Sinopsis

In the annals of American literature, the voices of women poets have long been overlooked and undervalued. This book seeks to rectify that oversight by shining a light on the remarkable contributions of 19th-century American women poets.

Within these pages, you'll encounter a diverse chorus of voices that defied convention and shattered societal norms. These women, pioneers in their own right, used their poetic gifts to challenge the status quo, advocate for social change, and celebrate the unique experiences of women.

Their poetry, a tapestry of emotions and insights, explored the complexities of love, loss, and longing. It painted vivid portraits of the American landscape, capturing the beauty of its vast wilderness and the bustling energy of its growing cities. It delved into the depths of identity, race, and class, giving voice to the marginalized and challenging prevailing social norms.

These women poets were not merely chroniclers of their time; they were agents of change. They used their words to champion the causes they held dear, from the abolition of slavery to the fight for women's suffrage. Their poetry was a powerful force for social justice, inspiring and mobilizing others to join their cause.

The legacy of these women poets is undeniable. Their words continue to resonate with readers today, offering solace, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the human condition. This book is an invitation to rediscover these extraordinary voices and celebrate their enduring impact on American literature and culture.

With its rich collection of poems and insightful commentary, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or women's studies. It is a celebration of the power of poetry to transform lives and shape history.

    A compact and charming history of the font we love to hate by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
     
     
     
    Since its improvised creation at Microsoft in the mid-1990s, Comic Sans has become one of the most used and talked-about typefaces of the digital age. The subject of April Fools pranks and endless internet discourse, it has spawned a movement to ban it, inspired revivals and spinoffs, and continues to be widely promoted by educators. In this delightful history, bestselling author Simon Garfield tells the story of how Comic Sans emerged from speech bubbles on educational software to become one of the most recognized—and reviled—typefaces on earth. He considers how the computer transformed type into something that anyone could use and have an opinion on, explores how new fonts emerge with changing times and technology, and meets die-hard Comic Sans adherents and haters. He concludes the book by asking the unimaginable: Could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?

    World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it. 
    It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come.  
    However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand’s assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world’s most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever.  
    This audiobook will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and its short- and long-term consequences. Here are some of the things you will learn about in this audiobook:  
    The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscapeGermany and Italy’s unification The state of European power politics New technological advancements that shaped the war The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI Military activities in all theaters of the war
