Описание: As the oldest and favorite daughter of Thomas Jefferson, Martha "Patsy" Jefferson Randolph (1772-1836) was extremely well educated, traveled in the circles of presidents and aristocrats, and was known on two continents for her particular grace and sincerity. Yet, as mistress of a large household, she was not spared the tedium, frustration, and great sorrow that most women of her time faced. Though Patsy's name is familiar because of her famous father, Cynthia Kierner is the first historian to place Patsy at the center of her own story, taking readers into the largely ignored private spaces of the founding era. Randolph's life story reveals the privileges and limits of celebrity and shows that women were able to venture beyond their domestic roles in surprising ways.Following her mother's death, Patsy lived in Paris with her father and later served as hostess at the President's House and at Monticello. Her marriage to Thomas Mann Randolph, a member of Congress and governor of Virginia, was often troubled. She and her eleven children lived mostly at Monticello, greeting famous guests and debating issues ranging from a woman's place to slavery, religion, and democracy. And later, after her family's financial ruin, Patsy became a fixture in Washington society during Andrew Jackson's presidency. In this extraordinary biography, Kierner offers a unique look at American history from the perspective of this intelligent, tactfully assertive woman.
Описание: The Women's War is the gripping true story of a Danish female soldier's tours to the Helmand Province in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2009. There she comes into contact with the Afghan women who are fighting against oppression, domestic violence and the horror regime of the Taliban, and together they initiate a covert collaboration. The women receive the necessary aid to establish dressmaking rooms, beauty salons, chicken farms and other projects while being aware of the fact that the international military forces are their only chance to get rid of the Taliban.
The Women's War emerged out of the friendships built by a soldier with Afghan women who helped the international military forces in unexpected ways. It is a book by a woman in the armed forces about what war does to women, about the looming risk of taking chances in wartime and about grief over fallen friends, but more importantly, it is about how women in one instance found the will to not only survive but to make something out of the terrible conditions that war brings.

Описание: That Little Girl has a Mind of her Own is a memoir about the adventures of a spirited young lass, just three generations from the Emerald Isle, growing up in a small village in Upstate New York, in the 1950's. The book is a series of vignettes that share with the reader the trials and tribulations, the heartbreak and disappointments, and the triumphs of a young, precocious child as she confronts life's challenges. The story travels on a timeline beginning in the early 1900's and follows the family from the coal mines of Pennsylvania to the tiny village of Watkins Glen, New York. The story meanders through three generations of culture and customs, food and family and many a bump along the way. Hopefully, this book will enlighten the young among us about how life use to be. Generations who remember nothing about gathering around a giant box of a radio after dinner or running after the ice truck on a hot summer day, or of milk being delivered by a wagon drawn by a real live horse, or hours spent rocking on your grandmother's lap on her front porch. And for those readers who do remember, well that's what I am hoping for. I am hoping that this book will bring back memories of your childhood and the way things used to be
