History of the United States

Charles A. Beard, Mary R. Beard

Sinopsis

"History of the United States" is a monumental synthesis of American History subsequently produced by Charles A. Beard and his wife, Mary R. Beard. This book covers a period of more than 350 years, from the beginning of American Colonization to the establishment of The League of Nations in 1920.  Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948) was, with Frederick Jackson Turner, one of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century. For a while he was a history professor at Columbia University but his influence came from hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His works included a radical re-evaluation of the founding fathers of the United States, who he believed were motivated more by economics than by philosophical principles.  Mary Ritter Beard (1876-1958) was an American historian and archivist, who played an important role in the women's suffrage movement and was a lifelong advocate of social justice through educational and activist roles in both the labor and woman's rights movements.

My First Thirty Years - A Memoir

Gertrude Beasley, Marie Bennett,...

Shortly after its 1925 publication, Gertrude Beasley's ferociously eloquent feminist memoir was banned and she herself disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Though British Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell called My First Thirty Years "truthful, which is illegal" and Larry McMurtry pronounced it the finest Texas book of its era, Beasley's words have been all but inaccessible for almost a century—until now. 
 
Beasley penned one of the most brutally honest coming-of-age historical memoirs, one which strips away romantic notions about frontier women's lives at the turn of the twentieth century. With characteristic ferocity, Beasley rejected a life of dependence, persisting in her studies and becoming first a teacher, then a principal, then a college instructor, and finally a foreign correspondent. 
 
Along the way, Beasley becomes a strident activist for women's rights, socialism, and sex education. She is undaunted by authority figures but secretly ashamed of her origins and yearns to be loved. My First Thirty Years is profoundly human and shockingly candid, a rallying cry that cost its author her career and her freedom. 
 
Her story deserves to be heard. 
 
Contains mature themes.

Royal Tragedy Revisited -...

John Harpoon

The princess’s life was often depicted as the epitome of grace, beauty, and elegance—a life that many admired and envied. However, this public image was a carefully constructed facade, a persona meticulously curated by the royal family, the media, and society at large. On the surface, she was the picture of royal perfection, embodying the ideals of a fairytale life. Her beauty was celebrated, her marriage deemed a fairy tale, and her charitable works held up as the epitome of selflessness. She was portrayed as the perfect princess, a symbol of hope and positivity. 
Yet beneath this seemingly flawless exterior, there was much more than met the eye. The princess’s early life was not as picture-perfect as many would have liked to believe. Raised within the confines of an institution that placed duty above all else, she was groomed to be a public figure from a young age. However, the pressure to maintain a flawless image often conflicted with her own personal desires and struggles. Growing up under the weight of royal expectations, she was never truly allowed the freedom to be herself. Her every move was scrutinized, and her decisions often made with the fear of disappointing those around her. 
As she entered adulthood, the weight of public adoration and media attention only intensified. The princess was constantly under the microscope, her life a matter of public interest. Every wardrobe choice, every relationship, and every gesture was analyzed and dissected by the media. Her image became a commodity, one that was shaped not just by herself, but by those who profited from her persona. She became a symbol not just of royalty, but of the ideal woman—a figure to be admired, imitated, and adored.
