Madame President: The Extraordinary Journey of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

Madame President: The Extraordinary Journey of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

Helene Cooper

Ss/ Marysue Rucci Books
2018

BEST BOOKS of 2017 SELECTION by * THE WASHINGTON POST * NEW YORK POST * The harrowing, but triumphant story of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, leader of the Liberian women's movement, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the first democratically elected female president in African history. When Ellen Johnson Sirleaf won the 2005 Liberian presidential election, she demolished a barrier few thought possible, obliterating centuries of patriarchal rule to become the first female elected head of state in Africa's history. Madame President is the inspiring, often heartbreaking story of Sirleaf's evolution from an ordinary Liberian mother of four boys to international banking executive, from a victim of domestic violence to a political icon, from a post-war president to a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Helene Cooper deftly weaves Sirleaf's personal story into the larger narrative of the coming of age of Liberian women. The highs and lows of Sirleaf's life are filled with indelible images; from imprisonment in a jail cell for standing up to Liberia's military government to addressing the United States Congress, from reeling under the onslaught of the Ebola pandemic to signing a deal with Hillary Clinton when she was still Secretary of State that enshrined American support for Liberia's future. Sirleaf's personality shines throughout this riveting biography. Ultimately, Madame President is the story of Liberia's greatest daughter, and the universal lessons we can all learn from this "Oracle" of African women.

Discover the eye-opening story of the first woman student at MIT--a pioneering environmental chemist sure to inspire the next generation of female trailblazers in science. Ellen Swallow found a friend in nature and a lifelong love of science as a child exploring the woods around her family's home. She was a voracious learner with an interest in chemistry, and continuing her education at the newly established Massachusetts Institute of Technology seemed a good fit. But in 1871, many believed that women belonged in the home, not in schools dedicated to the study of science. Ellen thought, why not both? She believed science could help solve the problems of everyday life, including the pollution she observed in Boston, so when offered the chance to study the city's water systems, she seized it. What she found would change the way we think about clean water. In her lifetime, Ellen pioneered science education for women, advocated for a healthier environment, and helped develop the field of ecology. The Girl Who Tested the Waters, with engaging text and soft, inviting illustrations, portrays a woman ahead of her time and her tireless efforts to bring about change for good. Curious readers can find more in the back matter, including a time line, an author's note, source notes, and a bibliography.

Die Briefe Wilhelm Ahlmanns an Ellen Rhodius, geb. Richter, von 1926-1943

Friedrich Erich Dobberahn; Bernhard Eschweiler

pokkari
Dr. jur. Dr. phil. Wilhelm Ahlmann (1895-1944), der zum Goerdeler-Kreis und im weiteren Sinn auch zum Stauffenberg-Kreis gerechnet wird, geh rt zu den weniger bekannt gewordenen Widerst ndlern gegen den NS-Staat. Das vorliegende Buch, eine Festschrift zum 90. Geburtstag von Caroline Eschweiler, geb. Rhodius, die Wilhelm Ahlmann als Kind im Hause ihrer Eltern pers nlich kennenlernte, stellt im ersten Teil eine kommentierte Edition der wenigen, in der Familie Rhodius noch erhalten gebliebenen Briefe Ahlmanns aus dem Zeitraum von 1926-1943 dar. Die Briefe gehen nur selten auf politische Ereignisse ein, zwischen den Zeilen wird jedoch die Rastlosigkeit und Anspannung sp rbar, unter welcher Ahlmann, der im Ersten Weltkrieg durch einen Suizid-Versuch v llig erblindet war, als Widerst ndler lebte. Der zweite Teil des Buches beschreibt die Herzensfreundschaft zwischen Ellen Rhodius, geb. Richter und Wilhelm Ahlmann, die bis auf ihre Kindheit in Kiel zur ckgeht - eine Liebesgeschichte, die Ellen Rhodius zuletzt als Mitwisserin der Anschlagspl ne auf Hitler in Lebensgefahr brachte. Diese Geschichte rekonstruierte Ellen Rhodius in Form einer Gedichtsammlung aus Goethe ber Rilke, Hans Carossa u.a. bis Gottfried Benn. Die Gedichte reflektieren ihr Wiedersehen nach ber zehn Jahren, Ahlmanns Suizidversuch, seine Erblindung, seine Wandlung vom Konservativen zum Widerst ndler, die Krisen, denen ihre Beziehung ausgesetzt war, die gegenseitigen Ermutigungen zum Widerstand unter Lebensgefahr, sich als "letztes Scheit" ins Feuer zu werfen, sowie die vorhersehbare Trag die ihres Abschieds voneinander.
