  25 Million Sparks takes readers inside the Za’atari refugee camp to follow the stories of three courageous Syrian women entrepreneurs: Yasmina, a wedding shop and salon owner creating moments of celebration in Za’atari; Malak, a young artist infusing color and beauty in her adoptive community; and Asma, a social entrepreneur with a storytelling initiative enriching children’s lives throughout the camp. Anchored by these three inspiring stories, as well as accompanying artwork and poetry created by Malak and Asma, the narrative expands from the intimacies of Za’atari to explore the broader refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon in more than 20 camps, cities, and towns across the globe. What emerges is a tale of power, determination, and dignity – of lighting the brightest sparks of joy, even when the rest of the world sees only the darkness.

  In Bringing Home the White House, Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of presidential elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence. 
   
   
   
  In the middle decades of the twentieth century both major political parties had Women's Divisions. The leaders of these divisions—five women who held the job from 1932 until 1958—organized tens of thousands of women all over the country, turning them into the "saleswomen for the party" by providing them with talking points, fliers, and other material they needed to strike up political conversations with their friends and neighbors. The leaders of the Women's Divisions also produced a huge portion of the media used by the campaigns—over 90 percent of all print material in the 1930s—and were close advisors of the presidents of both parties. 
   
   
   
  In spite of their importance, these women and their work have been left out of the narratives of midcentury America. In telling the story of these women, Blair reveals the ways that women were central to American politics from the depths of the Great Depression to the height of the Cold War.
