Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. To survive the long shadow of the Third Reich, many children were placed in hiding, forced to keep their true identities--names, religion, places of birth, even gender--secret. Among these hidden children was Evelyne Juliette, born in Paris to privileged Hungarian immigrants of high intellect and great passion. Scarcely a year following her birth, France would fall to the Nazis, plunging Europe further into chaos and placing Evi's family among hundreds of thousands on the run. Her father, forced to go underground, never again emerged. Her mother, the indomitable Magda, managed to send her young daughter to temporary safety before being imprisoned in a forced labor camp. Evi, just barely three, was eventually brought by an aunt to Budapest under her cousin's passport. Claude Pollak would be only the first of many false identities assumed to protect the shattered remnants of this young child's life. Brimming with novelistic detail, vivid characterizations, and a sharply observed emotional terrain, Magda's Daughter depicts, in the words of the author herself, the life of a perpetual refugee, forced by historical circumstance to live in rootless exile, while yearning for something she never really knew--life before. Evi Blaikie, a gifted storyteller, writes against the limits of language and defies traditional definitions of survivorship, while reminding us that no war is ever over until the last survivor is gone.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Through Hurston, the soul of the black South gained one of its most articulate interpreters. --New York Times During her lifetime, Zora Neale Hurston was praised for her writing but condemned for her independence and audacity.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. ".An expansive, eclectic, and innovative novel."--Women's Review of Books A modern-day Things Fall Apart, The Amputated Memory explores the ways in which an African woman's memory preserves, and strategically forgets, moments in her tumultuous past as well as the cultural past of her country, in the hopes of making a healthier future possible. Pinned between the political ambitions of her philandering father, the colonial and global influences of encroaching and exploitative governments, and the traditions of her Cameroon village, Halla Njokè recalls childhood traumas and reconstructs forgotten experiences to reclaim her sense of self. Winner of the Noma Award--previous honorees include Mamphela Ramphele, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and Ken Saro-Wiwa--The Amputated Memory was called by the Noma jury "a truly remarkable achievement . . . a deeply felt presentation of the female condition in Africa; and a celebration of women as the country's memory.".…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Why are the fields of science and technology still considered to be predominantly male professions? The Madame Curie Complex moves beyond the most common explanations--limited access to professional training, lack of resources, exclusion from social networks of men--to give historical context and unexpected revelations about women's contributions to the sciences. Exploring the lives of Jane Goodall, Rosalind Franklin, Rosalyn Yalow, Barbara McClintock, Rachel Carson, and the women of the Manhattan Project, Julie Des Jardins considers their personal and professional stories in relation to their male counterparts--Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi--to demonstrate how the gendered culture of science molds the methods, structure, and experience of the work. With lively anecdotes and vivid detail, The Madame Curie Complex reveals how women scientists have often asked different questions, used different methods, come up with different explanations for phenomena in the natural world, and how they have forever transformed a scientist's role.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Praised by the Chicago Sun-Times for its furious, indignant power, this story offers a rare, funny, bitter, and feminist look at war. First published in London in 1930, Not So Quiet. (on the Western Front) describes a group of British women ambulance drivers on the French front lines during World War I, surviving shell fire, cold, and their punishing commandant, Mrs. Bitch. The novel takes the guise of an autobiography by Smith, pseudonym for Evadne Price. The novel's power comes from Smith's outrage at the senselessness of war, at her country's complacent patriotism, and her own daily contact with the suffering and the wounded.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A Commonwealth Prize-winning novel of "intense power&nbsp.&nbsp.  examining the role of women in modern African society" by the acclaimed Ghanaian author (Publishers Weekly).   Living in Ghana's capital city of Accra with a postgraduate degree and a career in data analysis, Esi Sekyi is a thoroughly modern African woman. Perhaps that is why she decides to divorce her husband after enduring yet another morning's marital rape. Though her friends and family are baffled by her decision (after all, he doesn't beat her!), Esi holds fast. When she falls in love with a married man--wealthy, and able to arrange a polygamous marriage--the modern woman finds herself trapped in a new set of problems.   Witty and compelling, Aidoo's novel, according to Manthia Diawara, "inaugurates a new realist style in African literature." In an afterword to this edition, Tuzyline Jita Allan "places Aidoo's work in a historical context and helps introduce this remarkable writer [who] sheds light on women's problems around the globe" (Publishers Weekly).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The New York Times-bestselling author of Getting the Love You Want sends out a 'call for renewed feminist action, based on "the spirit and ethic of love'" (Kirkus Reviews). A decade before the Seneca Falls Convention, black and white women joined together at the 1837 Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women in the first instance of political organizing by American women for American women. Incited by "holy indignation," these pioneers believed it was their God-given duty to challenge both slavery and patriarchy. Although the convention was largely written out of history for its religious and interracial character, these women created a blueprint for an intersectional feminism that was centuries ahead of its time. Part historical investigation, part personal memoir, Hunt traces how her research into nineteenth-century organizing led her to become one of the most significant philanthropists in modern history. Her journey to confront her position of power meant taking control of an oil fortune that was being deployed on her behalf but without her knowledge, and acknowledging the feminist faith animating her life's work.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. FP has hired an outside freelance publicist to focus specifically on landing big media hits (television and radio). The author has previously appeared on The Today Show, etc. and we are following up with producers about a return/updated segment. Foreword by Latham Thomas, a celebrity doula and maternal care expert, also known as @glowmaven and the founder of Mama Glow. Named one of Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul 100, Latham Thomas is an influencer and author bridging the gap between optimal wellness, spiritual growth, and radical self care and is the go-to-guru for modern holistic lifestyle for women. Approximately 1 in 4 known pregnancies result in miscarriage (loss before 20 weeks). One in 100 pregnancies result in stillbirth (loss at 20 weeks and beyond). Statistics aren't adequately captured for pregnancies that are terminated for medical reasons as well as infant loss. All said, pregnancy complications affect most families in some capacity. Pregnancy loss is not a disease; there is no ultimate cure. It knows nothing of race, culture, class, ethnicity, religion, education, or age. It will continue to exist as long as people continue to undertake pregnancy. Therefore, there is a timelessness--and an unfortunate universality--to this topic. Jessica Zucker's professional and personal experience gives her a unique multifaceted perspective to the psychology of pregnancy and infant loss. She is a psychologist specializing in women's reproductive, who then built a digital community of tens of thousands of women upon her personal experience with miscarriage.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In August 2003, the world gained access to a remarkable new voice: a blog written by a 25-year-old Iraqi woman living in Baghdad, whose identity remained concealed for her own protection. Calling herself Riverbend, she offered searing eyewitness accounts of the everyday realities on the ground, punctuated by astute analysis on the politics behind these events.In a voice in turn eloquent, angry, reflective and darkly comic, Riverbend recounts stories of life in an occupied city--of neighbors whose homes are raided by US troops, whose relatives disappear into prisons and whose children are kidnapped by money-hungry militias. At times, the tragic blends into the absurd, as she tells of her family jumping out of bed to wash clothes and send e-mails in the middle of the night when the electricity is briefly restored, or of their quest to bury an elderly aunt when the mosques are all overbooked for wakes and the cemeteries are all full. The only Iraqi blogger writing from a woman's perspective, she also describes a once-secular city where women are now afraid to leave their homes without head covering and a male escort.Interspersed with these vivid snapshots from daily life are Riverbend's analyses of everything from the elusive workings of the Iraqi Governing Council to the torture in Abu Ghraib, from the coverage provided by American media and by Al-Jazeera to Bush's State of the Union speech. Here again, she focuses especially on the fate of women, whose rights and freedoms have fallen victim to rising fundamentalisms in a chaotic postwar society.With thousands of loyal readers worldwide, the Riverbend blog is widely recognized around the world as a crucial source of information not available through the mainstream media. The book version of this blog will have value-added features: an introduction and timeline of events by veteran journalist James Ridgeway, excerpts from Riverbend's links and an epilogue by Riverbend herself.…
