In this new edition of Janet Lewis’s classic short novel, The Wife of Martin Guerre, Swallow Press executive editor Kevin Haworth writes that Lewis’s story is “a short novel of astonishing depth and resonance, a sharply drawn historical tale that asks contemporary questions about identity and belonging, about men and women, and about an individual’s capacity to act within an inflexible system.” Originally published in 1941, The Wife of Martin Guerre has earned the respect and admiration of critics and readers for over sixty years.
Based on a notorious trial in sixteenth-century France, this story of Bertrande de Rols is the first of three novels making up Lewis’s Cases of Circumstantial Evidence suite (the other two are The Trial of S?ren Qvist and The Ghost of Monsieur Scarron).
Swallow Press is delighted and honored to offer readers beautiful new editions of all three Cases of Circumstantial Evidence novels, each featuring a new introduction by Kevin Haworth.

Описание: In Phoebe Apperson Hearst: A Life in Power and Politics, Alexandra M. Nickliss offers the first biography of one of the Gilded Age’s most prominent and powerful women. A financial manager, businesswoman, and reformer, Phoebe Apperson Hearst was one of the wealthiest and most influential women of the era and a philanthropist, almost without rival, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Hearst was born into a humble middle-class family in rural Missouri in 1842; she died a member of society’s urban elite in 1919. Most people know her as the mother of William Randolph Hearst, the famed newspaper mogul, and as the wife of George Hearst, a mining tycoon and U.S. senator. By age forty-eight, however, after her husband’s death, Hearst had come to control the family’s extravagant estate, demonstrating intelligence and skill as a financial manager. Supporting urban reforms in the Bay Area, across the country, and around the world, Hearst gave much of her wealth to organizations supporting children, health reform, women’s rights, higher education, municipal policy formation, and urban architecture and design. She worked to exert her ideas and implement plans regarding the burgeoning Progressive movement and held many prominent positions, including as first woman regent of the University of California.Phoebe Apperson Hearst tells the story of Hearst’s world and examines the opportunities and challenges she faced as she navigated local, national, and international corridors of influence, rendering a penetrating portrait of a fascinating and often contradictory woman.
Автор: Jacqueline Alio Название: Women of Sicily: Saints, Queens and Rebels ISBN: 0991588606 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780991588602 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 39970.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание:
Rarely have women found their place in the chronicles of Sicily's thirty-century history. Here one of Sicily's most popular historians introduces seventeen women of varied backgrounds who defied convention to make their mark in the annals of the complex history of the world's most conquered island.
Meet a timeless sisterhood of pious Roman maidens, steadfast Sicilian queens, and a Jewish mother who confronted the horrors of the Inquisition. Theirs are inspiring stories of the courage of conviction bursting forth to overcome the challenges of adversity. The lengthier ten biographies constitute full chapters, while seven are concise sketches of a few paragraphs each.
In addition to these profiles - most of these women lived before 1500 - the author presents a general survey and chronology of Sicilian history. Significantly, the book treats Sicily as the sovereign nation most of these women knew, and not as a 'region' of the unified Italy or a tiny piece of Europe. The chronology (timeline) reaches into the present century, and there's an appendix dedicated to Sicilian women today.
Until now, biographies of Sicilian women written in English (as the original language) have been the work of foreign authors. This one is a milestone, the first book about the historical women of Sicily written in English by a Sicilian woman in Sicily. It reflects a special passion and an astute understanding of its subject.
Some of the information is the result of original (scholarly) research, and a few facts were garnered from unique sources. The chapter on Queen Maria Sophia of the Two Sicilies, who died in 1925, is the lengthiest treatment of her ever published in English, and it was based in part on an unpublished interview with somebody who knew the Queen, namely her niece, the late Princess Urraca. Living links of this kind are precious in historical writing.
While the concise overview of the status of women in twenty-first century Sicily is provided merely for the benefit of readers who wish to compare the past and present, the pages dedicated to that topic are a rare occurrence in book publishing, especially in English. Here the author's statements are based on facts and statistics rather than anecdotes or stereotypes. It is clear that she knows her subject.
With its chronology and reading list, this volume is useful as a reference, but its narrative makes for an interesting read.
Jackie Alio is an insightful author, one of Sicily's most talented historians, and this book was long overdue.

With this first scholarly biography of Anna Howard Shaw (1847-1919), Trisha Franzen sheds new light on an important woman suffrage leader who has too often been overlooked and misunderstood.
An immigrant from a poor family, Shaw grew up in an economic reality that encouraged the adoption of non-traditional gender roles. Challenging traditional gender boundaries throughout her life, she put herself through college, worked as an ordained minister and a doctor, and built a tightly-knit family with her secretary and longtime companion Lucy E. Anthony.
Drawing on unprecedented research, Franzen shows how these circumstances and choices both impacted Shaw's role in the woman suffrage movement and set her apart from her native-born, middle- and upper-class colleagues. Franzen also rehabilitates Shaw's years as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, arguing that Shaw's much-belittled tenure actually marked a renaissance of both NAWSA and the suffrage movement as a whole.
Anna Howard Shaw: The Work of Woman Suffrage presents a clear and compelling portrait of a woman whose significance has too long been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

Автор: Agata Araszkiewicz Название: La revolution oubliee: L`emergence d`une ecriture feminine polonaise dans l`entre-deux-guerres ISBN: 3631634471 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631634479 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 59530.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Aniela Gruszecka, Irena Krzywicka, Wanda Melcer, Pola Gojawiczynska... Voici les noms des femmes inconnues en France et peu connues en Pologne, les noms « a l’accent », a la sonorite exotique. Le travail d’Agata Araszkiewicz montre que ces femmes-ecrivaines de l’entre-deux-guerres sont les precurseurs de l’ecriture feminine. Leur ecriture tant sous-estimee represente en fait la place de l’imaginaire feminin veritablement revolutionnaire. Il s’agit la d’interroger le cadre de notre modernite, mais aussi, de savoir si on peut avoir du plaisir a frequenter ces textes des femmes. (Professeur Agnieszka Grudzinska, Les Etudes Slaves, Sorbonne Paris IV (France)) Araszkiewicz amene une nouvelle perspective sur l’uvre des femmes-ecrivaines en Pologne. Son travail est base sur l’acquis de la critique litteraire aussi bien francaise, sous le signe de « l’ecriture feminine » (H.Cixous, L.Irigaray, J.Kristeva), qu’outre-Atlantique (S. Gilbert, S. Gubar, N. K. Miller, E. Showalter). L’auteure analyse les relations entre le discours de l’emancipation et l’esthetique du roman, la signification des themes homosexuels ou encore les questions du langage et de la textualite du corps. Elle propose des interpretations creatives de textes, expliquant leur absence du canon litteraire officiel et les raisons du denigrement de la valeur esthetique des uvres des femmes qu’on « ne savait pas lire ».

Описание: The book is many things. It is emotionally rendered; it is incisive and causes a great deal of discomfort. It also creates a sense of shock and deep anger and even doubt. Possibly this is all for the good because it creates a much-needed conversation. IOL. Khwezi is about restoring to Kuzwayo what was taken from her over a decade ago: her name, her identity, and her lifea sobering read from any number of perspectives. Rebecca Davis, Daily Maverick. Khwezi is a searing account of one womans life and death and how the alleged rape affected her, her family and friends. The Gremlin. This is a tragic story that is told with an empathy that does not white wash even Fezekiles fault lines. Spotlight Africa. A must-read for every South African man and woman. Writers Write A compassionate and moving epilogue to Kuzwayos life, a welcome spotlighting of the horrors facing South African women such as Kuzwayo, and the beginnings of some truth-telling about ANC life in exile.
