Download or read book Roses and Radicals written by Susan Zimet and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States of America is almost 250 years old, but American women won the right to vote less than a hundred years ago. And when the controversial nineteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution-the one granting suffrage to women-was finally ratified in 1920, it passed by a mere one-vote margin. The amendment only succeeded because a courageous group of women had been relentlessly demanding the right to vote for more than seventy years. The leaders of the suffrage movement are heroes who were fearless in the face of ridicule, arrest, imprisonment, and even torture. Many of them devoted themselves to the cause knowing they wouldn't live to cast a ballot. The story of women's suffrage is epic, frustrating, and as complex as the women who fought for it. Illustrated with portraits, period cartoons, and other images, Roses and Radicals celebrates this captivating yet overlooked piece of American history and the women who made it happen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2013 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award Rosa’s mother is singing again, for the first time since Papa died in an accident in the mills.

Then, on the train, a boy begs her to pretend that he is her brother. Alone and far from home, she agrees to protect him . . . even though she suspects that he is hiding some terrible secret.

Book Synopsis The ''Miracle Roses'' - a True Story by : Lynda Peringian MS RD
Download or read book The ''Miracle Roses'' - a True Story written by Lynda Peringian MS RD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-09-20 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MYSTERIES With ROSES – Supernatural Phenomenon – A Sense of Awe VALENTINE’S DAY soon here – Feb. 14 Valentine’s Day, is known as a holiday to celebrate love, and roses are much loved and admired. Roses were the embodiment of love, spirituality, and beauty in the Middle Ages and progressing throughout history, have become a decorative symbol of earthly love. If you ask ten people to name their favorite flower, probably the majority would name the rose. Roses are given to others as a gift to express one’s love. Another holiday similar to Valentine’s Day is Sweetest Day, held on the third in October, also celebrated with Roses. Although it is hard to believe, there are so many mysteries with roses, which are true stories, reported by people worldwide. Fresh cut long stem red roses (delivered by a florist) actually stayed alive for ten (10) weeks, a historical record! This historical record, an INCREDIBLE FIND, happened to Lynda Peringian, from Dryden, MI. This was documented in the front page of the newspaper, The Eccentric,” and witnessed by so many people. Peringian happened to be an author so she wrote a book about the true story. Now readers of her book, The “MIRACLE ROSES” – A True Story, are reporting mysteries which are connected to this book. “A live red rose in the middle of the road!” said Connie Simmons “A single red rose on the floor,” reported Judi Peli. How is it possible for a nun, St. Therese, living only to the young age of 24, to touch the lives of millions of people a century after her death? Love is the answer. She was extremely full of love, not only with her family and other people, but with nature. St. Therese loved flowers, especially roses and she said, “After my death, I will let fall a shower of roses.” That she is doing, causing a sense of supernatural phenomenon, a sense of awe. For over a century, St. Therese has kept her promise and she is known to be a powerful intercessor to these who call upon her. She also said, “I will spend my heaven in doing good on hearth.” Miracles, grace, favors, and so many good things are happening everyday by intercessions (Mediation) and they are happening worldwide. St. Therese is known as the “greatest saint of modern times,” and she touches us all with her presence from heaven. She is known with many religions (Jewish, Moslems, Christian, etc.). Although some people think she is associated with only Catholics, this is not true. She is well liked and people seek her healing and guidance. She is known as the “Little Flower,” since she thought of herself as being a small flower in a garden. A saint is a holy person who performs miracles. St. Therese’s ability to work miracles comes from God. She is a conduit of God’s power. Can you imagine roses appearing to people and causing us all to wonder. If it happens to you, you say to yourself, “What on earth is going on?” You are wondering if this is a dream. You are not afraid, but rather pleasantly surprised, and happy with this good event... it is a blessing! St. Therese often leaves a rose as her calling card and outward sign of her presence. Although there are no traceable explanations to the fascinations of life’s mysteries, wouldn’t you agree that life would be dull without them? Surprisingly, readers of Peringian’s inspirational book have reported roses appearing to them, usually red in color. They have been fresh cut roses, but also silk roses. The floral industry (florist, gardeners, nurseries, associations, societies, and others involved with roses) have said “fresh cut long stem roses have not lived as long as Peringian’s roses.” Take note that these roses were delivered by a florist to her house which were fresh cut roses, not roses growing outside in her backyard. Roses usually live no longer than one to two weeks, perhaps a little longer. People all over are saying,” I never have heard of roses lasting as lo
Download or read book Last of the Giants written by Mick Wall and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Last Of the Giants is the mad, funny, dark and often painful story of a lost band from a now-distant time' CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE INCLUDES BRAND NEW CHAPTER COVERING GUNS N' ROSES EPIC WORLD TOUR 'Any story about Guns is worth reading. But when the author is Mick Wall it's absolutely essential' KERRANG Many millions of words have already been written about Guns N' Roses, the old line-up, the new line-up. But none of them have ever really gotten to the truth. Which is this: Guns N' Roses has always been a band out of time, the Last of the Giants. They are what every rock band since the Rolling Stones has tried and nearly always failed to be: dangerous. At a time when smiling, MTV-friendly, safe-sex, just-say-no Bon Jovi was the biggest band in the world, here was a band that seemed to have leapt straight out of the coke-smothered pages of the original, golden-age, late-sixties rock scene. 'Live like a suicide', the band used to say when they all lived together in the Hell House, their notorious LA home. And this is where Mick Wall first met them, and became part of their inner circle, before famously being denounced by name by Axl Rose in the song 'Get in the Ring'. But this book isn't about settling old scores. Written with the clear head that 25 years later brings you, this is a celebration of Guns N' Roses the band, and of Axl Rose the frontman who really is that thing we so desperately want him to be: the last of the truly extraordinary, all-time great, no apologies, no explanations, no giving-a-shit rock stars. The last of his kind.
Book Synopsis Stories of the Rose by : Anne Winston-Allen
Download or read book Stories of the Rose written by Anne Winston-Allen and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In its most basic form, the rosary is a series of prayers and meditations designed to bring the worshiper closer to God through the Virgin Mary. But, as Anne Winston-Allen shows, there was no single text of the rosary prayer: different versions, some in German and some in Latin, evolved over the course of the late Middle Ages as communities of believers experimented with their own forms. She also finds that rosary prayers were influenced by secular, even courtly literature that used images of the rose and rose garden; in the rosary, Mary is the Mystical Rose.".
