Jag sätter på mig mina strumpor, skor, tar min jacka och går ut via terrassen. Den dörren jämrar sig ingenting, det vet jag sedan innan. Blomsterarrangemang i svarta krukor står strategiskt utplacerade på den halvcirkelformade terrassen. Det luktar friskt såsom en augustikväll ofta gör, om dagen har varit ljummen med klarblå himmel. Jag rundar trädgårdslandet och lämnar sedan mitt liv.Vad skulle få dig att bara lämna din tillvaro för något helt okänt? Astrid, Ingrid och Wararat. Tre kvinnor i olika åldrar, skeden av livet och med olika bakgrunder. De känner inte varandra. Ingen av dem vet att de andra existerar. Ändå kommer de bli ovärderliga i varandras liv. En helg i augusti väljer alla tre att lämna de liv de är vana vid. Utan att förklara, utan att själva riktigt förstå. Av en slump hamnar de alla på samma geografiska plats långt ifrån Sverige. Ibland räcker det för att man ska knyta an till varandra. Snart kommer det visa sig att de har mer gemensamt än vad man kan tro. Alla tre flyr från någonting: Minnen, relationer, döden. Flykten ledde dem bort, men också till varandra.
Ingrid av Skänninge var välkänd i medeltidens Sverige. Mycket lite är skrivet om henne. Källorna är sparsamma. Detta är den första romanen. Ingrid förde c:a 60 år innan Birgitta. Rimligen blev hon både förebild och inspirationskälla för det blivande helgonet. Hon bar familjenamnet Elofsdotter. Författaren ser den åsyftade Elof som bror till Birger jarl, en uppfattning han inte är ensam om. Därmed framstår Ingrid som kusin till jarlens söner Valdemar och Magnus. Tidigt år Ingrid en uppenbarelse av Maria, som anförtror henne ett uppdrag: hon blir grundare av landets första kvinnliga dominikanerkloster. Under sin dramatiska levnad, endast 42 år, möter hon sina kusiner i utmanande situationer. Munkar från Visby gör en livsfarlig resa för att få se henne. En munk från Skara får höra en omtumlande berättelse. Han förmedlar den till sin vän domprosten. En sentida Skardomprost får tag i berättelsen, och här föreligger den.

Til forskel fra sine forgængere blev Frederik 9. set som en mand af folket, og takket være dronning Ingrids indflydelse fik han forlenet sit regentskab med kongelig værdighed. Sammen moderniseredede det danske kongehus og blev symbol på en forbilledlig modern dansk kernefamilie. De evnede kunsten at være både folkelige og kongelige i en tid, hvor mediehåndteringen blev stadig vigtigere for monarkiet. Bogen indgår i Kroneserien, en serie af mindre bøger om det danske kongehus og relaterede emner udgivet i samarbejde med Kongernes Samling.

*Includes pictures *Includes quotes and summaries of the famous Hitchcock movies *Includes bibliographies for further reading *Includes a table of contents Considering that her film career lasted just six years, it would seem as though the reputation of Grace Kelly far outweighs her actual output. Indeed, from the time of her arrival in Hollywood in 1951 through her final film, High Society, in 1956, Kelly acted in just 11 films, leaving viewers to wonder whether Kelly was still in the beginning of her career or whether High Society was a proper culmination to an extraordinarily brief stay in the film industry? Ultimately, it is might be most accurate to state that Kelly was still in the prime of her career, but it's unclear what direction her career would have taken, as well as who inherited the void she left. Despite the short resume, Kelly is one of America's most famous actresses, and she left an indelible impact on Hollywood. Kelly brought a well-heeled, almost regal quality that deviated from the film noir roles and musical showgirls who had populated the screen during the 1930s and 1940s, and it is this new identity Kelly brought to the motion picture industry that remains her overriding trademark. Ingrid Bergman's fame cannot be doubted, but the international quality of her career has prevented most people from gaining a complete understanding of her filmography. Moreover, the immense success of her most famous films obscured her other achievements; one of Bergman's persistent lamentations late in her career was that even though she appeared in other films she deemed more significant, the only film of hers that people wanted to discuss was Casablanca. As a result, her early films in Sweden, the Italian Neorealist films she made with famous director and future husband Roberto Rossellini, and her French film with Jean Renoir have all been relegated to the margins. Bergman is thus recognized as a Hollywood star rather than an actress who should be identified with an array of different film industries, reducing the enormous scope of her career to a relatively small proportion of her filmography. In 1939, Olivia de Havilland had her most memorable role as Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind (1939), perhaps the most famous movie in American history, but Hollywood legend has it that she only got the role because her own younger sister, Joan Fontaine, was asked to audition for the part and recommended Olivia instead so that she could audition for Scarlett O'Hara. Although Fontaine and de Havilland would make history by becoming the only sisters to both win an Academy Award for Best Actress, that anecdote was just one of the various stories about the siblings that has shed light on their notoriously contentious and complicated relationship. As Fontaine once put it, "I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it " De Havilland herself once said, "Joan is very bright and sharp and can be cutting." An art student in her early 20s, Novak found herself in Los Angeles by chance and appeared as an extra in a 1954 film to earn money, only to be almost immediately discovered by Columbia and turned into a star when she appeared in Picnic (1955). Picnic began a 10 year run that witnessed Novak become one of the biggest names in Hollywood, starring in major hits like Pal Joey (1957), Middle of the Night (1959), The Notorious Landlady (1962), and Of Human Bondage (1964). However, Novak's most famous role was as one of Alfred Hitchcock's legendary "icy blondes" in Vertigo (1958), beguiling Jimmy Stewart's character to the point of madness in what is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. In addition to being one of the country's most recognizable and alluring sex icons, the girl who originally wanted to be an artist had reached the upper echelon of Hollywood itself, all before she turned 30.
De var verdens beste langdistanseløpere, men også ulike personligheter som tok ulike valg. Rivaliseringen mellom Grete Waitz og Ingrid Kristiansen kulminerte under OL i 1984. Etter dette møttes de aldri igjen på friidrettsbanen. Hva var det som skjedde? Historien om Grete Waitz og Ingrid Kristiansen er den mest ikoniske duellen i norsk idrettshistorie. De endte med å revolusjonere ikke bare friidretten, men kvinneidretten i sin helhet. For det var ikke bare konkurrentene ved startstreken de måtte slå, men også en konservativ mannsdominert idrettsbevegelse. Alle idrettsfortellinger handler om drømmer og ambisjoner, også denne. Alle rivaler føler en blanding av beundring og mistro overfor hverandre, en fascinerende blanding av storsinn og sjalusi. Historien om rivalene Grete Waitz og Ingrid Kristiansen er både larger-than-life og dypt gjenkjennelig.

Från 1800-talets salongskultur till 2000-talets bloggkultur, från 1600-talets ikonografiska jungfrukult till dekonstruerade subjektskategorier i nutida konst, från kvinnligt till queert rör sig dessa tjugoen essäer, som fångar genusforskningen i dess fulla bredd. Bland bidragen möter oss den manlige losern i samtida skönlitteratur, kvinnliga polarfarare, homomän på Amerikabåtarna och fotokonstnären Cindy Shermans clowner. Här studeras utanförskapet i 2000-talets svenska arbetarlitteratur, det gäckande könet hos Ninni Holmqvist och bilden av familjen i Bangs kåserier. Här granskas det omtvistade begreppet moderskap, biografiskrivandets problem och den heterosexuella hegemonin i skildringarna av bondesamhället. Dessutom väcks den könspolitiskt och -teoretiskt brännande frågan: är motstånd möjligt? Moderniteter: Text, bild, kön är en vänbok till Ingrid Holmquist, en av den nordiska kvinno- och genusforskningens verkliga pionjärer.

In 1999, the American Film Institute released its list of the 50 greatest Hollywood stars of the 20th century, and selecting the 10 best actresses out of the bunch was certainly a tall task. The competition was so stacked that women like Ginger Rogers, Grace Kelly and Rita Hayworth were not even among the Top 10. So who were the Top 10 women selected by the AFI? Aside from being one of the most recognized and acclaimed actresses in history, Katharine Hepburn's career is also of great importance because she forced Americans to reevaluate their expectations for female behavior, both in films themselves and off the movie set as well. As society began to pay greater attention to the importance of strong roles for women, Hepburn's career gained an even greater importance as a fiercely individual figure who offered a daring alternative to the conventions of femininity that had long existed in American culture. Bette Davis presided over Hollywood at a time in which the film industry was at its most influential. Every actress from Katharine Hepburn to Ingrid Bergman and Ginger Rodgers, themselves now considered among Hollywood's greatest icons, lived in the shadow of Bette Davis. For someone whose career ended over 30 years ago, Audrey Hepburn continues to retain her popularity and exert a strong influence over how people view beauty and sophistication. She remains an American icon, despite the fact that she did not even move to the United States until 1953 (at the age of 24) and spent the majority of her life living in Europe, while her characters in films such as Roman Holiday (1953) and Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) are still held up as the paragon of delicate femininity and elegance. At times during her career, Bergman was the darling of Hollywood, but at other times she was literally a pariah. It is all too common to remember Bergman for her performance in Casablanca, forgetting the fact that she was effectively exiled from Hollywood for several years during her romance with Roberto Rossellini. Of all the great movie stars, there may be none more enigmatic than Greta Garbo, who remains internationally famous despite the fact her life and career raise more questions than answers. How did a Swedish actress with very little film acting experience in her native land arrive in the United States and achieve instant stardom? Few actresses lived their lives in the public eye more than Marilyn Monroe, and yet her life remains shrouded in mystery to this day. While it is common knowledge that Marilyn's life is a rags-to-riches story, her life is bookended by hazy details surrounding her early life and even more mysterious death. In many ways, Elizabeth Taylor enjoyed being in the public spotlight and living the lifestyle of the rich and famous, and her personal life very much resembled a performance suitable for Hollywood. Taylor faced great adversity throughout her life, including being married on eight different occasions to seven different spouses and fighting battles with weight and drug addiction. Judy Garland might be known today based more on her demise than anything else, and there's no denying that one of the most fascinating (and tragic) aspects of her life story is the manner in which her downward spiral occurred with the same rapid progression as her meteoric ascent. When Marlene Dietrich first became a household name in the United States, she introduced a new standard for female sexuality on screen. Her performance in The Blue Angel (1930) not only stands as one of the most glamorous roles ever played but also one of the frankest depictions of the femme fatale ever captured on screen.
