Here is twentieth-century woman in close-up coping with the tragedies and upheavals of women's lives from WWI to Greenham Common and beyond. A triumph of resolution and evocation, this is a beautifully observed story of an ordinary woman's life - a narrative where every word rings true.
Download or read book Plain Anne Ellis written by Anne Ellis and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-02-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plain Anne Ellis builds on Life of an Ordinary Woman, Anne Ellis’s memoir of life in one of Colorado’s most overlooked regions, the San Luis Valley. Despite use and settlement by Utes, Hispanics, Jicarilla Apaches, and Anglos, little has been written about the rich history of this valley. Ellis describes herself as an ordinary widow with few financial resources trying to make a living in an inaccessible valley. But Ellis was far from ordinary: she raised children on her own, sent them to college, worked as a cook and the only woman on crews installing telephone lines and building roads to open the San Luis Valley to development, and successfully ran for county treasurer. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Ellis was her frankness. Ellis admitted that "to have been born in the Victorian era certainly cramps one’s style." She was not afraid to put into print her desire for intimacy and love. This and other observations of her life make it clear that Anne Ellis was anything but plain and ordinary.

Download or read book An Ordinary Woman written by Terrye Williams and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of stories from personal experiences, sermons, conversations and the impact of many lives whose story has intersected with mine. It is the journey of recognition of who I am in light of the love of God and call of Jesus Christ on my life. What is so important about my story, you might ask? It is important because it is mine, as do all stories belong to the teller. However, the saddness of it is that these personal, powerful pieces of life are not shared enough, and it is in the sharing that we touch lives. Jesus is our example. Throughout my particular story, the people who were most inclined to find their way into my life and ministry were those the church had forgotten, those who were in need of healing from the wounds the church inflicted, or those who could not in good conscience be part of something that was too far beyond the reality they lived within. These are the stories that need told. My hope is that in telling mine, greater stories from those who have remained silent will emerge.
