal threatens to destroy their carefully constructed life. Soon, she's trading in glitzy state dinners for congressional hearings attacking her father, and at the center of the Reagan revolution, Pam's own personal uprising begins.
