Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the vast expanse of the American frontier, women were more than just pioneers; they were the heart and soul of a new nation. Faced with uncharted territories, unforgiving wilderness, and countless challenges, these women forged a path that would shape the destiny of a country.

This book is their story, told through their own words and experiences. It is a testament to their courage, resilience, and unwavering determination. From the first European settlers to the pioneers who pushed westward in search of a new life, women played an integral role in shaping the American frontier.

They were wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters, but they were also explorers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. They homesteaded on the Great Plains, crossed the country in covered wagons, and fought for their rights in the face of discrimination. They endured unimaginable hardship and loss, but they also found love and happiness in the wilderness.

This book delves into the diverse experiences of women on the frontier, shedding light on their multifaceted contributions to society. From their roles in healthcare, education, and politics to their impact on art, literature, and culture, these women left an indelible mark on the nation's history.

Their stories are a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human soul. They are a reminder that even in the most challenging of circumstances, courage, resilience, and determination can prevail. This book is a tribute to the women of the American frontier, whose legacy continues to inspire generations to come.

Join us on this journey through time as we explore the remarkable lives of these pioneering women. Their stories will captivate you, inspire you, and remind you of the resilience of the human spirit.

Song of Solomon - The World...

Various Authors

The Song of Songs, also called the Canticle of Canticles or the Song of Solomon, is an erotic poem that is one of the megillot (scrolls) found in the last section of the Tanakh, known as the Ketuvim (or "Writings"). It is unique within the Hebrew Bible: it shows no interest in Law or Covenant or the God of Israel, nor does it teach or explore wisdom like Proverbs or Ecclesiastes (although it does have some affinities to wisdom literature, as the ascription to the 10th century BCE King of Israel Solomon indicates); instead, it celebrates sexual love, giving "the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy".
