Sinopsis

In "The Life-Story of Charlotte de la Trémoille, Countess of Derby," Mary C. Rowsell masterfully weaves the compelling narrative of a historically significant yet often overlooked female figure of the 17th century. The book employs a rich, descriptive style that immerses the reader in the intricacies of Charlotte's life, from her noble lineage to her political and social engagements amidst the tumult of the English Civil War. Rowsell's meticulous research and deft narrative techniques contextualize the Countess's experiences within the larger tapestry of her era, shedding light on the complexities of gender, power, and resilience in an age dominated by patriarchal norms. Mary C. Rowsell, a dedicated historian and scholar, draws from her extensive research into female agency within historical contexts, which has been deeply influenced by her previous studies on aristocratic women's roles in early modern England. Her fascination with Charlotte's unique position, navigating the turbulent waters of court intrigues and personal loss, has inspired this biography, offering a window into the struggles and triumphs of women at the margins of historical narratives. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in women's history, biography, and the sociopolitical dynamics of 17th-century England. Rowsell's insightful analysis not only provides an engaging portrait of Charlotte but also encourages readers to reconsider the contributions of women in shaping history. Delve into this captivating life story that blends scholarship with riveting storytelling.

    Mothercare - On Obligation Love...

    Brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. 
     
     
     
    Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children—an eleven-year process through which her mother underwent many surgeries and some misdiagnoses, while the family navigated consultations and confrontations with doctors, adjusting to the complexity of her cognitive issues, including memory loss. 
     
     
     
    With her notoriously exquisite writing style and reputation as a "rich noticer of strange things" (Colm Toíbín), Tillman describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and frustrating years of caring for a sick parent. 
     
     
     
    Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.

    Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world.  
     
    He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic.  
     
    Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor’s Journey to Broadway’s Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s inspiring story. As an autistic and legally blind person, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of  
    doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the  
    play Amadeus, cocreated the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph.  
     
    Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he  
    shows all people—autistic and nonautistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.
