Wonder Of Women - To Make A Long Story Short

"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - To Make A Long Story Short - An Introduction2 - Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin3 - The Story of Sir Bertrand by Anna Laetitia Barbauld4 - All Souls Eve by Dora Sigerson Shorter5 - After the Funeral by Mary Butts6 - Conversation on Conversation by Harriet Beecher Stowe7 - The Preacher at Hill Station by Katherine Davis Chapman Tillman8 - The Palace of Death by Emily Bronte9 - The Lie by Holloway Horn10 - The Readjustment by Mary Austin11 - Suggestion by Mrs Ernest Leverson12 - A Pen and Ink Effect by Frances E Huntley13 - The Wooing of Pastor Cummings by Georgia F Stewart14 - My Flirtations by Ella Hepworth Dixon writing as Margaret Wynham15 - The Three Kisses by Violet Quirk16 - A Redeeming Sacrifice by Lucy Maud Montgomery17 - Many Waters Cannot Quench Love by Louisa Baldwin18 - Aunt Hetty on Matrimony by Fanny Fern, the writing pseudonym for Sarah Payton Parton19 - Aunt Lindy.

Queer Little Folks

"The story telling genius of Harriet Beecher Stowe is never more obvious than in these animal stories. Meant to enchant as well as instruct young listeners on the dilemmas we face growing up, Ms. Stowe sees through the eyes of the forest creatures, large and small, and shows us how things might work in the adventure of growing "big". This set of short tales include: 1. Hen that Hatched Ducks 2. The Nutcrackers of Nutcracker Lodge 3. The History of Tip-Top 4. Miss Katy-did and Miss Cricket 5. Mother Magpie's Mischief 6. The Squirrels That Live in a House 7. Hum, Son of Buz 8. Our Country Neighbors 9. The Diverting History of Little Whiskey AUTHOR Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author who became a major catalyst for the abolishion of slavery with her novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. A deeply religious woman from an enormous and devout family, Stowe had enormous compassion for the plight of slaves and infused her writings with humanity, creating characters and situations that resonated with people all over the world. The impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin was so profound, that when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe, he reportedly said ""So you are the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war."" COMMENTARY Quotes about Queer Little Folks This was an awesome and amazing book of several wonderful little moral tales, mostly told from the perspective of cleverly anthropomorphized animals such as inhabit the woods of New England. The stories are witty, and clever. There are subtle puns and the characters are keenly portrayed. I also found that the attitude and morals are almost surprisingly in line with those of today--although there was more mention of death than you'd find in a contemporary book of children's tales. I'd totally recommend reading this, and reading it to any and all small children that you can get to sit still long enough to listen. (Amazon.com) ""

Uncle Tom's Cabin

""There are nearly four millions of slaves in the United States; and the question now presents itself to every free born American citizen; what are we to do with them? The abolition party demand their immediate emancipation. Is it practicable, safe, or proper? What would be the consequences? What would be the consequence of turning loose upon ourselves four millions of human beings, to prowl about like wild beasts without restraint, or control, and commit depredations on the white population?" -Excerpted from "A Review of Uncle Tom's Cabin," by A. Woodward, M.D., 1853."
