"Constance Ring" er Amalie Skrams debutroman fra 1885. Den var en uhørt krass kritikk av den økonomiske og seksuelle undertrykkingen i ekteskapet. Især provoserte hennes åpenhjertige skildring av kvinnelig seksualitet og av dobbeltmoralen i det borgerlige ekteskapet. Helt uvitende om alt som har med erotikk å gjøre, gifter embetsmannsdatteren Constance seg med den eldre forretningsmannen Ring. Hun reagerer med gru og et ønske om skilsmisse da ekteskapets realiteter og mannens troløshet går opp for henne. Men samfunnets fordømmelse tvinger henne til å bli, og etter å ha blitt enke, og lært flere menn å kjenne, sitter hun igjen fullstendig desillusjonert. Amalie Skrams dyptloddende skildring av følelser, seksualitet og bevissthet har kraft og gir innsikt mer enn hundre år etter at førsteutgaven utkom.
Romanen indgår i Gyldendal Nordisk-serien Constance er 19 år, da hun bliver gift med den ældre og livserfarne hr. Ring. Spændt på at forlade barndommen og begynde sit voksenliv træder hun håbefuldt ind i ægteskabet. Men livet med Ring er fyldt med ufrihed og utroskab, og da hun forsøger at frigøre sig, bliver hun konfronteret med sin tids brutale ulighed: En kvinde har brug for en mand for at leve og opretholde sin status. Constance er fanget i ægteskabet, og hver dag slutter mørket tættere om hende. Constance Ring er en rå og uafrystelig fortælling om ikke at eje sin egen krop, om hele sit liv at være underlagt andres magt og blive knust af det. Constance Ring er den første af Amalie Skrams fire ægteskabsromaner; romaner som gennem deres stærke kvindebilleder og kompromisløse afsløringer af livets realiteter demaskerer tidens løgne, især når det kommer til misforholdet mellem mænd og kvinders vilkår i 1880’ernes mandsdominerede samfund. Nyoversat af Anna Jessen i samarbejde med Ida Jessen og med forord af Stine Askov. Gyldendal Nordisk er kendte og glemte klassikere fra den tid, hvor det nordiske selvbillede bliver skabt på diskussioner om køn, klasse, tro og moral. Det er radikale værker, der forandrede verden og som stadig er spillevende. Denne bog er oversat af Ida Jessen og Anna Jessen
Constance Mozart föddes i Tyskland för 250 år sedan. Under de nio år som hon var gift med Wolfgang A. Mozart skapade han sina bästa verk.

Vilket hon fortsatte med även sedan hon gift om sig efter 18 år med den danske diplomaten Georg Nicolai Nissen, som skrev den första stora biografin om Mozart. De levde bland annat 10 år i Köpenhamn. Constance dog 80 år gammal i Mozarts födelsestad Salzburg. En biografi av musikforskaren Viveca Servatius.

In the spring of 1895 the life of Constance Wilde changed irrevocably. Up until the conviction of her husband Oscar for homosexual crimes, she had held a privileged place in society. Part of a gilded couple, she was a popular children's author, a fashion icon and a leading campaigner for women's rights. Mrs. Oscar Wilde was a phenomenon in her own right. But that spring Constance's entire life was eclipsed by scandal. Forced to flee to the Continent with her two sons, her glittering literary and political career ended abruptly. Changing her name, she lived in exile until her death. Franny Moyle now tells Constance's story with a fresh eye and remarkable new material. Drawing on numerous unpublished letters, she brings to life the story at the heart of fin-de-siecle London and the Aesthetic Movement.

The problem is, she's still a human woman, and even she can't keep this up for long. As she starts to fade her friends figure out a way to help: Destroy the world.
