The Solitude of Self: Thinking about Elizabeth Cady Stanton
ISBN: 9780374530563 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 135 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Elizabeth Cady Stanton--along with her comrade-in-arms, Susan B. Anthony--was one of the most important leaders of the movement to gain American women the vote. But, as Vivian Gornick argues in this passionate, vivid biographical essay, Stanton is also the greatest feminist thinker of the nineteenth century. Endowed with a philosophical cast of mind large enough to grasp the immensity that women's rights addressed, Stanton developed a devotion to equality uniquely American in character. Her writing and life make clear why feminism as a liberation movement has flourished here as nowhere... Elizabeth Cady Stanton--along with her comrade-in-arms, Susan B.

Przywiązania
ISBN: 9788395797385 / Polski / Twarda / 2021 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Osiemdziesięciopięcioletnia Vivian Gornick ma w Ameryce status literackiej gwiazdy. Sławę przyniosły jej właśnie Przywiązania, które wydała w 1987 roku. Można powiedzieć, że była prekursorką stylu, który wówczas określano mianem „dziennikarstwa osobistego” (personal journalism) – pisarstwa, w którym autobiografia staje się punktem wyjścia do poszukiwania uniwersalnego znaczenia zjawisk i zdarzeń, a to, co prywatne, ujmowane jest jako kulturowe i polityczne. W "Przywiązaniach" Gornick opisuje doświadczenie bycia podwójną outsiderką – kobietą...

Emma Goldman: Revolution as a Way of Life
ISBN: 9780300198232 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Emma Goldman is the story of a modern radical who took seriously the idea that inner liberation is the first business of social revolution. Her politics, from beginning to end, was based on resistance to that which thwarted the free development of the inner self. The right to stay alive in one's senses, to enjoy freedom of thought and speech, to reject the arbitrary use of power--these were key demands in the many public protest movements she helped mount. Anarchist par excellence, Goldman is one of the memorable political figures of our time, not because of her gift for...

There have been numerous books about mother and daughter, but none has dealt with this closest of filial relations as directly or as ruthlessly.

Born and raised in the Bronx, the daughter of "urban peasants," Gornick grows up in a household dominated by her intelligent but uneducated...
