    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.

    Ancient Mythologies invites readers into the epic tales, divine dramas, and timeless wisdom of three powerful ancient traditions. This 3-in-1 collection explores the fascinating mythological worlds of Egyptian Mythology, The Greek Pantheon, and The Gods of the Nile—offering a rich tapestry of creation stories, epic battles, moral lessons, and supernatural beings that have shaped cultures for thousands of years. 
    In Egyptian Mythology, readers will encounter gods who ruled over life and death, the afterlife, and the forces of nature. From Ra the sun god to Osiris, Isis, and Anubis, these myths reveal how the ancient Egyptians understood the cosmos, kingship, and the journey of the soul. The Greek Pantheon then brings to life the iconic gods and heroes of Olympus—Zeus, Athena, Hades, and more—whose rivalries, romances, and feats continue to influence literature, psychology, and popular culture to this day. 
    Lastly, The Gods of the Nile offers a closer look at the regional deities of ancient Egypt and the spiritual significance of the Nile River itself. These myths emphasize the connection between nature and divinity, the cyclical rhythm of life, and the sacred role of water in sustaining civilization. Together, these three volumes weave a spellbinding journey through the beliefs, stories, and legacies of ancient peoples who sought to explain the mysteries of the universe through myth.
