Abolitionist, women's rights activist, and social reformer, Angelina Grimké (1805-79) was among the first women in American history to seize the public stage in pursuit of radical social reform. "I will lift up my voice like a trumpet" she proclaimed, "and show this people their transgressions". And when she did lift her voice in public, on behalf of the public, she found that, in creating herself, she might transform the world. In the process, Grimké crossed the wires of race, gender, and power, and produced explosions that lit up the world of antebellum reform. Among the most remarkable features of Angelina Grimké's rhetorical career was her ability to stage public contests for the soul of America - bringing opposing ideas together to give them voice, depth, and range to create new and more compelling visions of social change.This is the first full-length study to explore the rhetorical legacy of this most unusual advocate for human rights. Stephen Browne examines her epistolary and oratorical art and argues that rhetoric gave Grimké a means to fashion not only her message but her very identity as a moral force.

An almost teen tries to juggle Mundane (Earth) lessons and lessons in the Magick Realm, one of 10 Realms in this multiverse. She's in for some surprises as she tries to help solve the mystery of abductions in the Magick Realm. Combine that with a mother who doesn't believe other Realms exist and a brother who loves anything Magick and a father who's well known as a master wizard. Throw in a weretiger, werewolf, some dragons, and a housecat who's able to mentally converse with everyone, plus some Giants; I hope the result is amusing, interesting, and a good read.
