New York: Random House, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. ix, [5], 239, [3] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Foreword by Lynn Sherr. Fascinating profiles of thirteen extraordinary women--all pilots who passed the same battery of tests as the Mercury 7 astronauts--who were chosen as America's first female astronauts but who were refused the opportunity to participate. Martha Ackmann (born February 11, 1951) is a journalist and author. Her books include The Mercury 13: The True Story of Thirteen Women and the Dream of Space Flight, Curveball: The Remarkable Story of Toni Stone, and These Fevered Days: Ten Pivotal Moments in the Making of Emily Dickinson. Curveball was adapted for the stage and had its world premiere with the Roundabout Theatre in 2019. Ackmann's essays and op-eds have appeared in publications including the New York Times and the Washington Post. She taught at Mount Holyoke College from 1986 - 2016. She taught a seminar on Emily Dickinson. She is a past president of the Emily Dickinson International Society and co-founder of Legacy: A Journal of American Women Writers. Ackmann’s books focus on "women who’ve changed America," with special attention to recovering stories of women who have fallen between the cracks of history. Her first book, The Mercury 13, detailed the largely unknown story of thirteen American women pilots who were tested to be astronauts in the early days of the US space program. In 2007, the University of Wisconsin awarded the Mercury 13 women honorary degrees and commended Ackmann for embodying "the ideas of social justice and equity in the public sphere." More

Corners bumped, Shaken. Louisa May Alcott wrote the novel while living at the Thoreau-Alcott House on Main Street in Concord, Massachusetts. She bought the home for her sister Anna Alcott Pratt in 1877, though she moved in as well in the 1880s. Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Alcott worked to help support the family from an early age. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard, under which she wrote novels for young adults. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Hillside, later called the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters.

Soiling on bottom edge. Includes 21 chapters, as well as acknowledgments. After an arranged marriage to Chanu, a man twenty years older, Nazneen is taken to London, leaving her home and heart in the Bangladeshi village where she was born. Her new world is full of mysteries. How can she cross the road without being hit by a car? What is the secret of her bullying neighbor Mrs. Islam? What is a Hell's Angel? And how must she comfort the naive and disillusioned Chanu? As a good Muslim girl, Nazneen struggles to not question why things happen. She submits, as she must, to Fate and devotes herself to her husband and daughters. Yet, to her amazement, she begins an affair with a handsome young radical, and her erotic awakening throws her old certainties into chaos. Monica Ali (born 20 October 1967) is a Bangladeshi-born British writer and novelist. In 2003, she was selected as one of the "Best of Young British Novelists" by Granta magazine based on her unpublished manuscript; her debut novel, Brick Lane, was published later that year. It was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. It was adapted as a 2007 film of the same name. She has also published three other novels. The true pleasure of this wonderful novel comes from its timeless sense of wonder and affection for the haplessness of human nature. This book was the winner of the 2003 Discover Award for Fiction, and was also a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice of 2003. More
