Nya himlar över en ny jord ? om Klara Johanson, Lydia Wahlström och den feministiska vänskapskärleken
?Helst och bäst minns jag en natt för jämnt fyrti år sen, som visst också du kommer ihåg. Då var jag upprört lycklig, det vet jag historiskt, fastän jag inte längre kan föreställa mig hur sådant känns. Efteråt blev jag förstås ännu upprördare olycklig". Så skrev litteraturkritikern Klara Johanson till studierektorn, författaren och kvinnosakskvinnan Lydia Wahlström på trettiotalet. Den nämnda natten anspelar på den 18 november 1894. Kärleksmötet mellan Klara och Lydia ägde rum på Sysslomannagatan 21 i Uppsala, och kan sägas utgöra startsignalen för de två kvinnornas passionshistoria, som varade i fyra år. År 1898 upphörde kärleksrelationen med en krasch, då Lydia lämnade Klara för en annan kvinna. Om just denna passions utveckling, om sekelskifteskvinnors kärlek som inte uteslöt ett sexuellt begär, och om hur dessa kvinnors självuppfattning förändrades mot bakgrund av den homosexuella identitetens framväxt i början av 1900-talet skriver Greger Eman. Det var kvinnofrigörelsen som utgjorde förutsättningen för de nya relationerna, menar han, och som bidrog till att kvinnor som älskade kvinnor kunde utveckla en historiskt helt ny identitet. ?För mig lyste nya himlar över en ny jord?, skriver Klara Johanson. Greger Eman är redaktör för tidningen Kom Ut! och har gett ut ett urval ur Klara Johansons dagböcker.
Symbol of dawn. The life and times of the 19th-century estonian poet lydia koidula
In Symbol of Dawn Madli Puhvel presents the story of the life and times of Lydia Koidula to English-speaking readers. Koidula, who lived in the latter half of the 19th century, was the first great poet to write in Estonian. At the time, it was still considered vulgar in the Baltic provinces for a woman to have her name appear in print and her poems were published anonymously. An admiring contemporary dubbed the author with the nom de plume "Koidula", a name which in Estonian has connotations of "dawn". That name became universally recognized by Estonians who learned her patriotic poems at school. These were inspirational messages advocating ethnic pride and love of native land to a people who were just emerging from over 600 years of serfdom. In her personal life the poet was plagued by depression. In this she shared the fate of many intellectually gifted women who lived during times when intellect in women was largely deplored. Her nom de plume was well known during her lifetime, but real recognition came largely posthumously. Today she is considered Estonia's national heroine, a woman whose portrait adorned (before the adoption of Euro) Estonian currency and postage stamps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in Estonia and educated in England, Canada, and the United States, Madli Puhvel holds a doctorate from the University of California. Besides her academic career as a research scientist and professor of medicine at UCLA she has cultivated an interest in literature, history, and biography.
The Descendants of William Hayward of Easton, Massachusetts by His Two Wives, Lydia Manley and Ann Holland

Lydia was 19 years old and enjoying university with a loving family and great friends when she became anorexic. The doctors told her that she would die. This is Lydia’s account of what anorexia did to her, how it changed her and how it impacted on her family, friends and all her choices in life. Her story is told through letters and blogs that Lydia wrote at the best and worst of times, notes from her parent s and friends desperately trying to find a way through to her and doctors notes with the horrific exacting details. Lydia is now 23 and ‘recovering’. She strongly believes that recovery is possible, and feels she is almost there. She wrote her book to explain her deepest thoughts and to explain the painful mental torture that she endured and overcame. And she wrote it in the hope that others suffering would relate to it, and that other families watching their loved ones will be touched and understand more deeply how an eating disorder really feels.
Reasons for and Advantages of Breathing: Stories
"Lydia Peelle has given us a collection of stories so artfully constructed and deeply imagined they read like classics. It marks the beginning of what will surely be a long and beautiful career." --Ann PatchettIn Reasons for and Advantages of Breathing, Lydia Peelle brings together eight brilliant stories--two of which won Pushcart Prizes and one of which won an O. Henry Prize--that peer straight into the human heart. In startling and original prose, she examines lives derailed by the loss of a vital connection to the land and to the natural world of which they are a part.Reasons for and Advantages of Breathing conveys an almost Faulknerian ache for the pre-modern South, for a landscape and a way of life lost to the ravages of money and technology.

The Whiting Award--winning author of the story collection Reasons for and Advantages of Breathing delivers her enchanting debut novel, set in 1916 Tennessee: a rich and rewarding tale of two flawed yet endearing grifters who pursue women, wealth, and a surprisingly valuable commodity for the troops in Europe--mules.A middle-aged Irish immigrant, Billy has a gift for illusion--making damaged objects look new. His companion, Charles, the smooth-tongued teenage son of a prostitute, is a natural salesman, just like the mythical father he's never met. Longtime horse traders and partners, they've recently turned their talents to trading mules. But in the summer of 1916, these seasoned grifters skilled in the art of the underhanded deal have just been swindled themselves. They're saddled with the one thing they may not be able to unload: a gorgeous, murderous black mare named The Midnight Cool.Charles should have listened to Catherine, the beautiful, rebellious daughter of Leland Hatcher, the richest man in Richfield, Tennessee, and the former owner of The Midnight Cool. The horse would be worth a fortune--if she weren't a verified man-killer who attacks on sight. Charles and Billy are rooted in this muggy town until they can miraculously retrain their recalcitrant mare, and in the shadow of the growing inevitability of war, their bond begins to fray. Falling in love with Catherine--and under the spell of the deceitful, wealthy Leland, the vision of himself he'd like to be--Charles pulls away from the older man.Despite their growing distance, Billy and Charles find their business thriving when the war in Europe pushes the demand for mules sky-high and the United States enters the fight. But when a trade goes terribly wrong, Charles is forced to reevaluate his allegiance to his country, the moral implications of his lifestyle, his relationship with Catherine, and, ultimately, his mysterious and surprisingly deep connection to Billy.Populated by spirited, memorable characters, The Midnight Cool is a startlingly profound tale of aspiration, loyalty, and love--and the eternal search for something lasting in a transitory world.
