Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ladies' Battle The absence of a Ways and Means Com mittee in the United States Senate. But to persons versed in government, the mere men tion of the absence of a Ways and Means Committee in the United States Senate sug gests the answer. The ordinary voter may not understand these things; but suiiragists, proposing a great, fundamental change in government, a change greater perhaps, than they really contemplate, ought to understand such points, which are among the alphabet of representative government. To attempt enormous governmental changes without knowing this alphabet is like trying to work the integral and differential calculus without mastering the ground-rules of arithmetic. One of the strangest features of the wo man su rage movement is that suffrage is treated throughout, not as a means, but as an end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women's Fight for the Vote As a chronicler of a campaign which is still in progress I labour under a certain disadvantage as to tenses. The "may be" of to-day becomes the "was" or the "might have been" of to-morrow. Even while the ink is still wet in the printing press events are happening which are deciding whether a new chapter of militancy is to be written or whether the book should have the orthodox ending - "and they all lived happily ever after." Those who read this book a year, a month, or even a day, after it is published are asked to bear this salient fact in mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War of Women, Vol. 2 of 2 When the council was assembled, Madame de Tour ville set forth her plan. She proposed that the dukes should come up secretly with their army, that they should procure, by force or by persuasion, a goodly number of boats, and go down the river into Bordeaux, shouting: Vive Condé Down with Mazarin! In this way Madame la Princesse's entry would assume the proportions Of a veritable triumph, and Madame de Tourville, by a détour, would accomplish her famous project of taking forcible possession of Bor deaux, and thus inspiring the queen with a wholesome terror of an army whose opening move resulted so brilliantly.

It does not profess to be an exhaustive account of women's work in the war. It is content with the more modest task of selecting and describing some typical cases. I know the seru pulous care with which it has been prepared, and I heartily commend it, not only as a trustworthy and uncoloured delineation of actual fact, but as a message of stimulus and inspiration to us all.

Download or read book Lady Justice written by Dahlia Lithwick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the LA Times Book Prize in Current Interest An instant New York Times Bestseller! “Stirring…Lithwick’s approach, interweaving interviews with legal commentary, allows her subjects to shine...Inspiring.”—New York Times Book Review “In Dahlia Lithwick’s urgent, engaging Lady Justice, Dobbs serves as a devastating bookend to a story that begins in hope.”—Boston Globe Dahlia Lithwick, one of the nation’s foremost legal commentators, tells the gripping and heroic story of the women lawyers who fought the racism, sexism, and xenophobia of Donald Trump’s presidency—and won After the sudden shock of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016, many Americans felt lost and uncertain. It was clear he and his administration were going to pursue a series of retrograde, devastating policies. What could be done? Immediately, women lawyers all around the country, independently of each other, sprang into action, and they had a common goal: they weren’t going to stand by in the face of injustice, while Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the Republican party did everything in their power to remake the judiciary in their own conservative image. Over the next four years, the women worked tirelessly to hold the line against the most chaotic and malign presidency in living memory. There was Sally Yates, the acting attorney general of the United States, who refused to sign off on the Muslim travel ban. And Becca Heller, the founder of a refugee assistance program who brought the fight over the travel ban to the airports. And Roberta Kaplan, the famed commercial litigator, who sued the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. And, of course, Stacey Abrams, whose efforts to protect the voting rights of millions of Georgians may well have been what won the Senate for the Democrats in 2020. These are just a handful of the stories Lithwick dramatizes in thrilling detail to tell a brand-new and deeply inspiring account of the Trump years. With unparalleled access to her subjects, she has written a luminous book, not about the villains of the Trump years, but about the heroes. And as the country confronts the news that the Supreme Court, which includes three Trump-appointed justices, will soon overturn Roe v. Wade, Lithwick shines a light on not only the major consequences of such a decision, but issues a clarion call to all who might, like the women in this book, feel the urgency to join the fight. A celebration of the tireless efforts, legal ingenuity, and indefatigable spirit of the women whose work all too often went unrecognized at the time, Lady Justice is destined to be treasured and passed from hand to hand for generations to come, not just among lawyers and law students, but among all optimistic and hopeful Americans.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War of Women, Vol. 1 But when he had had the honor of escorting the court back to Paris in triumph, he amused himself by making sport of it. Considering that he was not rewarded in proportion to his glory and his services, says Voltaire, he was the first to ridi cule Mazarin, to defy the queen, and insult the government he despised. No crime against the State could be imputed to Conde; nevertheless he was arrested at the Louvre, he and his brother Conti, and his brother ia-law Longueville, without ceremony, and simply because Mazarin feared them. The proceeding was, in truth, contrary to all laws, but laws were disregarded by all parties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
