Summary

Women Literature Gains examines how women writers have historically navigated and transformed the literary world, a space often dominated by men. It explores the social and historical contexts that either propelled or hindered women's access to literature, highlighting the systemic inequalities they faced. For instance, women writers often had to challenge established literary traditions to create space for their own voices. The book argues that the increased visibility of women in literature reflects not just individual talent, but also broader socio-political changes and the collective efforts of women writers, critics, and readers.

 
The book progresses from the historical exclusion of women to their strategic efforts to gain recognition. It analyzes how women writers redefined literary canons and built supportive networks through literary salons and feminist presses. Also, it investigates how their writings engaged with social and political movements, advocating for gender equality.

 
By drawing on archival research, literary analysis, and biographical studies, Women Literature Gains provides a nuanced understanding of the interplay between gender, power, and literary production, enriching our understanding of social history and gender studies.

This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. 
    Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Virginia is not a classical memoir work from the Civil War. Author did not want to write exclusively about his experience in the war, even though he drew on his time in the army for several chapters. Instead, he wanted to underscore the importance of common Confederate soldiers within Lost Cause memory.The Lost Cause of the Confederacy is an ideological assertion made by many Confederate veterans which claimed that the cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was just, heroic, and not centered on slavery.

    We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, lack of self-discipline and polarization. Just look at what happened in recent events at the White House! Other examples are the Covid Tanker blockade, destructive rioting in cities, hospitals coming under siege, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.... all were and are avoidable. 
    Staple Society results from succeeding constructive and protective concepts meeting obligations which generally follow traditions aimed at accepted common responsibilities. 
    Rob Howat discusses and explores these social building blocks in these four books with facts and examples. He shows that for society and the law to work responsibilities must be fulfilled before meaningful rights can follow. He suggests the ongoing need for calm discussion, research and reviews, an aim for balance, and well-understood and universally agreed 'ground rules' for educational pursuits. 
    The best time to open calm discussions with a goal to start building change is now, using constructive philosophy, logic, and religious proven wisdom. This set of books will greatly simplify and assist in building that deeper informed debate.

    A compact and charming history of the beloved handcrafted font by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
     
     
     
    Albertus, first carved on a bronze tablet in the 1930s by German Jewish refugee Berthold Wolpe, has proved to be one of the most enduring handcrafted typefaces in the world. It is at once modern and timeless, authoritative and whimsical—renowned as the typeface of London Street signs, David Bowie albums, and Star Wars movie posters. In this unique celebration, bestselling author Simon Garfield charts the story of the creation of Albertus, its innumerable and vibrant uses, and the erratic brilliance of its designer, as recounted by Wolpe's children. Through his exploration of this singular font, Garfield grapples with one of the most fundamental artistic questions: what makes great art not only survive but flourish in each new age and medium?

    The profoundly moving story of a son's quest to uncover his father's Holocaust secret. 
     
    To the outside world, Henry Bernard was a hard-working and beloved family doctor on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Yet he was also a Holocaust survivor whose life was profoundly affected by the experiences of his past. He took extreme steps for his family's security, keeping a rifle near his bedroom and covering up his family's Jewish origin. He was obsessed with paying off debt - the German word for debt being the same as the word for 'guilt'. He kept his striped Auschwitz uniform with a picture of his mother in his wardrobe. These obsessions helped destroy his marriage and restricted any hope he had of conventional domestic happiness. 
     
    But Henry had a bigger secret and a deeper shame about what he had done during the war. He suffered privately until he began returning to Germany and Poland to confront his past and come to terms with the deaths of his parents and of Halina, the love of his life. 
     
    The Ghost Tattoo is the story of how Tony Bernard, Henry's eldest son, went on a forty-year journey with his father to solve the mystery of why Henry was the way he was, and how he finally came to understand the desperate choices Henry had made in the ghetto to try to keep himself and his family alive.
