*Includes pictures of important people, places, and events. *Includes Bibliographies for further reading. American presidents have shaped the course of global affairs for generations, but as the saying goes, behind every great man there's a great woman. While the First Ladies often remain overshadowed by their husbands, some have carved unique niches in their time and left their own lasting legacy. Abigail Adams served as a political advisor that earned her the moniker "Mrs. President", while Eleanor Roosevelt gave voice to policy issues in a way that made her a forerunner of First Ladies like Hillary Clinton. During the last 100 years, Susan B. Anthony has been one of the most venerated women in American history, but in the 80 years before that, she was one of the most hated women in American history. Anthony took note of her contemporaries' distaste for her but remained defiant, asserting, "I have encountered riotous mobs and have been hung in effigy, but my motto is: Men's rights are nothing more. Women's rights are nothing less." Though Anthony is best remembered today for working towards women's suffrage, she was an active and progressive advocate for all of the leading human rights issues of her time. Anthony was an ardent abolitionist from day one, and she spent much of the first 40 years of her life championing the cause of African-Americans, even befriending men like Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison along the way. She also championed "radical" ideas as 8 hour work days, minimum wage laws, and equal pay for women. To say Helen Keller is one of the most unique figures in American history would be an understatement. As a young child, Helen lost both her vision and hearing, leaving her deafblind, an almost hopelessly debilitating condition that left her literally trapped, unable to communicate with anyone. But Helen eventually overcame the frustration and used unimaginable perseverance to overcome her disability. With Anne Sullivan's help and the sense of touch, Helen eventually broke through and learned to communicate. Helen's story would have been remarkable enough if it had ended simply with her ability to communicate with the outside world, but "I had now the key to all language, and I was eager to learn to use it." With unbridled ambition, Helen became the first deafblind individual to earn a bachelor's degree from a college, published her own autobiography when she was just 22, and in the early 20th century became famous across the world as both an author and speaker. The Top 5 Greatest American Women profiles each and every one of these American icons, examining their contributions to history and their lasting legacies.

"Susan, what is he saying?" Betty asked, looking frightened and hurt. "He's saying we're all prostitutes." Susan felt blood drained from her face. Never in her entire life had anyone struck an accusation, like that, in her heart with such force. Susan, a vacationing, movie-star hunting, raven haired vixen, is determined to meet movie stars at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, an exotic movie star haunt, but she is out of luck. Instead she meets Naval Officers and she, along with her three girlfriends, moves that late-night party onboard a big Navy boat, a battleship, late Saturday night, December 6th, 1941. Much to her shock and surprise, she was carried off to War the next morning. Charging out of Pearl Harbor, that Battleship, the USS West Virginia, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Wallace, who had the foresight and the luck to predict the attack, narrowly escapes being sunk in the channel while under vicious air assault. Once out into open waters, Wallace resolves to turn the tables and hunt the Japanese. Meanwhile, Susan finds herself compromised; she should never have sexed up Julius. Gotten that Negro Steward so lust filled, so sexed up that he'd jumped her the first chance he'd had. She'd just been playing games with a Creep, now look what happened Now, he had naked pictures of her Potential blackmail pictures that could RUIN HER DREAMS Susan is hellbent on destroying those pictures even as the West Virginia plows northwest alone after the Japanese fleet. Yet, Wallace, using West Virginia's scout planes, finds that Japanese fleet as it steams home victorious. Warning: This Novel is Historical Adventure Fiction intended as entertainment, set at the outbreak of World War II, in a time where Racial Discrimination was rife as was Racial Segregation. African-Americans were referred to as Negros and in the pre-war US Navy, which was heavily segregated and they were only allowed to serve as messmen, commonly known as stewards. As an aside, Pearl Harbor provided the impetus to open the US Navy for African-American naval service beyond messmen. The intention of this book is to highlight the Racism of that era and become sensitive to it, while exposing the adverse effects of slavery.

Unfinished Austen: Interpreting "Catharine", "Lady Susan", "The Watsons" and "Sanditon"

Unfinished Austen: Interpreting "Catharine", "Lady Susan", "The Watsons" and "Sanditon"

Unfinished Austen examines four texts that Jane Austen left incomplete: Catharine, or the Bower (1792–-3), Lady Susan (1795?), The Watsons (1803–-4?) and Sanditon (1817), none of them published till well after her death. Since very little in manuscript form survives from the six famous novels, these four manuscript texts offer insight into the novelist in the process of creation. They also problematize the romance plot prominent in the published novels by presenting this in a nebulous or incipient state that underlines its artificiality. These texts sometimes show how the romance plot is inflected by the financial condition in which young marriageable women can find themselves. Moreover, the stories (other than Catharine) have aroused the interest of many later writers—including writers for theatre and screen—who are eager to complete or to amplify them. They may do this through developing the stories to some kind of dénouement. Perhaps more intriguingly, however, these texts induce some writers to question the very enterprise of concluding an unfinished text.

The 1979 publication of Susan Gubar and Sandra M. Gilbert’s ground-breaking study The Madwoman in the Attic marked a founding moment in feminist literary history as much as feminist literary theory. In their extensive study of nineteenth-century women’s writing, Gubar and Gilbert offer radical re-readings of Jane Austen, the Brontës, Emily Dickinson, George Eliot and Mary Shelley tracing a distinctive female literary tradition and female literary aesthetic. Gubar and Gilbert raise questions about canonisation that continue to resonate today, and model the revolutionary importance of re-reading influential texts that may seem all too familiar
