Synopsis

In "80 Years and More," Elizabeth Cady Stanton presents a remarkable autobiographical account that intricately weaves personal narrative with historical commentary, spanning her lifetime from the early 19th century through the dawn of the suffrage movement. Written in a candid, reflective style, Stanton's work provides a gripping portrayal of the socio-political landscape of her era, detailing her struggles and triumphs in the fight for women's rights. Rich with vignettes that highlight pivotal moments in her activism, the book serves as both a personal testament and a broader feminist manifesto, inviting readers to engage with the principles of equality and justice that were still nascent during her lifetime. Stanton, a leading figure in the women's suffrage movement and a co-organizer of the Seneca Falls Convention, draws on her own formative experiences—having been raised in a society that largely marginalized women's voices—to fuel her advocacy for social reform. Her exposure to the limitations placed upon women ignited her passion and perseverance, inspiring her to document her journey in a way that would empower future generations and ensure that the sacrifices of her contemporaries would not be forgotten. "80 Years and More" is not just a memoir; it is a call to action that resonates to this day. Readers interested in feminist history, social justice, or the evolution of human rights will find Stanton's insights invaluable. This book is a compelling exploration of resilience that not only illuminates a pivotal moment in her life but also serves as a guiding light for those who continue to champion equality.

    The day I found Ben swinging from the chandelier, I knew two things - being his mom was going to be a wild ride, and if I ever decided to write a book about it, I had my title. This book started as a way to cope, a reminder to breathe as I raised three boys, including Ben, who was diagnosed with autism at age 2. It tells our story - from experiencing the complex emotions of fear and guilt at hearing the diagnosis, to fighting tooth-and-nail with the school district to get Ben the services he needed. Our journey isn't over yet, but my once-nonverbal, illiterate son is now a public speaker. And this is the story of how - against all odds - he learned to read and write, learned to drive, and eventually got a job. It's the story of how he was voted homecoming king by his high school of 3,000, and how he continued to exceed all our expectations for him. 
I have been working on this book for over 10 years. When I first started, it was a way for me to document events, feelings, successes, and missteps while raising our son, Ben, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age two. Over time, I realized that the stories of other parents helped me on my own journey, so I hoped my book might do the same for someone else.

Revealed in these pages are the amazing details of the heists, the double crossings, the shoot-outs and the betrayals that accompanied life as a career criminal when the streets were controlled by fear. Exposed are the audacious plans behind the century's most famous crimes, the damning evidence of police corruption and the eye-opening events that gave Freddie this most revered reputation.Narrated for you by his own godson, Nick Reynolds.
