Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first woman judge in the state of North Carolina and the first woman in the United States to be elected chief justice of a state supreme court, Susie Marshall Sharp (1907-1996) broke new ground for women in the legal profession. When she retired in 1979, she left a legacy burnished by her tireless pursuit of lucidity in the law, honesty in judges, and humane conditions in prisons. Anna Hayes presents Sharp's career as an attorney, distinguished judge, and politician within the context of the social mores, the legal profession, and the political battles of her day, illuminated by a careful and revealing examination of Sharp's family background, private life, and personality. Judge Sharp was viewed by contemporaries as the quintessential spinster, who had sacrificed marriage and family life for a successful career. The letters and journals she wrote throughout her life, however, reveal that Sharp led a rich private life in which her love affairs occupied a major place, unsuspected by the public or even her closest friends and family. With unrestricted access to Sharp's abundant journals, papers, and notes, Anna Hayes uncovers the story of a brilliant woman who transcended the limits of her times, who opened the way for women who followed her, and who improved the quality of justice for the citizens of her state. Without Precedent also tells the story of a complicated woman, at once deeply conservative and startlingly modern, whose intriguing self-contradictions reflect the complexity of human nature.
Download or read book The Sharp Family Genealogical History 2003 1610 written by J. Sharp and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the origin and movement of one Sharp family dating back to 1610. John Sharp Sr., Son of Anthony Sharp (1663-1712), was one of two primary Sharp families originating in "Little Horton" (now Bradford) England in the 13th Century. The family was split by the War of the Roses in 1470 with my lineage going North to Scotland. Our journey took us to Tyrone Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland. Next to Dumfries, and finally to Peeblesshire, Scotland. From Peeblesshire, our family ventured by sea to the Port of Philadelphia. A sizable portion settled in Kennett Square, and established a large Quaker community. Others, more adventurous, traveled by foot and wagon-train through Western Maryland, and carefully South avoiding hostile Indians to Frost, Pocahontas, Virginia. Frost took on a sizable community of Sharp's, but that was small to the number that migrated to Nicut, West Virginia, and built a permanent Sharpestablishment. If any readers of this Genealogical History have relatives that may have also traveled this route, or established residency in any of these towns.. we "May Be Related".

Download or read book The Sharp End of Life written by Dierdre Wolownick and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wife and mother. Teacher and musician. Marathoner and rock climber. At 66, Dierdre Wolownick-Honnold became the oldest woman to climb El Capitan in Yosemite--and in The Sharp End of Life: A Mother’s Story, she shares her intimate journey, revealing how her climbing achievement reflects a broader story of courage and persistence. Dierdre grew up under the watchful eyes of a domineering mother and realized early on that her parents’ plans for her future weren’t what she wanted for herself. Later, what seemed like a storybook romance brought escape, with new experiences and eye-opening travel, but she quickly discovered that her husband was not the happy-go-lucky man he had first appeared. Adapting as best she could, Dierdre juggled work and raising two young children, encouraging them to be fearlessly confident. She noted with delight how her “little lady” Stasia took it upon herself to look out for her baby brother, and watched in amazement as Alex (Honnold of "Free Solo" fame) started climbing practically before he could crawl. After years of struggle in her marriage and her ultimate divorce, Dierdre found inspiration in her now-adult children’s passions, as well as new depths within herself. At Stasia’s urging, she took up running at age 54 and soon completed several marathons. Then at age 58, Alex led her on her first rock climbs. A world of friendship and support suddenly opened up to her within the climbing “tribe,” culminating in her record-setting ascent of El Cap with her son. From confused young wife and busy but lonely mother to confident middle-aged athlete, Dierdre brings the reader along as she finds new strength, happiness, and community in the outdoors--and a life of learning, acceptance, and spirit.

Book excerpt: Martin Sharp was an integral part of international Pop Art in the 1960s, magnified through his covers for OZ magazine in Sydney and London, his covers for Cream, and posters of Dylan, Hendrix and Donovan. His efforts at making The Yellow House and Luna Park cultural precincts were aided by his screen prints and exhibitions to flaunt the work of others, especially the singer Tiny Tim. In this first of two volumes, Lowell Tarling offers us a way into the enigmatic and reclusive artist, through interviews with Sharp and all of his trusted friends, including artists Tim Lewis, Peter Kingston, Garry Shead, photographers Greg Weight, Jonny Lewis and William Yang, film-maker Phillippe Mora, actor Lex Marinos, musicians Mic Conway, Jeannie Lewis, Tiny Tim; Richard Neville and Jim Anderson from London Oz. 'Lowell Tarling was a close friend of Martin Sharp and other Yellow House artists for over forty years and has been recording interviews and discussions with Martin and the rest of us all that time. This is an extraordinary archive of primary source material of those heady and life changing times.' - Roger Foley-Fogg (Ellis D Fogg) 'Martin Sharp, through this wonderful collage of interviews, reminds us all, that ETERNITY is just around corner.' - Jonny Lewis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1802 John Sharp and his wife Margaret Blain Sharp, with all their worldly goods, and hopes for the future, departed Rawley Springs, Rockingham County, Virginia with their eleven children, and crossed the mountains for the "Wilds of Pocahontas County". The book documents the next 200 hundred years of the toil, successes, and the contributions of this family to Pocahontas County and the rest of the world. Chapters 1 through 3 discuss the history that led to John and Margaret's migration, their subsequent lives and ultimate passing. Chapter 4 sets the environmental and community parameters into which the Sharp family moved, lived and prospered. Chapter 5 is the genealogical histories of John and Margaret's children, punctuated with individual curiosities, accomplishments and downfalls. Fully indexed, the potential ancestor of the 6500 descendants and spouses included in the book is in easily determined. A major hope is that living descendants of John and Margaret will supplement this initial effort, leading to a much more robust and complete volume. This is strongly encouraged by the authors.
