Book excerpt: Julia was a young and beautiful woman in her early thirties. She had a successful career as a freelance journalist, was the mother of twin boys, and was adored by her ex-husband Will. Julia had her whole life ahead of her, but on one ordinary day just like any other, things changed in an instant. For no apparent reason, Julia took her own life. After Julia’s untimely death, Will returns home to his family for help raising the twins. He eventually meets Stacey, a successful career woman and coworker on a political campaign. Despite his grief, he falls in love and moves on with his life after losing Julia. Over time, however, Will’s tragic tale begins to morph into something suspicious. Julia’s family never believed she would leave her sons of her own accord—and maybe she didn’t. Fifteen years later, Julia speaks from the grave, and the truth unfolds in a story of intrigue and betrayal.

Download or read book The Land Before Her written by Annette Kolodny and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To discover how women constructed their own mythology of the West, Kolodny examines the evidence of three generations of women's writing about the frontier. She finds that, although the American frontiersman imagined the wilderness as virgin land, an unspoiled Eve to be taken, the pioneer woman at his side dreamed more modestly of a garden to be cultivated. Both intellectual and cultural history, this volume continues Kolodny's study of frontier mythology begun in The Lay of the Land.

Download or read book Argula von Grumbach 1492 1554 7 written by Peter Matheson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when women were expected to stick to their household duties, according to Peter Matheson, Argula von Grumbach burst through every barrier. Matheson offers here a biography of the Reformation's first woman writer. Argula von Grumbach's first pamphlet in 1523 was reprinted all over Germany. Thousands of copies of her eight pamphlets appeared. Through her writing, von Grumbach defied her Bavarian princes (and her husband), denounced censorship, argued for an educated church and society, and developed her own understanding of faith and Scripture. She even intervened in the Imperial Diets at Nuremberg and Augsburg. Drawing for the first time on her correspondence, the author shows how von Grumbach paid dearly for her outspokenness but remained undaunted. Though some saw her as a she-devil and others as a harbinger of a new age, Matheson shows von Grumbach as a woman engaged in the life of the villages where she lived, as one motivated by the dreams she had for her children. In a time of sweeping change and risking everything for the light and truth she was given, Argula von Grumbach showed what the vision and determination of one person could achieve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carrying All Before Her recovers the stories of six eighteenth-century celebrity actresses who performed during pregnancy, melding public and private, persona and person, domestic and professional labor and helping to shape wider social, medical, and political conversations about gender, sexuality, pregnancy, and motherhood. Their stories deepen our understanding of celebrity, repertory, and theatre's connection to a wider social world, and challenge notions of women's agency and power in and beyond the professional theatre.
Download or read book Carrying All before Her written by Chelsea Phillips and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of celebrity stage actresses in the long eighteenth century created a class of women who worked in the public sphere while facing considerable scrutiny about their offstage lives. Such powerful celebrity women used the cultural and affective significance of their reproductive bodies to leverage audience support and interest to advance their careers, and eighteenth-century London patent theatres even capitalized on their pregnancies. Carrying All Before Her uses the reproductive histories of six celebrity women (Susanna Mountfort Verbruggen, Anne Oldfield, Susannah Cibber, George Anne Bellamy, Sarah Siddons, and Dorothy Jordan) to demonstrate that pregnancy affected celebrity identity, impacted audience reception and interpretation of performance, changed company repertory and altered company hierarchy, influenced the development and performance of new plays, and had substantial economic consequences for both women and the companies for which they worked. Deepening the fields of celebrity, theatre, and women's studies, as well as social and medical histories, Phillips reveals an untapped history whose relevance and impact persists today.
