Prejudice, Acceptance, Triumph takes a look at the lives of gay and lesbian teachers working in the British secondary education system post- Section 28. While legal changes have transformed the lives of gays and lesbians and society has become noticeably more accepting since the 1980s, there is still disquiet in some quarters whenever they come into professional contact with children. In this, his doctoral thesis, Michael Wardle balances the gay perspective with method- ologically sound detachment and asks questions of a carefully selected cross-section of secondary school teachers, such as: who are you 'out' to? Colleagues? Managers? Parents? Pupils? How does being gay or lesbian shape your professional relationships with these diverse groups? What are your experiences of homophobia and censorship? And what about gay pupils? Where do they fit into the professional lives of gay and lesbian teachers? This study asks questions that range from the mundane to the controversial and comes back with some surprising answers, uncovering an unpredictable medley of prejudice, acceptance and yes, even triumph.

Pride & Prejudice falls into the era of post World War II! It's a fact, not often understood, that when going on a journey, it is not the destination that is the point; it is the journey that counts. Always it is the journey that counts! 'The Six Women of Kent' was a painting that once belonged to the Bennet family in New York when they had it taken to Berlin to be put on display in the 1830s. Years later, when the world was thrown into chaos and destruction in World War II, the painting was lost, and the Bennet family had been raised on the history of it ever since, including Liz Bennet, one of the Bennet daughters. At the end of World War II, Liz Bennet, strong and adventurous, chooses to leave her family to travel to Germany with one of her sisters, where the painting was last recorded to be. She joins her friend, Louisa Musgrove, through the Army Exchange Services, who is traveling with her husband, Captain Benwick. When there, she searches for the painting, but while there she sees the devastation and aftermath of war, but tries to remain with her positive demeanor. Yet while there, she runs into an old acquaintance, Mr. Darcy, and their previous relationship falls back into place and they are both repulsed and drawn to each other. Yet there appears to be more behind this British officer than appears. And behind his heart as well. Follow this new adventure of Lizzy Bennet and her Mr. Darcy!

My Triumph over Prejudice is the autobiography of a black girl growing up in Mississippi during the civil rights era. Born in 1949, Martha Wyatt-Rossignol came of age during some of the most crucial and dangerous years of the civil rights movement. She examines those years and what happened when the movement upended her small town of Fayette. She describes the conditions under which blacks lived during segregation and how those oppressive rules changed, despite massive resistance from whites. Wyatt-Rossignol faced racial hatred when she was chosen for an early school desegregation program. Her failed marriage to an African American led to her dating and later wedding a white man, a civil rights worker from the North, to whom she is still married. That union sparked disapproval from both the white and black communities, revealing entrenched complexities of race and racism in her hometown. Her story also follows the politics of that volatile era in a local context. Black politicians, helped by national civil rights figures, assumed more power and began improving life for all races in this rural area. Then came a betrayal felt by many blacks as these key figures overreached their authority and started pursuing their own selfish agendas. An intimate, revealing portrait of Charles Evers, the first black mayor of Fayette and brother of Medgar Evers, is included in this section. The memoir goes on to portray how the author learned to hate whites as a result of her experiences and how she later overcame that animosity. Wyatt-Rossignol's story concludes with her move out of Mississippi to the island of Bermuda, where she encountered a very different racial environment.
