Book Description
The Long Road of Woman's Memory by Jane Addams: This essay, first published in 1916, reflects on the role of women in history and the challenges they face in achieving recognition and equality. Addams argues that women's contributions to society have often been overlooked or undermined and advocates for a more inclusive and equitable approach to historical scholarship. Key Aspects of the Book "The Long Road of Woman's Memory": Feminist Scholarship: The essay represents an early example of feminist scholarship and advocacy for gender equality. Historical Legacy: Addams explores the ways in which women's contributions to history and culture have been erased or marginalized, highlighting the importance of recognizing and celebrating these achievements. Intersectionality: Addams argues that gender is just one of many intersecting identities and experiences that shape women's lives and histories, calling for a more nuanced and inclusive approach to understanding gender and power. Jane Addams was an American social reformer, activist, and feminist who is best known for her work in founding Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago dedicated to serving the city's marginalized communities. Addams was a vocal advocate for peace, women's rights, and social justice, and her writings and activism continue to inspire generations of activists and scholars. The Long Road of Woman's Memory is one of her most important essays, providing a powerful example of feminist scholarship and advocacy in the early 20th century.

Book Description
First published in 1922 during the "Red Scare," by which time Jane Addams's pacifist efforts had adversely affected her popularity as an author and social reformer, Peace and Bread in Time of War is Addams's eighth book and the third to deal with her thoughts on pacifism. Addams's unyielding pacifism during the Great War drew criticism from politicians and patriots who deemed her the "most dangerous woman in America." Even those who had embraced her ideals of social reform condemned her outspoken opposition to U.S. entry into World War I or were ambivalent about her peace platforms. Turning away from the details of the war itself, Addams relies on memory and introspection in this autobiographical portrayal of efforts to secure peace during the Great War. "I found myself so increasingly reluctant to interpret the motives of other people that at length I confined all analysis of motives to my own," she writes. Using the narrative technique she described in The Long Road of Women's Memory, an extended musing on the roles of memory and myth in women's lives, Addams also recalls attacks by the press and defends her political ideals. Katherine Joslin's introduction provides additional historical context to Addams's involvement with the Woman's Peace Party, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and her work on Herbert Hoover's campaign to provide relief and food to women and children in war-torn enemy countries.

Book Description
Introducing a remarkable new character from #1 New York Times bestselling writer David Baldacci: Atlee Pine, an FBI agent with special skills assigned to the remote wilds of the southwestern United States who must confront a new threat . . . and an old nightmare. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by its toe. It's seared into Atlee Pine's memory: the kidnapper's chilling rhyme as he chose between six-year-old Atlee and her twin sister, Mercy. Mercy was taken. Atlee was spared. She never saw Mercy again. Three decades after that terrifying night, Atlee Pine works for the FBI. She's the lone agent assigned to the Shattered Rock, Arizona resident agency, which is responsible for protecting the Grand Canyon. So when one of the Grand Canyon's mules is found stabbed to death at the bottom of the canyon-and its rider missing-Pine is called in to investigate. It soon seems clear the lost tourist had something more clandestine than sightseeing in mind. But just as Pine begins to put together clues pointing to a terrifying plot, she's abruptly called off the case. If she disobeys direct orders by continuing to search for the missing man, it will mean the end of her career. But unless Pine keeps working the case and discovers the truth, it could spell the very end of democracy in America as we know it... "Love it!" --Lisa Gardner"Atlee Pine is unforgettable." --James Patterson "David Baldacci's best yet." --Lisa Scottoline "Heart-poundingly suspenseful." --Scott Turow "A stunning debut." --Douglas Preston "A perfect blend of action, secrets, and conspiracies." --Steve Berry "Baldacci is at the top of his game." --Kathy Reichs

Book Description
Jane Addams writes of our great Protean mother, race memory, in "The Long Road of Woman's Memory," a volume that draws conclusions from the experiences related to her by different types of women who came to Hull House for personal aid and in many instances to investigate the myth of the "Devil Baby," said to have been born there. She sees clearly a thing that only thoughtful women attempt to understand, that race memory holds the essential unity of man's age-long spiritual effort, and that in this memory is the power that guards the finest achievements of the present, and safeguards future generations. The phenomena of tribal loyalty and woman's "deepest instinct," that the child in her body must be made to live, have impressed Miss Addams with peculiar force as viewed against the background of her life work and unusual opportunities for observation. She completes a fine, thoughtful, and suggestive work with a chapter on her own personal interpretative memory. -The American Review of Reviews, Volume 55
