1000 tulosta hakusanalla Lucile Lhoste
Before Chanel there was Lucile. She was one of the world’s most glamorous women and the most famous fashionista of the Edwardian age. Yet, couturiere Lucile, Lady Duff Gordon was born as just plain Lucy Sutherland and grew up in a stone farmhouse in Ontario, Canada. How she went from a backwoods farm to presiding over an international fashion empire is a remarkable story of unshakeable determination and female achievement at a time when it was thought that a woman’s place was in the home. Unsinkable Lucile is a lavishly illustrated story of Lucile’s lively childhood, her rise to the top of the fashion world and her survival of the Titanic disaster and its aftermath, during which she was unjustly vilified. Time and time again, she proved that nothing could sink her spirits or stop her drive to innovate and create. Among Lucile’s many innovations were the first fashion shows, the first fashion models and the Edwardian craze for oversized hats. She also helped free women from the corset and coined the word “chic.” Lucile was also a fashion adviser to millions and the creator of clothes seen in over 115 movies. Replete with historical photographs and beautiful painting by award-winning illustrator Laurie McGaw, Unsinkable Lucile is a humorous, touching and empowering tale of a woman who beat the odds, never backed down and changed the world of fashion forever.
Remembering Lucile

The University of Colorado has long recognized Dr. Ruth Cave Flowers as its first African American graduate. But in 1918--six years before Flowers's graduation in 1924--Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Jones received her bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado (though she was not allowed to "walk" at graduation, nor is she pictured in the 1018 CU yearbook). In Remembering Lucile, author Polly McLean depicts the rise of the African American middle class through the historical journey of Lucile and her family from slavery in northern Virginia to middle-class life in the American West, using their personal story as a lens through which to examine the greater experience of middle-class Blacks in the early twentieth century. The first-born daughter of emancipated slaves, Lucile refused to be defined by the racist and sexist climate of her times, settling on a career path in teaching that required great courage in the face of pernicious Jim Crow laws. Embracing her sister's dream for higher education and W. E. B. DuBois's ideology, she placed education and intelligence at the forefront of her life, teaching in places where she could most benefit African American students. Over her 105 years she was an eyewitness to spectacular, inspiring, and tragic moments in American history, including horrific lynchings and systemic racism in housing and business opportunities, as well as the success of women's suffrage and Black-owned businesses and educational institutions. Remembering Lucile employs a unique blend of Black feminist historiography and wider discussions of race, gender, class, religion, politics, and education to illuminate major events in African American history and culture, as well as the history of the University of Colorado and its relationship to Black students and alumni, as it has evolved from institutional racism to welcoming acceptance. This extensive biography paints a vivid picture of a strong, extraordinary Black woman who witnessed an extraordinary time in America and rectifies her omission from CU's institutional history. The book fills an important gap in the literature of the history of Blacks in the Rocky Mountain region and will be of significance to anyone interested in American history.

An authentic collection of over 150 letters from a World War I soldier to his beloved, beginning with his deployment from his Chicago hometown in 1917, until the end of the war in late 1918. His very eloquent letters bring the reader inside a WWI soldier's life, from boot camp in Fort Logan, Texas, to the trenches of France. He chronicles, firsthand, many familiar historical figures and events, while depicting both the similarities and changes in American life almost a century ago. Recently, additional letters were added, provided by the soldier's family.
