On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and, to an audience of over 450 million people, proclaimed his step a "giant leap for mankind." This Eagle Scout built his own model planes as a little boy and then grew up to be a test pilot for experimental aircraft before becoming an astronaut. Over 80 black-and-white illustrations bring Armstrong's story to life.
The purpose of Our Stories is to bring women's work into the light, so that their writing receives recognition for the first time, and for other writers, once again receive validation—all writers for their success—for overcoming difficult challenges in their lives: discrimination, abuse, rejection, loss of a loved-one, separation from family—and today are individual stars that lead the way and inspire others.
Drawing from an activist research project spanning Loja, Santo Domingo, New York, New Jersey, and Barcelona, this book offers a feminist intersectional analysis of the impact of migration on health and well-being. It assesses how social inequalities and migration and health policies, in Ecuador and destination countries, shape the experiences of migrants. The author also explores how individual and collective action challenges health, geopolitical, gender, sexual, ethnoracial, and economic disparities, and empowers communities. This is a thorough analysis of interpersonal, institutional, and structural mechanisms of marginalization and resistance. It will inform policy and research for better responses to migration’s negative effects on health, and progress towards greater equality and social justice.

About half a hundred years of poems are here, most of them written in the last century when the poet was a student, young mother and wife. Rarely with a rhyme scheme, often abruptly irregular with unconventional use of punctuation her content stays close to home: family, marriage, broken relationships, withering loneliness, regrets, memories of people who are as loved in spirit as they were in life. Cued by humble scenes: hot soapy dish water, window reflections, and screaming children. Above all, her abiding dreams. Hope and joy, however distant, never disappear. In contrast to so much of the 1960s and follow-on decades, there is no nudity here, in-your-face confrontation, language laced with Saxon graphics or political posturing. This is about a Minnesotan at heart living a modern American life. She reaches farther than Emily Dickinson but shuns the grinding axes that characterize so many of the moderns. She writes mostly in longhand on any scrap of paper near to hand, whenever the muse suggests the first line.
