Esther Clayson Pohl Lovejoy, whose long life stretched from 1869 to 1967, challenged convention from the time she was a young girl. Her professional life began as one of Oregon's earliest women physicians, and her commitment to public health and medical relief took her into the international arena, where she was chair of the American Women's Hospitals after World War I and the first president of the Medical Women's International Association. Most disease, suffering, and death, she believed, were the result of wars and social and economic inequities, and she was determined to combat those conditions through organized action.
Lovejoy's early life and career in the Pacific Northwest gave her key experiences and strategies to use for what she termed "constructive resistance," the ability to take effective action against unjust power. She took a political and pragmatic approach to what she called "woman's big job"-achieving a full female citizenship-and emphasized the importance of votes for women. In this engaging biography, Kimberly Jensen tells the story of this important western woman, exploring her approach to politics, health, and society and her civic, economic, and medical activism.

Описание: A teenage girl missing for twenty years returns home, looking the same age as when she left. A strange, ghostly glimpse into the life of sixteen year old Caley Littledove, who mysteriously returns to her parent's home one morning after two decades, having not aged a single day. Caley's account is a fascinating detour into the twilight of human history, as she struggles to come to grips with the impossible, and the inexplicable loss of twenty years come and gone. A prisoner of a world slipped forward in time, Caley is haunted by the life of her adopted sister Angela Tao, who was raised in upper class family violence and secret tragedy. Caley's dark, uncompromising voice is heavy laden with latter day grief and revelation, and the apocalyptic shock of her unexplainable trip through time. Through the tragic life her older sister lived (who was her younger sister twenty years before) Caley is forced to confront the truth of the modern mother daughter dynamic uncovered, and the depravities that lay hidden behind the privileged walls of cultured civility.

A strange, apocalyptic glimpse at the end of the age, as seen through the lives of Laura Atwood and her daughter Venicia, a girl born with a unique, grand scale telekinetic ability.

Fed up with the phoniness and materialism of suburban life, Laura moves from the suburbs to the outskirts of Topeka, Kansas, to a small farmhouse on the open prairie. In their isolated house on the plains, Laura discovers her daughter's terrifying telekinetic ability, and is powerless to stop her from affecting the world in a disastrous and devastating manner. In a voice replete with dark revelation, Laura provides a disturbing look at a mother's secret, at the heart of the modern mother daughter dynamic uncovered, while dealing with her daughter's otherworldly power, and her growing ability to cause end of the world cataclysm.

Описание: Two female vampires crave the blood of innocent young girls and women. A deeply disturbing glimpse at the darkest side of humanity, as told through the lives of Iris and Anya Greenwood, two women who live as a prosperous suburban married couple. Iris is the portrait of a woman tortured by dark instinct, held prisoner by a private lust and craving for the unspeakable. Hidden in a wealthy suburb of Richmond, Virginia, Iris and Anya have accepted the fullness of who they are, and the terrifying acts they must perform in secret to survive. Burdened by generations of darkness and hidden depravity, Iris uncovers the depths of human evil exposed, and the reality of a natural, apocalyptic bloodlust passed down from mother to daughter. The Greenwood revelation is the truth of human hypocrisy unmasked, and the deadly corruption that often lurks unseen behind the walls of privilege, and behind the smiling faces of cultured civility.
