Sinopsis

Lives of Fair and Gallant Ladies is a two-volume work by French historian and biographer Pierre de Bourdeille dealing with women and their position in the culture and society in medieval France. Bourdeille writes in a quaint conversational way, pouring forth his thoughts, observations or facts with the greatest frankness. His works give a picture of the general court-life of the time, with its unblushing and undisguised profligacy. There is not an homme illustre or a dame galante in all his gallery of portraits who has not engaged in sexual immorality; and yet the whole is narrated with the most complete unconsciousness that there is anything objectionable in their conduct.

    This is small part of the book introduction: Welcome to the journey of discovering the remarkable life and legacy of Rosa Parks, an inspiring figure in American history and a beacon of courage and change. In this book, we delve into the compelling story of Rosa Parks, an ordinary woman who played an extraordinary role in the civil rights movement that reshaped the course of our nation. Rosa Parks' name is synonymous with the fight for justice and equality. Her actions, driven by a deep-seated belief in the inherent rights of all individuals, ignited a spark that set off a wave of change. Born in a time of stark racial segregation and inequality, Rosa's story is one of courage, defiance, and the pursuit of a better world. Through these pages, we'll uncover the key moments that defined Rosa's journey, starting from her early life in the racially divided Alabama of the 20th century. From her pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott to her involvement in the broader struggle for civil rights, we'll explore the events that shaped her path and the impact she left on society. But this book isn't just about history; it's about understanding the person behind the icon. We'll not only examine the significant events but also unravel the messages she carried and the ideals she championed. Rosa's dedication to justice and equality didn't end with her activism; it extended to her message for the youth, her vision for a just society, and her profound reflections on life itself.

    Saved By Hope by Jenny Lowe is a gripping memoir about one woman's painful path to motherhood. Born and raised in Utah, Jenny Lowe got married at the age of nineteen. The marriage ended in divorce, and at thirty years old, she married again. Emotionally and financially ready to start a family and with her biological clock ticking, the couple decides to have a child. After months of trying without success, they seek the help of fertility specialists. What follows is a series of unsuccessful attempts to conceive and the discovery that she has ovarian cancer. This book lets the reader accompany her on her emotional journey. Beginning with Chapter 4, QR codes are provided that will direct readers to photos and videos of the topics discussed to tell a story of hope and courage that will surely touch your heart. Jenny Lowe's Saved By Hope is a must-read for couples struggling to get pregnant. The author laments the fact that there is a stigma surrounding infertility, so much so that it's not a topic discussed openly. This book does a great job of creating a compassionate guide to overcoming the humiliation of infertility. With profound honesty, she relates the fear, pain, grief, and hope that springs to life, only to be taken away a few days later. The writing style is casual and informative, with visuals to make the experience more intense. The book opens with Emily Dickinson's "hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul," setting the tone for this well-written and perceptive memoir that should provide comfort to those who need it the most. Highly recommended!
