Book Description
Francell Lee Schrader has written a heart warming and inspiring story based on the life of her grandmother Frances S. Lee. This remarkable trailblazing lady was a member of the Colorado Legislature in 1899/1900, twenty years before the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. Appalled by the horror of children working in the mines, Frances passed the Child Labor Law, the Compulsory Education Act, and much other landmark legislation protecting the health and safety of children. Frances was the first women ever to preside over the Colorado House of Representatives and won a gold medal from the Cripple Creek Miners as one of the ¡°Immortal Thirty Three¡± legislators who could not be bribed. Because she was known for her principle of not accepting gifts from anyone outside her family, her honesty and integrity shine like a beacon in today¡_s world. In the legislature again in 1913/14 at the time of the infamous Ludlow Massacre, Frances battled courageously on behalf of the miners. Lady of the Immortal Thirty Three is a rich tapestry woven of treasured family lore and amazing Colorado history.

Book Description
“All predestined affinities are merely debts to be repaid.” In his mortal life, Song Yao ate an elixir pill that dropped from the heavens by accident, and thus began his life as an immortal. After millennia of living in idleness, the Jade Emperor orders Song Yao back to the mortal plane. His task is seemingly simple: to oversee the love trial between two immortal lords. Only when he bids his old friend Hengwen Qingjun farewell at the heavenly gates is he told of his true role on the mortal plane: to steal away the heart of one of the lords, Tianshu Xingjun. Falling from the skies with no way back, Song Yao can only wonder, who’s really being put on trial here?

Women from the Parsonage
Author: Cindy K. Renker
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110590360
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
This volume provides a new context for women’s writing from the seventeenth through the end of the nineteenth century, highlighting the significant role of the parsonage and the parson himself for women’s education in those centuries. Cindy K. Renker and Susanne Bach's collection of essays is the first of its kind on the education, lives, and works of highly accomplished daughters of Protestant clergymen. Since this volume only represents a limited number of women raised and educated in parsonages, it will surely encourage more investigation of other women writers, translators, educators, etc. with similar backgrounds. Moreover, since this book takes a comparative and transnational approach by focusing on different regions of Europe and different centuries. This collection of essays is thus aimed at scholars in multiple fields such as British literature, German studies, gender studies, the history of women’s education, and social and cultural history.
