Book excerpt: This heart-warming historical fiction debut about a female pilot is “like reading a personal diary of the brave women who were unsung heroes of WWII” (Rhys Bowen, New York Times–bestselling author of the Royal Spyness mysteries). During World War II, farmer’s daughter Rosalie Wright becomes a pilot assisting the RAF. But will a romantic rivalry send her aerial dreams plummeting to earth? Ever since she was 10 years old, Rosalie Wright’s eyes have been on the skies. But at the age of 18, on the verge of earning her pilot's license, the English farmer’s daughter watches her dreams of becoming an aviatrix fly away without her. Britain's entry into World War II brings civilian aviation to a standstill. Then, Rosalie's father dies, leaving her, her mother, and her brothers to run the farm. Everything changes when she learns that the Air Transport Authority is recruiting women pilots to ferry warplanes across Britain to RAF bases. Despite her mother’s objections, Rosalie cannot resist the call of her country—and the lure of the skies. During her training on Gipsy Moth aircraft, Rosalie forms a fast friendship with fellow flyer Caroline Andrews. Her trusty Ferry Pilots Notebook by her side, Rosalie delivers to five airfields in a day—while fighting an endless battle against skeptical male pilots and ground crews. She would much rather spend her time on the wing than on the arm of any man...until she meets gruff pilot Snug Durrant and RAF squadron leader Alan Chersey. Snug is a cynical, wisecracking playboy, and Alan is every WAAF’s heartthrob...and Rosalie catches both their eyes. As the war drags on, and casualties mount, will love and tragedy send Rosalie’s exhilarating airborne life crashing to the ground?

From Glamour’s origin as the magazine “for the girl with a job” to today, strong, ambitious women have always taken center stage, and no place more so than at Glamour’s annual Women of the Year Awards. Launched in 1990, the annual awards have become a 30-year living, breathing history, mapping out the evolution of women’s power across the worlds of film, politics, sports, activism, and more. Many of the names are familiar. We’ve grown up with Billie Jean King, Madonna, Nora Ephron, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Titans of change like Michelle Obama and Malala Yousafzai have rocked our world in lasting ways. Stars such as Reese Witherspoon, Ava DuVernay, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong’o, and Ashley Graham have used their global influence to shift the needle in filmmaking, reproductive rights, criminal justice, and representation. Other names you may not know so well include women who have transformed the futures of school children in local communities, and teens who organized millions to fight against gun violence.

Additionally, it includes original content from Shonda Rhimes, Diane von Furstenberg, Arianna Huffington, and more to inspire future generations.

Download or read book Glamour written by Stephen Gundle and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-07-16 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glamour is one of the most tantalizing and bewitching aspects of contemporary culture - but also one of the most elusive. The aura of celebrity, the style of the fashion world, the vanity of the rich and beautiful, and the publicity-driven rites of café society are all imbued with its irresistible magnetism. But what exactly is glamour? Where does it come from? How old is it? And can anyone quite capture its magic? Stephen Gundle answers all these questions and more in this first ever history of the phenomenon, from Paris in the tumultuous final decades of the eighteenth century through to Hollywood, New York, and Monte Carlo in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Napoleon to Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe, from Beau Brummell to Gianni Versace. Throughout, the book captures the excitement and sex appeal of glamour while exposing its mechanisms and exploring its sleazy and sometimes tragic underside. As Gundle shows, while glamour is exciting and magnetic, its promise is ultimately an illusion that can only ever be partially fulfilled.

Download or read book The Glamour Girls written by James Parish and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text of The Glamour Girls by James Robert Parish and Don E. Stanke. Dwelling in their own special solar system-far beyond mere film stardom or talent, are the Hollywood beauties known as Glamour Girls. Some were little more than animated mannequins daydreaming through movies, human May flies who soared, dazzled, and died all on the same day. Others were far more fortunate. Blessed with ability and determination, they broke free of their golden fetters and showed moviegoers that they were far more than store-window dummies. The most artificial creations of an artificial-loving business, Hollywood's Glamour Girls were cinema's Blessed Goddesses. In The Glamour Girls, nine of them are recalled-their films, their off-screen lives, and their special and highly varied brands of witchcraft. JOAN BENNETT-She only wanted to be a normal, upper-class flapper . . . YVONNE DE CARLO-From sumptuous Technicolor celluloid adventures to Broadway's Follies . . . RITA HAYWORTH-Tigress or Pussycat? . . . AUDREY HEPBURN-The elegant gamine . . . JENNIFER JONES-What lay behind her intense innocence? . . . MARIA MONTEZ-The temperamental beauty who believed too strongly in her publicity hype . . . KIM NOVAK-"Her face is like a sponge that can soak you up"-Life magazine .. . MERLE OBERON-the aristocrat with a hidden past who insisted "I just want to look my best" . . . VERA HRUBA RALSTON-Was her amazing self-confidence justified? The Glamour Girls provides a probing examination of these Silver Screen Beauties-and the men who created these luscious movie icons: David O. Selznick spends a fortune selling Jennifer Jones as a great dramatic actress . . Herbert Yates "gives" Republic Pictures to Vera Hruba Ralston . . . Alexander Korda reconstructs Merle Oberon as an exotic beauty . . . Harry Cohn punishes willful Rita Hayworth by practically inventing luscious Kim Novak . . . and Walter Wanger shoots a film colony rival over Joan Bennett. This meticulous study of cinema glamour is filled with detailed filmographies of its subjects, precise recreations of scores of motion pictures, and telling reviews by contemporary critics who were at the same time caustic and captivated by these legendary love goddesses.
