![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who founded the suffrage movement at the 1848 Seneca Falls convention to Victoria Woodhull, the first female candidate for president to Sojourner Truth and her famous speech, "Ain't I a Woman?" to Alice Paul, who was arrested and force-fed in prison, Conkling combines thorough research with page-turning storytelling to bring the battle for the right to vote to vivid life. In this expansive yet personal volume, author Winifred Conkling covers not only the suffragists' achievements and politics but also the private journeys that fueled their passion and led them to become women's champions. Ratification of the 19th Amendment was the culmination of an almost eighty-year fight in which some of the fiercest, most passionate women in history marched, protested, and sometimes broke the law in to achieve this huge leap toward equal rights. On August 18, 1920, American women finally won the right to vote. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Breaking trail a climbing life![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout her course work Blum tirelessly worked for the betterment of the global community. Blum attended Reed College and eventually went on to UC Berkeley to complete her PhD. These flashes of childhood memories, that have remained locked up in a heart-shaped secret diary until now, parallel the many adventures, failures, and triumphs alike, that Blum encountered as a woman in education, adventure, and with love.Īs an academic, with a PhD in biophysical chemistry, Blum has accomplished many professional firsts. Through recollections of her past, written as forewords in each of the chapters, her story unfolds. For most of her life she was encouraged to find a nice Jewish husband and settle down into the comfortable and rewarding life of a wife and mother. Breaking Trail is a unique and insightful glimpse into the heart, mind, and soul of Arlene Blum, one of the worlds most accomplished female mountaineers.Īrlene Blum was born in the heart of the Midwest to German and Russian Jewish parents. Alongside the earlier female accounts of adventure, in Breaking Trail Blum combines the genres of memoir and adventure writing beautifully. ![]() ![]() Blum can be considered a pioneer in women’s mountaineering in line with other great women mountaineers such as Fanny Bullock Workman, Annie Peck Smith, and Isabella Bird. If ever there has been an iconic figure in the canon of womens mountaineering literature Arlene Blum is she. ![]() ![]() ![]() In so doing, he shines a light on the often hidden dimensions of the play such as the role of money in gender oppression and submission the trivial quality of dialogue lurking behind much flowery, romantic speech how, for its own entertainment, an entire social class – the bourgeoisie of the Second Empire in France – invented a diabolical machine for commercializing the female body and simultaneously promoting the moralization of sexual behavior. ![]() ![]() Arthur Nauzyciel stages Camille / La Dame aux camélias without a hint of pathos, indeed with severity, in an undefined space between Truth and Lie, Reality and Illusion. It is a story haunted by what was and what could have been. This is the story of a tragic love affair between a young bourgeois gentleman, Armand Duval and a courtesan, Marguerite Gautier, whose beauty holds him in thrall. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mrs Van Hopper’s retort that “most girls would give their eyes for a chance to see Monte”, trumped by Max’s “Wouldn’t that rather defeat the purpose?”, invites reflection on how many directors have given their eyes to work in Hollywood, only to have their personal purposes defeated. While the newly arrived director can be identified with the nameless displaced feminine protagonist, Manderley and Monte Carlo symbolise the artificiality of Hollywood. She offered to play the part of a devoted wife to deceive Max’s family and friends the film pretended to be a faithful adaptation to deceive Selznick, du Maurier, the critics, perhaps even Hitchcock himself. Rebecca, the character, is a synecdoche of Rebecca, the film. ![]() He radically departed from the mediocre source to explore those themes of unstable identity, male anxiety and sexual repression, which also permeate The 39 Steps, Strangers on a Train, Vertigo and Marnie. The critical consensus that Rebecca is a faithful adaptation stems from ignorance of the du Maurier novel and a simplistic interpretation of Hitchcock’s complex, nuanced remarks about the film’s production. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down: Real Life Strategies for Investing in Real Estate Using Other People's Money by Brandon Turner will teach you how to get into real estate investing with very little money. Most beginners think that you need a lot of capital to get into real estate investing. To help, 15 members of Forbes Real Estate Council, below, share some of the essential books people new to real estate should read in order to get a feeling for what approaches work well when investing, or gain important perspective on business operations. This means that before deciding to enter the field, you should familiarize yourself with the prevailing wisdom of the professionals already working there, as well as gain a better understanding of some of the other aspects of the industry. ![]() ![]() ![]() She is not smart, she does dumb selfish things and I do not like her. There is no connection there, it's just the author moving the plot along by dropping left-field realizations into Anita's lap. That's not valid - you can't say "Janet looked at the plant, and immediately sensed that the priest from three chapters ago had worn the wrong hat". There's nothing there, sometimes literally the author will insert the idea that Anita's picked up on some nuance that is not there. Unfortunately, I think the author thinks Anita is smart, and so I end up reading passages that are meant to show Anita getting some sort of insight, when no. ![]() She is pushy, bitchy, violent, frequently obstinate, has incredibly poor impulse control, and she does not strike me as particularly smart. ![]() ![]() This red-eyed life of bar-hopping and back-room sniffings is Jamie's protection from real-life tragedies - including Amanda, his fashion-model wife (Phoebe Cates beautiful functional) who deserted him for a French designer, and the death of his mother (Dianne Wiest functional) a year back. Jamie is already out of control when we meet him, thanks to a dangerous partnership with yup-rake Tad Allagash (a sardonic Kiefer Sutherland) who engages Jamie in regular treks to "the heart of the night" (where there are "dances to be danced, drugs to be hoovered and women to be Allagashed"). Nonetheless, Fox's trademark shtick of perpetual bewilderment (perfected in "Teen Wolf" and "Back to the Future") and engaging demeanor - and dire plight, in this case - gets through. ![]() ![]() It's hard to believe Fox-as-Jamie could even conceive of writing a book, let alone utter the caustic and witty narration he's credited with. Fox doesn't seem the ideal casting choice at first. ![]() And director James Bridges (a last-minute replacement for Joyce Chopra) infuses this Manhattan drug-recovery tale with an appropriate rush of humor, pounding dance-club music and breakneck momentum.Īs main-man Jamie Conway, a would-be author taking bleary-eyed, runny-nosed stock of himself, Michael J. Jay McInerney has adapted his cult novel "Bright Lights, Big City," a fictional requiem for the drug-snorter set, with coke- cutting perfection. ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, I’d say this wasn’t a memorable year for network TV development, certainly not compared to last year. But before I start writing and writing and writing some more about all these shows, I thought I’d do a quick run-through of my thoughts on all the new network series (other than the CW shows, which already debuted, and “Outlaw,” which I reviewed yesterday), some of which will be reused and/or expanded upon in longer reviews next week. In some cases, I may have to skip shows altogether if I have little to say about them (as I did with the CW’s “Hellcats,” and as I suspect I’m gonna do with NBC’s “Chase”). That is going to be an insanely busy week for me, and as I’ve said, I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to cover it all, especially when you factor in the usual morning-after spoiler reviews and whatnot. ![]() The 2010-11 TV season officially begins on Monday, and for once virtually all the new broadcast network shows will be debuting in that week, and most of the returning shows will have their premieres then as well, with cable further busying the waters with the “Boardwalk Empire” launch on the 19th and “Dexter” returning on the 26th. ![]() 6/7/2023 0 Comments Scythe thunderhead the toll![]() The novel is divided into five parts, and in the first two or three parts it was very chaotic, skipping across a three-year timeline and in the latter parts it stabilizes a little bit more, keeping a more linear timeline at the very end of the three years. One element of the novel that worked very well was the structure. The Toll by Neal Shusterman subverts expectations as to how the series will end but is still enjoyable. The novel is narrated primarily from the perspectives of Greyson Tolliver, Jerico Soberanis, Scythe Micheal Faraday, Lorain Barchok, Munira Atrushi, Citra Terranova, Rowan Damisch, Scythe Rand, and occasionally the Thunderhead. The first novel established the world and the conflict of the narrative in a compelling manner and the second and third novels continue to escalate and develop the world. Scythes glean - or kill - people in order to maintain the population. People can only die by fire and in space or by Scythes. The Arc of the Scythe series takes place in a society where almost all death has been conquered. ![]() ![]() ![]() Promotional artwork for ‘The Toll’ courtesy of Simon & Schuster.Īfter nearly three years, the Arc of the Scythe by Neal Shusterman has been completed with the release of the final novel, The Toll, on November 5th of this year. ![]() |
