Jane Armstrong Tucker was a Boston stenographer scrabbling to get by as a single woman in the Gilded Age, until she was offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Madeleine Pollard was a Kentuckian with humble roots who had used charisma to work her way into the parlors of the Washington, DC, elite. Tucker hid behind an alias—Agnes Parker—but Pollard had a secret, too. Alias Agnes details the story of Jane Tucker, who took a job as an undercover detective with a ten-week mission. Her target: Madeleine Pollard, former mistress of Congressman William C. P. Breckinridge, whom she had sued for breach of promise when he failed to marry her. Exploring the intricacies of this trial and a scandal that captivated the nation, author Elizabeth A. DeWolfe demonstrates that a shared lack of power did not always lead to alliances among women. DeWolfe uncovers the strategies women used to make their way in the world, drawing parallels between the previously forgotten and incomplete tales of Tucker, Pollard, and the women who testified in the trial—from formerly enslaved persons, to white socialites, to single government clerks, to divorced physicians. Written in engaging prose with all the intrigue and suspense of a detective tale, Alias Agnes chronicles the lives of women at the cusp of the twentieth century—the opportunities that beckoned them and the challenges that thwarted their dreams.

Shaking the Faith

Shaking the Faith

Elizabeth de Wolfe

Palgrave Macmillan
2002
sidottu
In the first half of the 19th century, Mary Marshall Dyer (1780-1867) was at the center of an aggressive anti-Shaker movement - an informal yet effective group joined by their despisal of Shakerism and their determination to thwart the new faith. With her husband and their five children, Dyer had been a Shaker for two years, but as her husband grew increasingly attracted to Shakerism, Dyer's own commitment waned, and when she announced she was leaving the sect and requested the return of her children , neither her husband nor the Shaker authorities would relinquish them. Distraught, angry, and alone, Dyer turned her anguish into action and embarked on a fifty year campaign against the Shakers. A linchpin of anti-Shaker activity, Dyer wrote numerous articles against the sect, as well as five books - and was the centerpiece of the Shakers' counterattack. The American public - especially in New England, where the Shaker movement was based - followed the debate with great interest, not least because it offered titillating details into the mysterious sect, but also because Dyer's experiences reflected profound changes in the family, religion, and gender that Americans faced in the years prior to the Civil War. In this compelling book, De Wolfe suggests that while neither the Shakers nor Dyer would agree, the latter, a mother without children and a wife without a husband, and the former, a celibate communal sect that disavowed the marriage bond, shared similar positions on the margins of society.

Dear Elizabeth: A father's letter to his daughter about men, women, marriage and creating love for a lifetime.

Norman A. MacLean

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2010
nidottu
"Dear Elizabeth" began as a letter to my teenage daughter, to help her define and pursue love, happiness, and marriage not as our culture does, but as God's Word, the Bible, instructs us to. From my perspective as a man, husband and father, I wanted to help her understand how her husband's needs, thinking and way of expressing and receiving love may be different from her own. With wisdom gained through personal experience, marriage experts, authors and "regular" couples, I wanted to provide her with principles and insights to overcome common marital challenges. Specific issues addressed cover: what to do when the "in-love" feelings subside, happiness and marital expectations, how do you say "I love you", questions to ask before marriage, God's design and purposes for marriage.

Dear Elizabeth: A Play in Letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and Back Again: A Play in Letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and

Sarah Ruhl

Farrar, Straus and Giroux
2014
nidottu
From playwright Sarah Ruhl, Dear Elizabeth is a moving, innovative play based on one of the greatest correspondences in literary history--the letters of Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop. From 1947 to 1977, Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop exchanged more than four hundred letters. Describing the writing of their poems, their travel and daily illnesses, the pyrotechnics of their romantic relationships, and the profound affection they had for each other, these missives are the most intimate record available of both poets and one of the greatest correspondences in American literature. The playwright Sarah Ruhl fell in love with these letters and set herself an unusual challenge: to turn this thirty-year exchange into a stage play, and to bring to life the friendship of two writers who were rarely even in the same country. As innovative as it is moving, Dear Elizabeth gives voice to a conversation that lived mostly in writing, illuminating some of the finest poems of the twentieth century and the minds that produced them.

"When a man meets the woman with whom he is destined to fall in love, he knows."● Ranked #1 Best Seller in Amazon's Historical Regency Fiction ●Praise for A Lasting Love Affair"A Lasting Love Affair is a light and quick escapist read that kept me company at a time when I needed a little Darcy pick-me-up, and I'm looking forward to reading more by this author." - Diary of an Eccentric"The writing in the story was very good. While the story was very fast moving, it flowed well and the language was very appropriate to the time, very much in the style of Jane Austen. This was a fun, quick, easy read, not without its angst, but also with touches of humour and romance." - Laughing with Lizzie"Such as any book of Ms P O Dixon, this is such a lovely mix of the original and its variation." - NetGalley Mr. Darcy was not looking to fall in love.
