Busting the Brass Ceiling - How...

Fanchon Blake, Linden Gross

A policewoman chronicles her historic legal battle against sexism within the LAPD in this “valuable . . . and at times, frightening” memoir (Kirkus Reviews). Former Army major Fanchon Blake dreamed of becoming a top cop. She joined the LAPD in 1948, confident that her efforts and talent would be rewarded. Instead, despite long hours and high achievement ratings, Blake—like all other women on the force—was denied promotion time and again. Over the years, the tenacious officer challenged the LAPD’s discriminatory agenda from within. Eventually, she broke the “blue wall of silence” by going to the press. And when all else failed, Blake saw one last chance to effect change: she filed a complaint against the LAPD with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 1973. What followed was a harrowing struggle against discrimination that would make history for women and other minority groups. Despite the ensuing verbal abuse, silent treatment, and intimidation, Blake pushed on. Seven years later, her heroic efforts would finally make it possible for women to bust through the brass ceiling.

Archer Vale

“The more time you spend around me, the deeper you’ll sink. I know you can already feel it. You’re becoming loyal.” 
I was at the gym when it first happened. Ty started flexing his muscles, and it was like my brain completely switched off. 
He made me feel his biceps. He made me smell his body. I started to feel so weak… 
Now, I’m bound atop his bed. His sapphire-blue eyes glitter as he places his powerful hands on my tiny frame. I spent all day doing his homework for him, and this is my reward for being an obedient boy. 
“It’s time for your first milking session. You’ll like it—I promise.” 
My eyes glaze over as he speaks. 
I’m ready.

The Glory and the Sorrow - A...

Timothy Tackett

What was it like to live through one of the most transformational periods in world history? In The Glory and the Sorrow, eminent historian Timothy Tackett answers this question through a masterful recreation of the world of Adrien Colson, a minor lawyer who lived in Paris at the end of the Old Regime and during the first eight years of the French Revolution. 
 
 
 
Based on over a thousand letters written by Colson, this book vividly narrates everyday life for an "ordinary citizen" during extraordinary times, as well as the life of a neighborhood on a small street in central Paris. It explores the real, day-to-day experience of a revolution: not only the thrill, the joy, and the enthusiasm, but also the uncertainty, the confusion, the anxiety, and the disappointments. While Colson reported on major events such as the storming of the Bastille and the King's flight to Varennes, his correspondence underscores the extent to which the great majority of Parisians in no way anticipated the Revolution; the incessant circulation and power of rumors of impending disasters in Paris, not just in the summer of 1789 but continually throughout the Revolutionary decade; and how this affected popular psychology and behavior. 
 
 
 
An evocative account of Colson's time and place, The Glory and the Sorrow is a compelling microhistory of Revolutionary France.
