Summary

In "A Suffragette - My Own Story (Illustrated)," Emmeline Pankhurst offers a compelling and autobiographical account of her life as a stalwart leader of the women's suffrage movement in early 20th-century England. Pankhurst employs a passionate and evocative literary style, blending personal anecdotes with detailed political discourse, making her narrative both accessible and deeply moving. The book not only portrays the struggles faced by suffragettes but also situates these events within the broader context of feminist movements and social reform, shedding light on the critical intersections of gender, class, and politics of her time. Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) was a key figure in the British suffragette movement, co-founding the Women'Äôs Social and Political Union. Influenced by her own experiences and the societal constraints placed on women, Pankhurst dedicated her life to challenging these injustices. Her leadership and activism were pivotal, inspiring a generation of women to claim their rights, and her unique perspective enriches the narrative, grounding her advocacy in personal sacrifice and resilience. This illuminating account is essential for readers interested in women's history, social justice, and activism. Pankhurst'Äôs candid reflections provide not only a historical perspective but also inspiration for contemporary struggles for equality, making it a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern feminist movements.

    These stories were told to me by my friends and family. I've had to struggle with my disability for a long time. I want to write this book, I hope you find it interesting. It's from parts of my life that I've treasured. Especially with my relatives that I didn't know because we lived so far away, 550 miles away, from Indiana to Iowa. I loved our family vacations. You will find some stories from the bible. I hope you will see how important that book is to me. I have trouble every day. but I know He's in my life and without Him, I would not live. I know you have times when you've needed help. For a while, I couldn't even pray. I knew better but I had lost hope. I've had such help from the Veterans. I have friends now. And I trust those whom I know will be O.K. Please read the Biblical stories thoughtfully. They are scriptures passed down from six or seven thousand years ago.

    Despite being rejected by the Marines in 1972, Effin G kept his ambition and discipline. He was ultimately recruited by a private army in 1975 and participated in his first mission in 1976. This is a riveting story of how a young man uses the power of music, especially the music of The Grateful Dead, to help him through an amazing military adventure. The real characters show how a diverse group of Vietnam Era soldiers come together for an important cause: The War on Drugs. The details of the day-to-day drudgery, jungle survival tactics, boredom, and mind games of the mission give the reader an exciting look into the soldier’s mental part of war while the descriptions of the battles are intense and hair-raising. An unexpected twist throws the crew into a moral frenzy as life-and-death decisions are made that reverberate far beyond the confines of the lonesome jungle.

    In 1986, newspapers across America called it "the espionage case of the century." While serving as a security guard at the American Embassy, Sgt. Clayton Lonetree, a Native American marine, fell in love with a beautiful Russian woman. Then, a KGB officer posing as the woman' s "Uncle Sasha" recruited Lonetree to become a spy for the Soviet Union. The "sex-for-secrets Marine spy scandal"— as it was called by the press— had all the elements of a great novel. As the investigation proceeded, more marines were implicated, but after a witch-hunt that ruined many reputations and careers, only Lonetree was brought to trial. In this account, journalist Rodney Barker reveals information he obtained from KGB officers— as well as U.S. military and intelligence personnel— which raises questions about whether justice was served in Lonetree's trial.

    My name is Hazel Lamb…Lindsey, but my momma called me Fireball. I am 84 years old. I only got one year of schooling, but I am self-taught. I worked hard all my life. I plowed fields, cut timber, raised hogs, and managed several businesses. I got married 11 times. I buried two of my babies, but I brung up three children of my own and four step children. I met some of my husbands – and lots of boyfriends – while playing guitar, singing, and buck dancing at country jubilees. I survived cancer, and one of my husbands choked me to death, but my sweet momma brung me back to life. I shot one husband a little bit, and later, when he was dying of cancer, he was stole from the hospital, and, to this day, I don’t know where he is buried at. I like to tell people I am a movie star, cause I played the wife of a coal miner in the movie October Sky. My life started out hard with poverty and abuse, but all-in-all it’s been a pretty good life. This is my story, and I’d like for you to hear it and learn that no matter how bad things gets, you can overcome and be happy.
