By: Anna Mae Walsh Burke

Proud Irish Heart is set in Ireland and in Miami, Florida in 1895. Kate Murray, seeking to escape a dismal life created by her cruel father, takes her sister’s place as the match-made bride of Michael Driscoll. She has loved him since she was fourteen, but he went to America to make his fortune. After arriving in Miami, Kate rejects Michael’s proposal of marriage, believing it is only based on duty and obligation, while she wants love. Kate starts a successful restaurant called The Proud Irish Heart, but she cannot free herself from her desire for Michael. She is unsuccessful in her attempts to get him to renew his marriage proposal. Her passion for him increases when she learns his body while caring for him during a life-threatening fever. She feeds him, saves him from death by the fever and the designs of a lying woman, and finally attempts a seduction of Michael all without success. Michael fears making a commitment to their marriage and desires only Kate’s friendship. Frustrated, Kate leaves Miami. Will Michael follow her and propose again?

Forces of Nature

The Women who Changed Science

By: Anna Reser,Leila McNeill

From the ancient world to the present women have been critical to the progress of science, yet their importance is overlooked, their stories lost, distorted, or actively suppressed. Forces of Nature sets the record straight and charts the fascinating history of women’s discoveries in science. In the ancient and medieval world, women served as royal physicians and nurses, taught mathematics, studied the stars, and practiced midwifery. As natural philosophers, physicists, anatomists, and botanists, they were central to the great intellectual flourishing of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. More recently women have been crucially involved in the Manhattan Project, pioneering space missions and much more. Despite their record of illustrious achievements, even today very few women win Nobel Prizes in science. In this thoroughly researched, authoritative work, you will discover how women have navigated a male-dominated scientific culture – showing themselves to be pioneers and trailblazers, often without any recognition at all. Included in the book are the stories of: Hypatia of Alexandria, one of the earliest recorded female mathematicians Maria Cunitz who corrected errors in Kepler’s work Emmy Noether who discovered fundamental laws of physics Vera Rubin one of the most influential astronomers of the twentieth century Jocelyn Bell Burnell who helped discover pulsars

Persuasive Fictions

Feminist Narrative and Critical Myth

By: Anna Wilson

From Mary Wollstonecraft's novels to Thelma and Louise or the prose and films of Audre Lorde, her book documents how the first reception of a feminist work - whether in the 1790s or the 1990s - generates a truly unpredictable history of personal and political responses among readers, including the later critical interpretations that try to decide whether a text successfully "resists" the dominant values and powers of its culture."--BOOK JACKET.

Educated for Freedom

The Incredible Story of Two Fugitive Schoolboys Who Grew Up to Change a Nation

By: Anna Mae Duane

The powerful story of two young men who changed the national debate about slavery In the 1820s, few Americans could imagine a viable future for black children. Even abolitionists saw just two options for African American youth: permanent subjection or exile. Educated for Freedom tells the story of James McCune Smith and Henry Highland Garnet, two black children who came of age and into freedom as their country struggled to grow from a slave nation into a free country. Smith and Garnet met as schoolboys at the Mulberry Street New York African Free School, an educational experiment created by founding fathers who believed in freedom’s power to transform the country. Smith and Garnet’s achievements were near-miraculous in a nation that refused to acknowledge black talent or potential. The sons of enslaved mothers, these schoolboy friends would go on to travel the world, meet Revolutionary War heroes, publish in medical journals, address Congress, and speak before cheering crowds of thousands. The lessons they took from their days at the New York African Free School #2 shed light on how antebellum Americans viewed black children as symbols of America’s possible future. The story of their lives, their work, and their friendship testifies to the imagination and activism of the free black community that shaped the national journey toward freedom.

Badly Behaved Women

The History of Modern Feminism

By: Anna-Marie Crowhurst

Badly Behaved Women is the illustrated story of the past 100 years of the women's movement, from suffrage, alleged bra burning and the politics of hair to Beyoncé, body positivity and #MeToo. In the early twentieth century, through ceaseless dedication and fearless campaigning, the women's movement achieved what had previously been unimaginable: a woman's right to vote. Four waves of feminism and a century on, the rich cultural history of this movement is truly worthy of celebration. Accompanied by stunning photographs, personal testimony essays from key figures and archive material from sources around the world, Anna-Marie Crowhurst's compelling and entertaining retelling of this multi-stranded, global and ongoing story also examines the flaws of the movement and the future of feminism.
