Laura Smith Haviland (1808-1898) was an American social reformer, suffragette, and abolitionist. She notably played an important role in the Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses created in the United States during the early to the mid-19th century for use by African American slaves in order to escape into free states or Canada. First published in 1882, "A Woman's Life-Work" contains several stories exploring black-white relationships before the emancipation, together with a slave narrative from "Uncle Philip". She provides gritty descriptions of the abuse slaves were subjected to, as well as descriptions of the prisons, soup kitchens, refugee camps, and hospitals during the war. Contents include: "He had his Dream by Paul Laurence Dunbar", "Preface", "Early Life", "Bereavements", "Anti-Slavery Experiences", "An Ohio School-Teacher", "The Underground Railway", "Fugitive Slaves Assisted", "Christian and Educational Work", "Fugitives in Canada", "Rescue of Slaves", etc. Brilliant Women are proudly republishing this classic book in a brand new edition complete with an introductory poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

La Fotografia l'Anima di ci che Immortala. E' il ricordo perpetuo che si tramanda nel tempo. Il sorriso e il dolore di un istante vissuto. E' un diario che si rinnova, che si sfoglia alle carezze delle dita, al gocciare di una lacrima, all'urlo di gioia, una cartolina intrisa di esperienze vissute, l'attimo fuggente che non si ripete. La Fotografia il teatro della vita, tutti possono recitare il proprio ruolo, felice o tragico che sia. E' il sorriso, l'esternazione che resta scolpito e sopravvive nel tempo. E' la magia che si accende, che fiorisce e ci commuove. Non c' persona al mondo, animale, piante e oggetto che non sia stata impressa su una pellicola, la pellicola della vita e dell'eterno tempo. Dopo anni d'intenso lavoro e di estenuante ricerca, grazie al prezioso aiuto del mio compianto amico e collaboratore Sebastiano Di Camillo, posso finalmente realizzare "Le mie Cartoline di Lauro" del mio amato paese, cos che i posteri possano vederle e vivere l'emozione da noi vissute.

Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d'Arc, IPA: 6 January c. 1412- 30 May 1431), nicknamed "The Maid of Orl ans" (French: La Pucelle d'Orl ans) is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint. Joan of Arc was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle, a peasant family, at Domr my in north-east France. Joan said she received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent Joan to the siege of Orl ans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims. This long-awaited event boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory. On 23 May 1430, she was captured at Compi gne by the Burgundian faction which was allied with the English. She was later handed over to the English, 6] and then put on trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais Pierre Cauchon on a variety of charges. 7] After Cauchon declared her guilty she was burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, dying at about nineteen years of age.
