Sinossi

With a unifying perspective on the feminist movement, 'Equal Suffrage in Australia' is an indispensable work that chronicles the evolution of women's voting rights down under. Rendered in compelling prose, it narrates the stirring history and the dogged efforts of advocates for gender equality. This meticulously curated collection, presented by Various, is a significant contribution to feminist literature, elucidating the political and social context of Australia's progression towards equal suffrage. The literary style balances historical detail with socio-political analysis, immersing readers in the texture of the times and the fervor of the movement, while the republishing efforts of DigiCat Publishing afford it continuity and relevance in contemporary discourse.

The authors, under the designation 'Various', are presumably a collective of historians, activists, and scholars dedicated to the documentation and dissemination of this pivotal element of feminist history. Their combined efforts echo the cooperative spirit of the suffrage movement itself. The catalyst for such a work likely stems from a desire to preserve the narrative of struggle and triumph in the face of societal structures that have long resisted change, and to inspire ongoing advocacy for gender parity across the globe.

For students of history, social science enthusiasts, and champions of human rights, 'Equal Suffrage in Australia' is a treasure trove of inspiration and knowledge. It is recommended not only as a testament to Australia's role in a global reform but also as an enduring reminder of the power of collective action and the importance of safeguarding equality. The book reverberates with the voices of those who paved the path for future generations, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of human progress toward a more just society.

Have You Done Your Best?...

Booker T. Washington

Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.HAVE YOU DONE YOUR BEST?: If you have not already done so-and I hope you have-I think that you will find this a convenient season for each one of you to stop and to consider your school-year very carefully; to consider your life in school from every point of view; to place yourselves, as it were, in the presence of your parents, or your friends at home; to place yourselves in the presence of those who stand by and support this institution; to place yourselves in the presence of your teachers and of all who are in any way interested in you.

The Bostonians

Henry James

Henry James’s tragicomic masterpiece pits a headstrong Mississippi lawyer against his feminist cousin in a no-holds-barred fight for the heart of an impressionable young suffragette  When Basil Ransom, a headstrong Mississippi lawyer, comes to Boston to call on his wealthy activist cousin, Olive, an epic battle of wills ensues. Basil is a conservative of the most ardent type while Cousin Olive is steadfast in her radicalism. Perhaps for a laugh, perhaps for a story to tell his lawyer friends back in Mississippi, Basil accompanies Olive to a women’s emancipation rally, whereupon he falls irrevocably in love with a young suffragette, Miss Verena Tarrant, and sets about trying to rewrite her beliefs. The problem is that Olive has been grooming Miss Tarrant as her protégé. Will Basil reform the lovely young activist orator, or will Olive win the young woman’s heart and mind?   Often proclaimed James’s funniest novel and regarded as his most successful political work, The Bostonians deals with love and friendship in the awkward landscape of shifting social roles, feminism in post–Civil War America, and a woman’s place in this brave new world. Funny, astute, and merciless, The Bostonians is one of James’s most successful portrayals of a world teetering between old values and the relentless march of social progress.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Shoes of Fortune The (Unabridged)

Hans Christian Andersen

Every author has some peculiarity in his descriptions or in his style of writing. Those who do not like him, magnify it, shrug up their shoulders, and exclaim--there he is again! I, for my part, know very well how I can bring about this movement and this exclamation. It would happen immediately if I were to begin here, as I intended to do, with: "Rome has its Corso, Naples its Toledo" - "Ah! that Andersen; there he is again!" they would cry; yet I must, to please my fancy, continue quite quietly, and add: "But Copenhagen has its East Street."

One of Ours

Willa Cather

When the United States finally enters the war raging in Europe, Claude makes the first, and greatest, decision of his life: He answers the call. Based on the experiences of Willa Cather’s cousin—G. P. Cather received the Distinguished Service Cross and the Silver Star for bravery in World War I—and interviews she conducted with wounded veterans, One of Ours is the indelible portrait of a man—and a nation—on the cusp of profound and irreversible change. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
