World War II completely disrupted life in the United States and throughout the world, and it was an empowering turning point in U.S. women's history. Some women joined the armed forces as nurses and pilots. Some went to work outside the home in factories producing munitions, and building ships and airplanes. Some even became spies! But despite all these accomplishments, women were rarely given the recognition they deserved or the same benefits as their male counterparts. This book tells their story. Women are sometimes called the silent protagonists of history. But since before the founding of our nation until now, women have organized, marched, and inspired. They forced change and created opportunity. With engaging text, fun facts, photography, infographics, and art, this new set of books examines how individual women of differing races and socioeconomic status took a stand, and how groups of women lived and fought throughout the history of this country. It looks at how they celebrated victories that included the right to vote, the right to serve their country, and the right to equal employment. The aim of this much-needed set of five books is to bring herstory to young readers!

Elizabeth Taylor was one of the major film stars of the twentieth century, embodying all the glamour and allure of Hollywood stardom. Yet her achievements as an actress have often been overshadowed by her beauty and tumultuous life off-screen. To redress this imbalance, Susan Smith offers an illuminating study of Elizabeth Taylor's work in film, exploring her fascinating trajectory from child to adult star. Smith reveals the influence that Taylor's early work exerted over her later career and the ways in which her on-screen identity is profoundly rooted in her association with animals and nature. Smith carefully unpicks what made Taylor such a distinctive and dynamic on-screen performer – from the expressive use she made of her eyes to the dramatic significance of her voice – and considers the importance of certain professional collaborations that Taylor forged during her career, most notably her acting partnership with Montgomery Clift.
At long last, here is the paperback edition of beloved columnist and author Susan L. Taylor's bestselling collection of spiritual writings on overcoming the challenges of everyday life.

A bit short of fifty years old, happily married, with three wonderful children in various stages of leaving the nest, she felt truly blessed.

But that was not to be! That pivotal phone call precipitated six years of strange and inexplicable happenings that led them to an unknown place, where they lived and worked for almost twenty years.This is a true story. Autobiographical in nature, it documents Susan's life from the religious fervor of her childhood to the total upheaval of her life-long faith to a personal spiritual transformation, resulting from a raised consciousness that, to this day, remains a total enigma to her.The incidents were factual. The interpretation of these facts was personal. What transpired as a result of Susan being open to the Mystery as it unfolded was truly Beyond Belief!"--Back cover.
From New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker comes a scorching Silverstone installment that finds a former military man racing to save the woman he loves as danger closes in on them both. Former military man turned government assassin Kellan "Eagle" Trowbridge isn't looking for love. He'd rather keep his head down at his cover job as an employee of Silverstone Towing. That all changes, however, when he meets Taylor Cardin. Beautiful, smart, and witty Taylor instantly falls for the mysterious tow truck driver, who comforts her both in the aftermath of the car crash she sees firsthand and when the police dismiss her as a credible witness because of her prosopagnosia, or face blindness. Eagle, on the other hand, can remember every person he's ever met--and the two counterparts forge an immediate connection. But someone else is just as intrigued by Taylor's unique condition as Eagle is...and his intentions are downright deadly. Soon, Eagle and Taylor are too caught up in each other to see the danger that's approaching. But as time runs out, they'll discover their love isn't the only thing fighting to survive.
