"Fascinating, the way all great family stories are fascinating."—Robert Gottlieb, New York Times Book Review This is the story of a close, loving family splintered by the violent ideologies of Europe between the world wars. Jessica was a Communist; Debo became the Duchess of Devonshire; Nancy was one of the best-selling novelists of her day; beautiful Diana married the Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley; and Unity, a close friend of Hitler, shot herself in the head when England and Germany declared war. The Mitfords had style and presence and were remarkably gifted. Above all, they were funny—hilariously and mercilessly so. In this wise, evenhanded, and generous book, Mary Lovell captures the vitality and drama of a family that took the twentieth century by storm and became, in some respects, its victims.

"Az If" presents a collection of "a real soul-stirring, eye-opening version of one woman's life in the middle lane" while incorporating an understanding of certain Christian principles along the way. "Az If" explores the relative complexities of human nature and interaction as they might occur in a sometimes uncertain modern society. Most of "Az If" deals with family bonds, starting with "Collection by Ma", "Real Mothers" and "My Sisters Are My Friends". This book focuses on notions of history and culture, "African Queens" portrays a slightly different kind of relationship that might influence a person's sense of self. Several pieces envision a virtual link between the earthly and the divine, through the individual. For example, "Echoes of Women's Work" and "I Love Him Still" post faith as a means whereby a person might achieve a degree of peace or comprehension. Based in part on the idea that "Childhood lessons last throughout adulthood", "Az If" seeks to characterize the "Reality Of A 13-Year Old Manchild in Da' Hood". The end of the text offers a fairly candid look into "That Mirror". The concluding pages of "Az If" furnish some "Final Thoughts" addressing facets of mortality and spirituality. From the peaks and valleys, defining romance, to the strength that may come through prayer, the collection covers a range of themes and scenarios. Altogether this book offers a design to mark phases of thinking as well as enlightening and provoking thought for the reader. "Az If" is fresh and original. Readers from all walks of life will appreciate the truth and experiences in this novel. This book relays to the reader to take note of their acquired knowledge, both as an outlet and even as a blueprint for your life, and ultimately to better understand your God given path.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, journalism, politics, and social advocacy were largely male preserves. Six women, however, did manage to come to prominence through their writing and public performance: Agnes Maule Machar, Sara Jeannette Duncan, E. Pauline Johnson, Kathleen Blake Coleman, Flora MacDonald Denison, and Nellie L. McClung. The Woman's Page is a detailed study of these six women and their respective works. Focusing on the diverse sources of their rhetorical power, Janice Fiamengo assesses how popular poetry, journalism, essays, and public speeches enabled these women to play major roles in the central debates of their day. A few of their names, particularly those of McClung and Johnson, are still well known today, although studies of their writings and speeches are limited. Others are almost entirely unknown, an unfortunate fact given the wit, intelligence, and passion of their writing and self-presentation. Seeking to return their words to public attention, The Woman's Page demonstrates how these women influenced readers and listeners regarding their society's most controversial issues.
