Book Description
Two women, Molly and Michele, are film industry colleagues and very close friends. Molly is a charismatic and dynamic Manhattan businesswoman until, at the age of 40, she has a brain aneurysm and falls into a month-long coma. Frightened and debilitated, she is a shadow of her former self. Michele, her Parisian friend, must grapple with these changes as she contemplates the nature of her relationship with a now-unrecognisable Molly. Is the bond the same when everything you once loved about a person has changed?

American Queenmaker
Author: Julie Des Jardins
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 1541645472
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The first biography of Missy Meloney, the most important woman you've never heard of Marie "Missy" Mattingly Meloney was born in 1878, in an America where women couldn't vote. Yet she recognized the power that women held as consumers and family decision-makers, and persuaded male publishers and politicians to take them seriously. Over the course of her life as a journalist, magazine editor-in-chief, and political advisor, Missy created the idea of the female demographic. After the passage of the 19th Amendment she encouraged candidates to engage with and appeal to women directly. In this role, she advised Presidents from Hoover and Coolidge to FDR. By the time she died in 1943, women were a recognized political force to be reckoned with. In this groundbreaking biography, historian Julie Des Jardins restores Missy to her rightful place in American history.

Impersonals and other Agent Defocusing Constructions in French
Author: Michel Achard
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027269076
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
This book investigates French impersonals as a functional category. Any structure whose agent is defocused and whose predicate describes a situation stable enough to be generally available should be considered impersonal. In addition to il impersonals, the category also includes demonstrative (ce/ça), middle (se), and indefinite (on) structures. These different forms belong to the same functional category because they systematically code general and predictable events that cannot be imputed to a specific cause. Because generality and predictability are gradual notions, impersonals can only be identified within the context of specific constructional islands which therefore constitute the organizing principle of the French impersonal category. Conducted in Cognitive Grammar, the analysis follows the functional tradition in expanding the scope of French impersonals beyond il constructions, but also proposes a way of precisely delineating the category. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in impersonal constructions and French linguistics.
