Download or read book The Woman's Hour written by Elaine Weiss and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Both a page-turning drama and an inspiration for every reader"--Hillary Rodham Clinton Soon to Be a Major Television Event The nail-biting climax of one of the greatest political battles in American history: the ratification of the constitutional amendment that granted women the right to vote. "With a skill reminiscent of Robert Caro, [Weiss] turns the potentially dry stuff of legislative give-and-take into a drama of courage and cowardice."--The Wall Street Journal "Weiss is a clear and genial guide with an ear for telling language ... She also shows a superb sense of detail, and it's the deliciousness of her details that suggests certain individuals warrant entire novels of their own... Weiss's thoroughness is one of the book's great strengths. So vividly had she depicted events that by the climactic vote (spoiler alert: The amendment was ratified!), I got goose bumps."--Curtis Sittenfeld, The New York Times Book Review Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, twelve have rejected or refused to vote, and one last state is needed. It all comes down to Tennessee, the moment of truth for the suffragists, after a seven-decade crusade. The opposing forces include politicians with careers at stake, liquor companies, railroad magnates, and a lot of racists who don't want black women voting. And then there are the "Antis"--women who oppose their own enfranchisement, fearing suffrage will bring about the moral collapse of the nation. They all converge in a boiling hot summer for a vicious face-off replete with dirty tricks, betrayals and bribes, bigotry, Jack Daniel's, and the Bible. Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective forces into battle, along with appearances by Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Frederick Douglass, and Eleanor Roosevelt, The Woman's Hour is an inspiring story of activists winning their own freedom in one of the last campaigns forged in the shadow of the Civil War, and the beginning of the great twentieth-century battles for civil rights.
Book Synopsis Why Surgeons Struggle with Work-Hour Reforms by : James E. Coverdill
Download or read book Why Surgeons Struggle with Work-Hour Reforms written by James E. Coverdill and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 1, 2003, work-hour reforms were enacted nationally for the roughly 129,000 resident physicians in the United States. The reforms limit weekly work hours (a maximum of eighty per week) and in-hospital call (no more than once every three nights), mandate days free of clinical and educational obligations (one day in seven), and regulate other aspects of resident work life. Why Surgeons Struggle with Work-Hour Reforms focuses on general surgeons, a historically long-hour specialty, who fiercely opposed the reforms and are among the least compliant. Why do surgeons struggle with the reforms? Why do they continue to work long hours and view the act of doing so as reasonable if not quintessentially professional? Although the analysis is situated in the growing scientific literature on the consequences of fatigue, the authors do not adjudicate between the claims of surgeons and reform advocates about the effects of long work hours on patient or provider safety. Rather, the aim is to explore and explain how aspects of the occupational culture of surgeons and the social organization of surgical training and practice interlock to impede the reforms.

Download or read book The Struggle of the Hour written by Orson S. Murray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle of the Hour: A Disourse Delivered at the Paine Celebration in Cincinnati, January 29, 1861 To some, it may appear paradoxical, that a party, discarding compromises, should expect to be heard in an assembly, composed of opinions so various, that somewhat of compromising is necessary to getting along. Well, if compromising may mean so much, as hearing and being heard, I am prepared for it. Whenever the South are prepared for freedom of speech, all will be right. Whenever they will enter into bonds, giving satisfactory security, to abide by the Constitution, in its provisions that there shall be "no law abridging the freedom of speech;" that "the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of the citizens in the several States;" that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law;" "nor cruel and unjust punishments inflicted;" all will be right. But a compromise, involving abnegation of all these vital elements, makes the Constitution a mockery - "collapses it into a dead letter." Such a Constitution is a sun more than half eclipsed, and thus made impotent, as to vitalizing energies for the wants of existing orders of intelligences. But more of this by and by, when we come to the argument. There is agitation for the sake of agitation. That is children's play - young and old. There is agitation for gain. That is the part of pickpockets - low and high. There is agitation for self-foisting into favor, place and power. That is a work for demagogues and despots - in state and in church. There is agitation for purification and preservation of the human mass. That is a work for philanthropists and benefactors. Undoubtedly there is much of patriotism among those who are denouncing philanthropists. The latter can certainly afford to be charitable to the former.

Book Synopsis The Battle of Ezra Church and the Struggle for Atlanta by : Earl J. Hess
Download or read book The Battle of Ezra Church and the Struggle for Atlanta written by Earl J. Hess and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fought on July 28, 1864, the Battle of Ezra Church was a dramatic engagement during the Civil War's Atlanta campaign. Confederate forces under John Bell Hood desperately fought to stop William T. Sherman's advancing armies as they tried to cut the last Confederate supply line into the city. Confederates under General Stephen D. Lee nearly overwhelmed the Union right flank, but Federals under General Oliver O. Howard decisively repelled every attack. After five hours of struggle, 5,000 Confederates lay dead and wounded, while only 632 Federals were lost. The result was another major step in Sherman's long effort to take Atlanta. Hess's compelling study is the first book-length account of the fighting at Ezra Church. Detailing Lee's tactical missteps and Howard's vigilant leadership, he challenges many common misconceptions about the battle. Richly narrated and drawn from an array of unpublished manuscripts and firsthand accounts, Hess's work sheds new light on the complexities and significance of this important engagement, both on and off the battlefield.

Book excerpt: “It just shouldn’t be this hard!” Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a day where everything that could go wrong does go wrong—you lock your keys in the car while it’s running, lose control with your kids, make a mistake at the office that results in hours more work. And just when you think not one more thing could possibly happen . . . well, fill in the blank. The struggle is real, friends. It may not be major stuff. Lives are not on the line here. But it makes us feel awful . . . and then we feel guilty for stressing when other people have “real” problems that are so much more serious. Yet the fact remains: We live in a world that often feels harder than we think it should be. And so it can be easy to believe the stories we tell ourselves—that we’re doing it wrong, that we’ll be stuck in this place forever, that God doesn’t love us. We struggle to practice gratitude, to make godly choices, and to live our daily lives with confidence and contentment. So what can we do? Join popular Bible teacher and counselor Nicole Unice to discover why the struggle is real . . . and what to do about it. Nicole offers practical tools to help you navigate the daily ups and downs, and ways to rewrite your struggle into a new, God-centered life story. The Struggle Is Real is an invitation to take the hard, hurtful, and confusing moments and turn them into opportunities to grow in wisdom, strength, and joy.

Book Synopsis The Woman's Hour (Adapted for Young Readers) by : Elaine Weiss
Download or read book The Woman's Hour (Adapted for Young Readers) written by Elaine Weiss and published by Random House Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This adaptation of the book Hillary Clinton calls "a page-turning drama and an inspiration" will spark the attention of young readers and teach them about activism, civil rights, and the fight for women's suffrage--just in time for the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. Includes an eight-page photo insert! American women are so close to winning the right to vote. They've been fighting for more than seventy years and need approval from just one more state. But suffragists face opposition from every side, including the "Antis"--women who don't want women to have the right to vote. It's more than a fight over politics; it's a debate over the role of women and girls in society, and whether they should be considered equal to men and boys. Over the course of one boiling-hot summer, Nashville becomes a bitter battleground. Both sides are willing to do anything it takes to win, and the suffragists--led by brave activists Carrie Catt, Sue White, and Alice Paul--will face dirty tricks, blackmail, and betrayal. But they vow to fight for what they believe in, no matter the cost.
