Download or read book Eleanor Marx written by Yvonne Kapp and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleanor Marx is one of the most tragically overlooked feminist intellectuals in history, usually overshadowed by her father, Karl Marx. But not only did she edit, translate, transcribe and collaborate with her father, she also spent her extraordinary life putting his ideas into practice as a labour organizer, feminist radical, and Marxist theorist. The outstanding exception to the omission of Eleanor Marx from history is Yvonne Kapp's highly acclaimed biography. First published at the height of feminist organizing in the 1970s, Kapp's work brilliantly succeeds in capturing Eleanor's spirit, from a lively child opining on the world's affairs, to the new woman, aspiring to the stage, earning her living as a free intellectual, and helping to lead England's unskilled workers at the height of the new unionism; being always more than, yet at the same time inescapably, Karl Marx's daughter. It is also, inevitably, an unrivalled biography of the Marx household in Victorian London, of the Marx circle, and of Friedrich Engels, the family's extraordinary mentor. During today's resurgence of feminist writing, organizing, and protesting, Kapp's foundational single-volume biography serves as a crucial corrective to a narrative that puts feminists and marxists on opposing sides of radical history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing coming-of-age autobiography of a young American caught in Nazi Germany during World War II. During the Great Depression, when Eleanor is nine, her family moves from her beloved America to Germany, from which her parents had emigrated years before and where her father has been offered a job he cannot pass up. But when war suddenly breaks out as her family is crossing the Atlantic, they realize returning to the United States isn't an option. They arrive in Berlin as enemy aliens. Eleanor tries to maintain her American identity as she feels herself pulled into the turbulent life roiling around her. She and her brother are enrolled in German schools and in Hitler's Youth (a requirement). She fervently hopes for an Allied victory, yet for years she must try to survive the Allied bombs shattering her neighborhood. Her family faces separations, bombings, hunger, the final fierce battle for Berlin, the Russian invasion, and the terrors of Soviet occupancy. This compelling story is heart-racing at times and immerses readers in a first-hand account of Nazi Germany, surviving World War II as a civilian, and immigration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orphaned at a tender age, Elsie has spent her entire life toiling away in the orphanage, scrubbing floors and doing menial chores in exchange for room and board. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a sudden revelation turns her world upside down: she discovers she has a husband waiting for her, and she must embark on a journey by train to meet him. In a heart-wrenching twist, the headmistress cruelly separates Elsie from her beloved sister, Eleanor, forbidding them to bid each other farewell. As Elsie boards the train bound for Colorado, her stomach churns with anxiety, leaving her pondering the fate of her sister. Dr. Clark is a man deeply devoted to the pursuit of knowledge, burying himself in books and dedicating his life to caring for the sick and injured. Amidst the thriving town of Georgetown, Colorado, brimming with miners seeking fortunes, the doctor has focused solely on his medical practice, neglecting the search for a wife or a family. Therefore, when Elsie unexpectedly arrives, he is perplexed as to why she has been sent as his bride, since he had specifically requested an assistant for his practice from his nephew. Will love's gentle pulse awaken between the doctor and Elsie, bridging the gap between their differences? Or will Elsie's yearning to reunite with her sister lead her to flee their blossoming connection?

Download or read book The Candles She Lit written by Stella K. Hershan and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1993 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness and her glow has warmed the world. These words were spoken by U.N. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson after the death of Eleanor Roosevelt on November 7, 1962. The Candles She Lit brings to the reader for the first time hitherto untold stories of people whose lives had been dramatically changed--sometimes even saved--by the solace and practical aid of Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a woman of the people. Her life is a shining example of the difference one person can make, an extraordinary picture of a woman's service to mankind. As First Lady and during the long years after the White House, Mrs. Roosevelt worked untiringly to enhance the welfare and dignity of people everywhere. Every single appeal for help was answered, every letter of the hundreds she received daily got a reply. Everyone who came into her orbit, whether they were kings or servants, were treated with the same warmth and courteousness. Yet, she was not a paragon of virtue; she could get angry, she could laugh, mostly at herself, and she suffered a great deal. The Candles She Lit is both a brief biography of Eleanor Roosevelt and a testimony to the positive and influential effect she had on others. Youth, family, young adulthood and her marriage to Franklin, the White House period, and the years alone are richly portrayed. The picture that emerges is of an idealistic, intelligent, honest, and compassionate woman always ready to reach out to those in need. The role of Eleanor Roosevelt in the drafting of The Declaration of Human Rights is also pointed out. She considered the Declaration her crowning achievement because it encompasses every single human being on our planet. Stella K. Hershan draws on the testimony of numerous people from all walks of life. Anecdotes, stories, and memories of members of her staff, school children, college students, survivors of the Holocaust, the famous, and the not famous, provide a loving testimonial to the memory of one of the greatest women of the twentieth century.
