Summary

In "A Suffragette - My Own Story (Illustrated)," Emmeline Pankhurst offers a compelling and autobiographical account of her life as a stalwart leader of the women's suffrage movement in early 20th-century England. Pankhurst employs a passionate and evocative literary style, blending personal anecdotes with detailed political discourse, making her narrative both accessible and deeply moving. The book not only portrays the struggles faced by suffragettes but also situates these events within the broader context of feminist movements and social reform, shedding light on the critical intersections of gender, class, and politics of her time. Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) was a key figure in the British suffragette movement, co-founding the Women'Äôs Social and Political Union. Influenced by her own experiences and the societal constraints placed on women, Pankhurst dedicated her life to challenging these injustices. Her leadership and activism were pivotal, inspiring a generation of women to claim their rights, and her unique perspective enriches the narrative, grounding her advocacy in personal sacrifice and resilience. This illuminating account is essential for readers interested in women's history, social justice, and activism. Pankhurst'Äôs candid reflections provide not only a historical perspective but also inspiration for contemporary struggles for equality, making it a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern feminist movements.

    Life skills are those skills that enable individuals to effectively face the demands and challenges of daily life. 
Among these, critical thinking is one of the fundamental requisites for the emancipation and participation in the social life of every human being.  
 But what do we actually mean when we talk about critical thinking? Is it possible to think of building tools for the development and evaluation of critical thinking?  
The volume intends to answer these questions through theoretical and operational material. This is a hands-on book focused on developing your intelligence and critical thinking skills to make decisions. This is not an abstract story about thinking and I assure you that after reading it you will not be the same person who is reading these words.  
With the critical thinking tools and strategies that I will teach you in this book, you will learn not to be deceived by cunning techniques of argumentation, to be sane, to strive to understand and appreciate the points of view of others, to analyze the reasoning with which you do not necessarily agree and change your points of view when you are faced with a better reasoning.

    'Telling the frankly jaw-dropping story of real life Victorian strongwoman Vulcana, it held me spellbound. A master storyteller at her absolute peak.' Liz Hyder
On a winter's night in 1892, Kate Williams, the daughter of a Baptist Minister, leaves Abergavenny and sets out for London with a wild plan: she is going to become a strongwoman.
But it is not only her ambition she is chasing. William Roberts, the leader of a music hall troupe, has captured her imagination and her heart. In London, William reinvents Kate as 'Vulcana – Most Beautiful Woman on Earth', and himself 'Atlas'. Soon they are performing in Britain, France, Australia and Algiers.
But as Vulcana's star rises, Altas' fades, and Kate finds herself holding together a troupe of performers and a family. Kate is a woman driven by love – for William, her children, performing and for life. Can she find a way to be a voice for women and true to herself?
'Beautifully written, thought-provoking & a touching love story.' Tracy Rees
'All the glamour and grit of music halls. A truly empathetic portrayal of a brave, independent young woman.' Essie Fox
