  There is no lack of talented women in the Catholic literary tradition. Yet these brilliant writers are often unfamiliar to today’s readers, or, if widely read, their Catholic identity is unrecognized. This collection introduces a dozen Catholic women novelists from the past two hundred years, presenting their fascinating lives, spiritual biographies, and sacramental vision in essays by twelve Catholic scholars and writers.   Edited by Haley Stewart and with a conclusion by best-selling author Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera, Women of the Catholic Imagination encourages the expansion of the Catholic literary canon by bringing these inspired writers back into the spotlight, laying the foundation for the reader’s discovery (or rediscovery) of their masterful works.

  A Rare Recording of Iva Toguri...

  "Tokyo Rose" Iva Toguri

  The following are live recordings of Japanese-American Iva Toguri, of "Tokyo Rose" infamy. Tokyo Rose was a generic name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to all female English-speaking radio broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. In fact, the name "Tokyo Rose" was never actually used by any Japanese broadcaster, but rather first appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1943 in the context of these radio programs. Toguri had traveled to Japan to tend to a sick aunt just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Unable to leave the country when war began with the United States, unable to stay with her aunt's family as an American citizen, and unable to receive any aid from her parents who were placed in internment camps in Arizona, Toguri eventually accepted a job as a part-time typist at Radio Tokyo. She was quickly recruited as a broadcaster for the propagandist program The Zero Hour, under the moniker, Orphan Ann. The name Tokyo Rose ceased to be merely a symbol, however, during September 1945 when Toguri attempted to return to the United States. Toguri was arrested and imprisoned for a year in Japan by American authorities. She was subsequently freed, then arrested again two years later. After being returned to the US, Toguri was tried and convicted of one count of treason, in a trial fraught with integrity issues and dubious testimony. Toguri was eventually paroled from prison in 1956, and finally received a pardon from President Gerald Ford in 1977.

  This vital book leads us beyond today's crisis—and conflict-prone world to a higher stage of our evolution. We have reached a historic turning point—a "point of bifurcation"—at which we must find new ways to upshift our individual and collective consciousness to ensure the desired resolution of these crises. 
   
   
   
  Ervin Laszlo and David Lorimer, drawing on their holistic expertise and global network, have assembled a stellar cast of contributors who decode the big picture to offer exactly what we need now. The world-renowned scientists and visionaries who contribute to this book illuminate where are we today and where we can go from here. They focus on the most burning question of all: how can we upshift ourselves—our ways of healing, of thinking and feeling, and even of intuiting—to respond to the pressing requirements of our time? 
   
   
   
  Their visions empower us to "be the change" we want to see in the world—to help others be a positive and critical part of the great upshift that has already started. This will be our salvation. This compendium of insights into solutions for our world troubled by climate change, conflict, and unsustainable conditions calls for the conscious participation of all of us to implement the verities within.
