I have been a story weaver from childhood. I love kids and am a devoted Christian.I've been both a licensed teacher and nurse. In both of these professions there seems to be a gap between what is hoped for and what really is. I sincerely believe that the Christian faith can help fill that gap.In writing these books, I've aimed at the children who may listen to these words, and the adults who will read to them. There is a child inside each of us, who may find healing remembering these stories.My husband and I live on a farm, homesteaded by my grandfather. I am the youngest of seven. We attend church nearly every Sunday. We have two grown children and four grand-children. Recently I have been working on a puppet play with the young teens at church.. I hope to write a sequel to these books, called "The Promise".
The Rev. Dr. Les Brockway has written about the life and story of his wife Margaret. This book is about the whole of Margaret's life, but it highlights the time when she really came into her own during the 17 years living and working in Darwin, especially among the Aboriginal people. Among other things, she became Secretary and Personal Assistant to the Rev. Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra, the head of the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress. The book was published prematurely, expecting that Margaret would soon die from the effects of, or in association with, Alzheimer's disease. Margaret died 17 January 2014.
Contains letters, journals, and reminiscences showing the impact of the frontier on women's lives and the role of women in the West.
“Psychologically rich. . . . Matteson’s book restores the heroism of [Fuller’s] life and work.”—The New Yorker A brilliant writer and a fiery social critic, Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) was perhaps the most famous American woman of her generation. Outspoken and quick-witted, idealistic and adventurous, she became the leading female figure in the transcendentalist movement, wrote a celebrated column of literary and social commentary for Horace Greeley’s newspaper, and served as the first foreign correspondent for an American newspaper. While living in Europe she fell in love with an Italian nobleman, with whom she became pregnant out of wedlock. In 1848 she joined the fight for Italian independence and, the following year, reported on the struggle while nursing the wounded within range of enemy cannons. Amid all these strivings and achievements, she authored the first great work of American feminism: Woman in the Nineteenth Century. Despite her brilliance, however, Fuller suffered from self-doubt and was plagued by ill health. John Matteson captures Fuller’s longing to become ever better, reflected by the changing lives she led.
Insightful account of the life and works of two of the most important figures in twentieth-century British cultural life.
Unearthing new evidence to provide a richer understanding of her life, this study, now available in paperback, delves beyond the familiar image of Ellen Wilkinson on the Jarrow Crusade. From a humble background, she ascended to the rank of minister in the 1945 Labour government. Yet she was much more than a conventional Labour politician. She wrote journalism, political theory and novels. She was both a socialist and a feminist; at times, she described herself as a revolutionary. She experienced Soviet Russia, the Indian civil disobedience campaign, the Spanish Civil War and the Third Reich. This study deploys transnational and social movement theory perspectives to grapple with the complex itinerary of her ideas. Interest in Wilkinson remains strong among academic and non-academic audiences alike. This is in part because her principal concerns – working-class representation, the status of women, capitalist crisis, war, anti-fascism – remain central to contentious politics today.
