Book excerpt: **2022 Will Rogers Medallion Award Silver Winner for Western Non-Fiction** When the last spike was hammered into the steel track of the Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869, at Promontory Point, Utah, Western Union lines sounded the glorious news of the railroad’s completion from New York to San Francisco. For more than five years an estimated four thousand men mostly Irish working west from Omaha and Chinese working east from Sacramento, moved like a vast assembly line toward the end of the track. Editorials in newspapers and magazines praised the accomplishment and some boasted that the work that “was begun, carried on, and completed solely by men.” The August edition of Godey’s Lady’s Book even reported “No woman had laid a rail and no woman had made a survey.” Although the physical task of building the railroad had been achieved by men, women made significant and lasting contributions to the historic operation. However, the female connection with railroading dates as far back as 1838 when women were hired as registered nurses/stewardesses in passenger cars. Those ladies attended to the medical needs of travelers and also acted as hostesses of sorts helping passengers have a comfortable journey. Beyond nursing and service roles, however, women played a larger part in the actual creation of the rail lines than they have been given credit for. Miss E. F. Sawyer became the first female telegraph operator when she was hired by the Burlington Railroad in Montgomery, Illinois, in 1872. Eliza Murfey focused on the mechanics of the railroad, creating devices for improving the way bearings on a rail wheel attached to train cars responded to the axles. Murfey held sixteen patents for her 1870 invention. In 1879, another woman inventor named Mary Elizabeth Walton developed a system that deflected emissions from the smoke stacks on railroad locomotives. She was awarded two patents for her pollution reducing device. Their stories and many more are included in this illustrated volume celebrating women and the railroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Returning to Britain in the mid-1980s after spending several years in the US as the Observer's Washington correspondent, Robert Chesshyre found a country shockingly altered by the rule of 'The Iron Lady', then at the height of her popularity. Disturbed by the Britain he now found himself in, he set out to travel the length and breadth of the UK to report on the state of the nation and the lives of ordinary people. Originally published as The Return of a Native Reporter to widespread critical acclaim in 1987, this new edition includes a piece describing a revisit to the former Easington Colliery in 2010 and an extensive new foreword by the author. In its scope, its relevance and its insight, it is a profound and shocking reminder that 'what we sowed then, we reap now'.

Book Synopsis The Real Iron Lady by : Gillian Shephard
Download or read book The Real Iron Lady written by Gillian Shephard and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many myths about Margaret Thatcher's extraordinary personality and political career. But what was it really like to work with her? In The Real Iron Lady: Working with Margaret Thatcher, Gillian Shephard speaks to an eclectic and distinguished range of Mrs T.'s former colleagues; all offer a unique insight into what the Iron Lady was really like at close quarters. Among them are John Major, Geoffrey Howe, Douglas Hurd and other Cabinet colleagues, alongside an ambassador and senior civil servants. In addition, prominent Conservative Party members, distinguished journalists and a leading trade unionist add their views, as well as MPs, political advisers and Downing Street staff. A French perspective is even provided by Hubert Védrine, foreign minister to erstwhile President François Mitterrand. Gillian Shephard has laced this miscellany of recollections of the Iron Lady with her own sparkling wit and acerbic comments - resulting in a fascinating close-up portrait of Britain's first woman Prime Minister. Most importantly, it is a portrait painted by the people who were with her throughout the dramas of her political career: the Falklands conflict, the miners' strike, the Brighton Bomb outrage and, eventually, her downfall. The book, with its wealth of previously unpublished material, portrays Margaret Thatcher as a woman of contrasts: courageous, kind, ferocious, feminine - and so far, unsurpassed.

Book Synopsis The Sweet Sobs of Women in Response to Anthropain by : Mary Njeri Kinyanjui
Download or read book The Sweet Sobs of Women in Response to Anthropain written by Mary Njeri Kinyanjui and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropain is pain inflicted by human beings on other human beings. Women experience anthropain in the negotiation of their everyday lives. This book tells the stories of eight women and their reactions to anthropain encountered as they engage in their respective socio-economic and political struggles. The eight women are drawn from a village in Africa. They express their feminine utu (humanness) through what is termed here “sweet sobs.” They weep in pain, but turn their tears into creative energy that generates resilience, hope, productivity, inspiration, positive change, and sustainable development. This book is about shunning the ostrich mentality, avoiding living in denial, turning lemons into lemonade, and acknowledging that, while life will not always be fair, one has to negotiate in life to achieve desired outcomes. It is a celebration of women’s resilience, creativity, and bouncing back amidst adversity. While the issue of class, privilege, race, ethnicity, and stereotyping has divided the global women’s movement, the book represents a handy common denominator to rally women to stop violence, gender stereotypes, and exploitative economic relations and leave a positive legacy that inspire others. The analysis is illuminated by Gikuyu orature, womanism, and feminism. It contributes to the understanding of the feminist crisis in the public domain, in corporate and government boardrooms, and at the grassroots level in peasant and economic informal activities and in rural households and informal settlements. It calls for the re-evaluation of current gender methodologies, which portray women as victims of patriarchy, exploitative economic relations, and climate change. It demonstrates the power of the story as a tool of gendered research and women’s empowerment.
Book Synopsis Madam Prime Minister by : Gro Harlem Brundtland
Download or read book Madam Prime Minister written by Gro Harlem Brundtland and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2005-06-15 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the world's leading woman politicians tells her inspiring story At forty-one, Gro Harlem Brundtland, physician and mother of four, was appointed prime minister of Norway-the youngest person and the first woman ever to hold that office. In this refreshingly forthright memoir, Brundtland traces her unusual and meteoric career. She grew up with strong role models-her parents were active in the Norwegian resistance and involved in postwar politics. She became known as a pro-choice crusader in the seventies and entered politics as the minister of the environment. She appointed eight women to her second eighteen-member cabinet, to this day a world record, and was the leading figure in the process that led to the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. As director-general of the World Health Organization since 1997, Brundtland is the first woman elected to run a major UN institution. Along the way, she met a host of international politicians, including Margaret Thatcher-who did not share Brundtland's view on feminism-Mikhail Gorbachev, Nelson Mandela, Ronald Reagan, and Hillary Clinton. Brundtland writes candidly and with humor about raising children in the political limelight and about dealing with political opposition and stereotypes about women. Hers is a fascinating story of one person's ability to make a difference-globally.

Book Synopsis People Like Us by : Caroline Slocock
Download or read book People Like Us written by Caroline Slocock and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first ever female private secretary to any British Prime Minister, Caroline Slocock had a front-row seat for the final eighteen months of Margaret Thatcher's premiership. A left-wing feminist, Slocock was no natural ally and yet she became fascinated by the woman behind the Iron Lady façade and by how she dealt with a world dominated by men. As events led inexorably to Thatcher's downfall, Slocock observed the vulnerabilities and contradictions of the woman considered by many to be the ultimate anti-feminist, and witnessed the astonishing way in which she was brought down by her closest political allies. In this vivid first-hand account, Slocock reflects on the challenges women still face in public life and concludes that it's time to rewrite how we portray female leaders. A remarkable political and personal memoir, People Like Us charts the dying days of Thatcher's No. 10 and reflects on women and power, then and now.
