Beauty Is Never Enough

Beauty Is Never Enough

Elizabeth B Alton; Heather Perez

South Jersey Culture History Center
2021
pokkari
Beauty Is Never Enough. As a thirteen-year-old, Elizabeth B. Alton participated in the 1920 Atlantic City International Rolling Chair Parade, an event that gave rise to the Miss America Pageant. Walking the length of the Boardwalk surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd-she remembered the day for the rest of her life. Alton narrates the details of her innocent childhood, marriage to her high school sweetheart John, and varied business ventures. Her community service is extensive and praiseworthy, especially her participation in the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs and the establishment of Stockton University. The centerpiece of her memoir is Alton's longtime association with the Miss America Pageant, providing a behind the scenes view of the Pageant's earliest years through the mid 1990s. Throughout, she notes the difficulties of working in a man's world determined to gain appropriate recognition for women. It is a story of a pioneer who lived her life advocating that beauty is never enough.

"Ashanti's Quest" is a children's fantasy novel from Elizabeth Edwards but can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. The novel tells the story of Alstan, a nation built both on land and in water, which comes under attack from the Dark Forces from the Voltan Mountains. 1000 years before, the Alstan general ignored prophecies which warned of a great war and his nation suffered the consequences. Now, as history threatens to repeat itself, the present general of Alstan determines not to make the same mistakes and consults the Book of Truths to save his nation. Against the wishes of her parents, Ashanti, a fourteen year old warrior apprentice, is sent on a quest to the Hetron Convention to bring back the Nagxov Orb, Alstan's only hope. She is pursued tirelessly by the Shadows of the Dark Forces and experiences many strange adventures along the way. Battling prejudice and doubt, she finally returns to Alstan with the orb. Through the unlikely assistance of her daydreaming younger sister and the arrogant prince of a neighbouring nation, Ashanti attempts to trick her enemy and fulfil the ancient prophecy. But is she to find that she is too late?"Ashanti's Quest" is the first in the series of "The Alstan Chronicles" but is also a complete story, to be enjoyed in its own right.

A Woman Rice Planter

A Woman Rice Planter

Elizabeth W. Allston Pringle; Charles Joyner

University of South Carolina Press
1992
nidottu
A Woman Rice Planter offers insights into a broad spectrum of Southern life after the Civil War. As an account of a woman's struggle for survival and dignity in a distinctly male-dominated society, it contributes significantly to women's history. For observers of the black experience, it affords opinionated, but nonetheless revealing, views about African American folklife. It presents a rich portrait of a distinctive place the South Carolina Low Country in a troubled and generally undocumented time, a portrait made all the more vivid by the fine pen-and-ink sketches of Charleston artist Alice R. Huger Smith.

Sarah Bradford's Elizabeth is the definitive biography of the Queen, revealing the real woman behind the public figure The Queen lived through nearly a century of immense change and upheaval. Her own family experiences, a mixture of happiness and crisis, weddings and divorces, and, in the case of Diana, violent death, have been lived in the glare of tabloid headlines. More than 2 billion people watched the wedding of her grandson Prince William to Catherine Middleton in 2010 shortly before she made the first State Visit to Ireland by a British monarch for 100 years. Our world has changed more in her lifetime than in any of her predecessors': and before her death, the Queen remained a calm presence at the centre, earning the respect of monarchists and republicans. How did she do it?__________________________'The only book that could overtake it is the autobiography, which in this case will never be written' Spectator'Bradford has a real grasp of history and the ability to make it spark into new life' Sunday Telegraph'Bradford's forte, ever since she was a history-mad girl, is thinking herself into other lives' Daily Telegraph

History has pictured Elizabeth I as Gloriana, an icon of strength and power -- and has focused on the early years of her reign. But in 1583, when Elizabeth is fifty, there is relentless plotting among her courtiers -- and still to come is the Spanish Armada and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. We have not, until now, had the full picture.This gripping and vivid portrait of her life and times -- often told in her own words (and including details such as her love of chess and marzipan) -- reveals a woman who was insecure, human ('You know I am no morning woman'), and unpopular even with the men who fought for her. This is the real Elizabeth, for the first time.

Elizabeth Taylor is known internationally as one of the most beautiful and talented women ever to grace the silver screen. She has won two Academy Awards and starred in over sixty films. She is just as well known for her tempestuous personal life, marrying eight times and suffering through innumerable health problems. A cultural icon, she has been written about before . . . but never like this. This moving book traces for the first time Elizabeth's journey through the dark and often lonely world of a fame unparalleled in the 1960s and 1970s, a time during which alcohol and drugs played a major part in her life. It would be with her fifth (and sixth) husband Richard Burton (with whom she made twelve movies, including Cleopatra) that she would learn life lessons about love and loyalty that would inform the rest of her life and, finally, be the catalyst for her recovery from alcoholism in the 1980s. This book also details her philanthropic work as an AIDS activist in the 1990s as well as her stunning success as a business woman today (with a multi-million-dollar fragrance). Based on years of research, this is not just a star's biography . . . it's an unforgettable woman's story.
