Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lillian, or the Battle of Life A tall and stately man approached. The bouquet was taken from its concealment and held up to his gaze Please buy, sir? Not even a pleasant word or glance rewarded her. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she wiped them away - young, yet learning the world's first and great lesson, concealment. Poor little Lillian, she could not imagine the unhappy domestic scene in the dwelling of that proud and wealthy aristo crat - once, he would have bought those truly beautiful flowers for his bride - now, she was only an unloved wife, brilliant in society and admired by others, but holding no place in his heart. A group of laughing school girls approached. Oh! They all exclaimed what charming flowers! Come here, let us see them. Obeying the mandate, she drew near. Bouquet after bouquet was examined, then thrown carelessly, even rudely, down, and Lillian dared not expostulate, hoping still that they would take one or all. I will have this, said a tall, rude girl, with a wicked twinkle in her eye, and pay you to-morrow, sis! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An elderly African American woman, en route to vote, remembers her family’s tumultuous voting history in this picture book publishing in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As Lillian, a one-hundred-year-old African American woman, makes a “long haul up a steep hill” to her polling place, she sees more than trees and sky—she sees her family’s history. She sees the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment and her great-grandfather voting for the first time. She sees her parents trying to register to vote. And she sees herself marching in a protest from Selma to Montgomery. Veteran bestselling picture-book author Jonah Winter and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award winner Shane W. Evans vividly recall America’s battle for civil rights in this lyrical, poignant account of one woman’s fierce determination to make it up the hill and make her voice heard. "Moving.... Stirs up a potent mixture of grief, anger, and pride at the history of black people’s fight for access to the ballot box." —The New York Times "A much-needed picture book that will enlighten a new generation about battles won and a timely call to uphold these victories in the present." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred "A valuable introduction to and overview of the civil rights movement." —Publishers Weekly, Starred "An important book that will give you goose bumps." —Booklist, Starred

Download or read book Lillian Hellman written by Deborah Martinson and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few literary celebrities have lived with more abandon and under a brighter spotlight than Lillian Hellman. Even fewer have been doubted as absolutely as Hellman, famously denounced by rival Mary McCarthy. Attacked by critics and idealized by admirers, Hellman's determination to control and manipulate her image helped make her a figure of unknowable half–truths and rumors. Until now. Lillian Hellman: A Life with Foxes and Scoundrels is the first biography of the iconoclastic playwright written with the full cooperation of her family, friends, and inner circle. Deborah Martinson moves beyond the myths around Hellman and finds the sassy, outrageous woman committed to writing, to politics, and to having her say. Martinson's research—through interviews, archives, recently declassified CIA files, and her unprecedented access to Hellman's confidants—paints the most complete, and surprisingly admiring, portrait of this remarkable writer that we've ever had. Distinctly American—a New Orleans Jew with one foot in Manhattan and one in Hollywood, a writer whose experience spanned the Great Depression, the Cold War, and the Nixon years—Hellman lives again in this riveting biography, facing the world with wit, truth, lies, and chutzpah.

Download or read book Lillian Carter written by Grant Hayter-Menzies and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written with the cooperation of President Jimmy Carter and his family, this book provides an intimate glimpse inside the life of the woman who--as nurse, mother and social justice activist in segregated southwest Georgia--made a lifelong habit of breaking the rules defining a woman's place in and out of the home and the status of blacks in society. As the only white nurse in her rural community who cared for black families, as a 68-year-old Peace Corps Volunteer in 1960s India, as a fearless supporter of civil rights and as a First Mother unlike any other, Lillian Carter showed how individual courage, conviction and compassion can make a difference. Drawing on interviews with friends and colleagues, members of the Plains, Georgia, black community, Peace Corps Volunteers who trained with her, White House insiders and key players in the civil rights movement, as well as letters, documents and photographs never before made public, this book captures the essence of the woman the press dubbed "Rose Kennedy without the hair dye" and "First Mother of the world."

Book excerpt: This is the story of learning journey of Pei Feng Su regarding the relationship between humans, animals, and the environment that took her from a breakaway outpost of Mao's China to achieving her aim of facilitating a humane education movement in China. Life of Pei: The Battle for Compassion is an inspirational read for those who are grappling with their thoughts and direction in life. In honest and moving detail, Pei describes her life experiences and how she found meaning in her life and a pathway to help other people who needed support and direction. Pei encourages a reasoned and integrated approach to foster empathy and compassion—not just for other people, but also for animals and the environment. Pei’s covert undercover investigations into wildlife issues, farming, captive animals, and companion animals show bravery and commitment to her life’s mission. Pei came to believe that learning and developing an understanding of cultures and diversity is the key to successful and sustainable change in behavior. In essence, Pei interviews herself and attempts to analyze what she has learned about both herself and human nature. Through her remarkable life journey, Pei truly believes that given the chance to understand the truth about life on earth, most people, and children in particular, will choose compassion and empathy first.
