The Mutual Admiration Society: How Dorothy L. Sayers and Her Oxford Circle Remade the World for Women

The Mutual Admiration Society: How Dorothy L. Sayers and Her Oxford Circle Remade the World for Women

Mo Moulton

BASIC BOOKS
2019
sidottu
A group biography of renowned crime novelist Dorothy L. Sayers and the Oxford women who stood at the vanguard of equal rights Dorothy L. Sayers is now famous for her Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane detective series, but she was equally well known during her life for an essay asking "Are Women Human?" Women's rights were expanding rapidly during Sayers's lifetime; she and her friends were some of the first women to receive degrees from Oxford. Yet, as historian Mo Moulton reveals, it was clear from the many professional and personal obstacles they faced that society was not ready to concede that women were indeed fully human. Dubbing themselves the Mutual Admiration Society, Sayers and her classmates remained lifelong friends and collaborators as they fought for a truly democratic culture that acknowledged their equal humanity. A celebration of feminism and female friendship, The Mutual Admiration Society offers crucial insight into Dorothy L. Sayers and her world.

I have led my life in a constant state of poetry. Since the age of about eight I saw and felt everything important in rhyme time. Hence I have gathered my life story in a book of poems that will mean nothing to you except from an entertainment aspect. I was born in the small coal mining town of Shamokin, PA on July 6th, 1925 . Yes, I'm 92 so I have a lot to write about, but I chose to capture only the events of importance to me, like having twins in 1946 when it was still a miracle. Then having a son only sixteen month later, which made me consider thoughts of suicide. Eighteen years later, when I was about to become a free spirit, I found myself pregnant.(thoughts of suicide returning to the fore again) But life held another surprise when I discovered my first born twin was expecting too, leading then to thoughts of murder. Being accustom by now to the travails of life we forged forward and delivered our bundles of joy within 6 months of each other, making my new daughter an aunt to my new grandchild and I became my own grandma. The poems I have included in my book will make notice to the times they happened and the reason of importance. I must add, at this time, that I have gone through two husbands and have been involved with a great guy a year older than myself, for the last ten years, so if you only get one thing out of my book it should be enjoy life, it's never too late to start over. For your additional enjoyment I have added some of my art work . ENJOY

Are You a Friend of Dorothy?

Are You a Friend of Dorothy?

Kyle Lukoff

From Newbery Honor and Stonewall Book Award–winning author Kyle Lukoff and celebrated picture book illustrator Levi Hastings comes an “approachable, engaging” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book about how people found community in a time when they had to keep their true selves secret.“Are you a friend of Dorothy?” In a time when the LGBTQ+ community was forced to hide in the shadows, a woman named Dorothy helped her people find each other in the dark and celebrate themselves in the light. But who was Dorothy? Was she from the neighborhood, someone’s wife, mother, or sister? Was she that clever writer, who threw parties where there were no rules about who you could and couldn’t dance with? Or was she a girl from Kansas, who dreamed of leaving her black-and-white, small-town life and finding a vibrant, colorful world that loved her? Dorothy might have been all these things—because Dorothy, as known by the post-WWII queer community, wasn’t real. Still, she helped a community find connection and care amidst adversity.

This is an award winning play about Dorothy Dandridge. It has been produced all over the country and is considered one of the most complete rendition of the tragic star and icon. It is a fictional telling of Dorothy's last day alive. The play takes place in her backstage dressing room at the Velvet Club in Los Angeles where she comes face to face with her mortality as well as defining moments in her life and career. It is a solo piece that is a challenge for an accomplished actor. The story tells the story that just because one is considered a famous, rich, and beautiful star it doesn't always lead to a filling life.

This book is about the much produced and award winning play by the author. It is a fictitious one-woman performance about her last night alive and the memories that suddenly come streaming into her mind because the lone reporter in her dressing room that fateful night reminds her so much about her estranged only sister. This story takes on a ride through her rise to fame to her personal life failures and successes, and finally to the place of desperation her life has come to at the age of 42. Though she is depressed in her Velvet Club dressing room, she relays her biographical story with great flair and sophistication as only Dorothy Dandridge can.

A farm girl. A witch. A magic compass. Having already survived the worst that Wonderland, Neverland, and the Arabian desert threw at her, Dorothy Gale wants nothing more than to wake up in her own bed on her aunt and uncle's farm in Kansas. The arcane enchantment on the compass of the Emerald City isn't going to let go of her so easily, however. Dorothy and her friends, Winifred Jones and Almira West (of Wicked Witch fame) instead find themselves thrust once more into one classic literary world after another. Bitterly disappointed at not getting home after their last adventure, Winnie has surrendered possession of the compass, while Almira's magic has flourished, developing unpredictable consequences of its use. In their desperate quest to survive, the three women face all new dangers-fairy changelings, eldritch monsters, and gothic vampires-leaving the burden upon Dorothy to discover the confidence to trust her own instincts and learn the value of her own inner wisdom. After all, there is no place like home.
