Failure is Impossible: Susan B. Anthony in Her Own Words

Failure is Impossible: Susan B. Anthony in Her Own Words

Lynn Sherr

Crown Publishing Group (NY)
1996
nidottu
"Susan B. Anthony didn't live long enough to see women get the vote, but her tireless dedication shines through on every page."--The Washington Post Book World Failure Is Impossible brings together--for the first time--a wide-ranging, spirited collection of Susan B. Anthony's speeches, letters, and quotes, linked by contemporary reports and Lynn Sherr's insightful biographical commentary. By allowing the legendary suffragist to speak for herself, Sherr brushes the dust off of the Susan B. Anthony icon, introducing a new generation to the brave, brilliant, funny, and, most of all, prescient woman she really was. "Lynn Sherr has done us all a great service by bringing to spectacular light the too long neglected story of one of our greatest patriots--a genuine hero who helped change for the better the lives of a majority of American citizens."--Ken Burns

Conversations with Susan Sontag

Conversations with Susan Sontag

University Press of Mississippi
1995
nidottu
Here is a collection of interviews that cover the period from 1967 through 1993. Many are translations of interviews that originally appeared in French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, or Swedish periodicals. Several are published here for the first time in any language. Giving attention to Sontag's education and the development of her aesthetic and moral temperament, they cover Sontag's rich career as a distinguished writer, filmmaker, dramatist, and cultural critic.Born in New York City, reared in Arizona and California, educated at Berkeley, Chicago, Harvard, Oxford, the Sorbonne, appointed to teaching positions in English, philosophy, and religion, she is a woman whose restlessly independent and resolutely transcultural temperament was already well established when she boxed up the manuscript of The Benefactor and submitted it to Farrar & Straus in 1962. By 1992, when her much acclaimed novel The Volcano Lover: A Romance was published, The Benefactor alone had gone through twenty-one editions in nine languages.

Finding Adam Empowering Susan

Finding Adam Empowering Susan

Adam Evans always felt he was a little different, although he never could put his finger on exactly why. One thing was for certain: struggling with the paralyzing anxiety disorder known as agoraphobia didn't help matters any. There had to be more to this irrational fear than simple psychological malaise.In his quest to overcome this disability, Adam would delve deep into his own mind and discover a connection buried deep beneath generations of angst. He would learn more about himself - and the link to a dark chapter in American history - than he ever could have imagined.

Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag

Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag

Sibyl Kempson

53rd State Press
2016
pokkari
Set in Alabama at the scene of James Agee and Walker Evans's famous reporting, Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag brings Sibyl Kempson's attention to the ethical snares of poetic journalism and what it means to work on the land. She interrogates the strange energy of images, both their potential to anesthetize response, and their invitation to be approached as hermeneutic thresholds between visible and invisible orders. Interwoven with sources from Agee and Walker to Sontag, to inscriptions on Assyrian mythological seals, and nested in a set of images from other performances, the play holds forth in its own genre, a bad-ventriloquism visitation seed-eating prayer ceremony with songs. The entire score, composed by Kempson's longtime collaborator Ashley Turba, completes the book.

Wise Words: How Susan Isaacs Changed Parenting

Wise Words: How Susan Isaacs Changed Parenting

Caroline Vollans

Routledge
2017
sidottu
"Harassed" writes: "Your answers to correspondents are exceedingly clear, and when I read them I say, ‘That is just the answer I should think of’, though I believe I should have great difficulty when it came actually to putting it into words! However, I cannot answer my own problems, so will you please help me?" (20 August 1930)This much-needed collection brings together the columns of parenting adviser Ursula Wise, "agony aunt" for The Nursery World between 1929 and 1936, and pseudonym for the eminent educationalist and pioneering psychoanalyst Susan Isaacs.Wise’s replies, informed by theories in education, psychology and psychoanalysis, provide an insight into the development of modern, child-centred attitudes to parenting, with remarkably fresh and relevant advice. The letters are passionate, urgent, occasionally provocative, sometimes funny and always thoughtful. Topics from behaviour and temperament, anxieties and phobias, to play and education are explored and each theme is introduced and contextualised in contemporary parenting approaches.Bringing pivotal theories from the fields of education, child psychology and psychoanalysis into dialogue, this is an essential read for early years practitioners, teachers, course leaders and those studying in the field of early years education and child psychoanalysis. The continued relevance of Isaacs’ advice for modern parenting also makes this an enjoyable and informative read for parents. It is also an excellent resource for those interested in social history and the little known contributions made by women pioneers.
