Wideview Books. 1978. Soft Cover. 0872236722 . 661 pages, pictorial wraps, very good. From the back cover, 'A heartwarming portrait of a young woman's life in pre-1914 England. A heartbreaking record of the holocaust that followed. But, most of all, a love story. Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain is one of the most famous and best-loved autobiographies of the First World War. Both a passionate record of those agonizing years and a loving memorial to a lost generation, it is, in spirit and impact, as powerful as that classic novel of World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front. Vera Brittain (1896-1970) grew up in provincial comfort in the north of England. In 1915 she abandoned her studies at Oxford to enlist as a nurse in the armed forces. She served throughout the war, in London, Malta, and at the front in France. At war's end, she devoted herself to the causes of peace and feminism. She worte 29 books in all, but it was Testament of Youth that established her reputation and made her one of the best-loved writers of her time.' . more information

Ms. Brown shares her own knowledge along with extensive research. . more information

From the back cover: "Begun in 1690, this diary of a forty-four-year-old German Jewish widow, mother of fourteen children, tells how she guided the financial and personal destinies of her children, how she engaged in trade, ran her own factory, and promoted the welfare of her large family. Her memoir, a rare account of an ordinary woman, enlightens not just her children, for whom she wrote it, but all posterity about her life and community. Gluckel speaks to us with determination and humor from the seventeenth century. She tells of war, plague, pirates, soldiers, the hysteria of the false messiah Sabbtai Zevi, murder, bankruptcy, wedding feasts, births, deaths, in fact, of all the human events that befell her during her lifetime. She writes in a matter of fact way of the frightening and precarious situation under which the Jews of northern Germany lived. Accepting this situation as given, she boldly and fearlessly promotes her business, her family and her faith. This memoir is a document in the history of women and of life in the seventeenth century.

Wells once said of her 'Bertie thinks, I write, but you DO.' Such is one of the briefest, truest tributes to the life of Dora Black Russell, one of the century's first, most spirited champions of the cause of women. Dora Black emerged from an Edwardian childhood into a period of women's emancipation, of industrialism, revolution, and the rising working class. These problems were to remain lifelong concerns. While at Cambridge University during World War I, she began her association with Bertrand Russell, then in his early forties. Each separately visited Russia to see the results of the Bolshevik Revolution. Then both went to China, where their state of unmarried bliss and secular philosophy scandalized the Western delegations and missionaries but gave great encouragement to the Chinese. The pair believed passionately that love should be freely given and not subjected to possessive rights over the person, such as were embodied in the marriage laws of the time. . more information

From the dj: The renowned Jungian analyst shows here how contemporary women experience the process of individualism - C.G. Jung's term for the natural movement toward psychic wholeness needed in every life. The personal journeys of three of Woodman's clients - Kate, a graduate student; Mary, a dancer; and Rita, a sculptor -provide deep insight into the struggle required to bring feminine wisdom to consciousness in a patriarchal society, a struggle in which women are more fully engaged today than every before. Though each woman's account is strikingly unique, each also moves in a common direction; toward the harmony of body and spirit that the author calls 'conscious femininity.' Using the Grimms' fairy tale 'Allerleirauh' as an archetypal road map, Woodman outlines the landmarks found in every person's journey to inner wholeness and shows readers how to use the stories of Kate, Mary, and Rita as guides to the transformative process in themselves -with or without an analyst. . more information
