After Malloryżs car accident, an angel appeared to lead her to her new celestial home, but Mallory wasnżt ready to go. So when another woman burst through the clouds, leaving behind a dying body, Mallory leapt back to Earth, to a second chance for life. Duke Varden had had his fill of treacherous women. His lovely wife had killed what little love heżd had, seven long years before. But when she suffered a mishap giving birth, suddenly she was not her usual, viscous self. Now she was laughing, calling herself Mallory, and turning his life upside-down. But Varden refused to be drawn in by the same deceptive charms that had fooled him once before. Mallory was having the time of her life jogging through the castle, gambling with the guards and gradually gaining the love of the stranger who was her husband. So what if she had to suffer a spiteful mother-in-law, an evil brother-in-law and a husband full of icy condemnation. Wasn't winning the love of a lifetime worth all that?

John and Mary Elitch arrived in Colorado in 1880, and their first business venture was a restaurant. In 1888, John bought the sixteen-acre Chilcott Farm in the Highlands northwest of Denver. On May 1, 1890, thanks to 'donations' by family friend P.T. Barnum, the couple opened Elitch's Zoological Gardens, which featured a band in the gazebo, café, children's play area, and vaudeville performances, in addition to the zoo. John commenced planning a theater, then unexpectedly died in 1891 before the park's second season, leaving thirty-four-year-old Mary on her own. She resolved to keep the Gardens going, successfully built the playhouse, and journeyed to both New York and San Francisco for the winter season, "auditioning" plays and recruiting players to appear during the summer in Colorado. Elitch's Theatre in the Gardens presented its first full season in 1893 and become the longest-running summer stock theater in the U.S., featuring artists like Sarah Bernhardt and Douglas Fairbanks as special guest performers. Mary Elitch was the first female zookeeper, the first woman to run a botanic garden, and one of the first woman to own a theatre in the United States. This is the biography of a woman who overcame the challenges of widowhood, learned to be a businesswoman, and as the animating spirit of Elitch's Gardens, became one of Denver's cultural institutions -- Mary Elitch Long.
"Barnaby Rudge: a portrait of London's descent into anarchy, where 'King Mob' rules the streets, and innocent lives are swept up in the chaos. Set against the backdrop of the Gordon Riots of 1780, Barnaby Rudge is a story of mystery and suspense which begins with an unsolved double murder and goes on to involve conspiracy, blackmail, abduction and retribution. Through the course of the novel fathers and sons become opposed, apprentices plot against their masters and Protestants clash with Catholics on the streets. And, as London erupts into riot, Barnaby Rudge himself struggles to escape the curse of his own past. Hard times: Coketown is dominated by the figure of Mr Thomas Gradgrind, school owner and model of Utilitarian success. Feeding both his pupils and his family with facts, he bans fancy and wonder from young minds. As a consequence his young daughter Louisa marries the loveless businessman and “bully of humility” Mr Bounderby, and his son Tom rebels to become embroiled in gambling and robbery. And, as their fortunes cross with those of free-spirited circus girl Sissy Jupe and victimized weaver Stephen Blackpool, Gradgrind is eventually forced to recognize the value of the human heart in an age of materialism and machinery"--Penguin Books.
Assembling a full and comprehensive collection of material which illustrates all aspects of the emergent women’s movement during the years 1850-1900, this fascinating book will prove invaluable to students of nineteenth century social history and women's studies, to those studying the Victorian novel and to sociologists. Women’s pamphlets and speeches, parliamentary debates and popular journalism, letters and memoirs, royal commissions and the leading reviews, are all used to document the conflicting images of women: ‘surplus women’ and the issue of emigration; women’s work and male hostility to it; the opening of education by Emily Davies; the claim to equity at law; the attack on the sexual double standard, led by Josephine Butler; women’s public service from philanthropy – exemplified in a Mary Carpenter or Louisa Twining or Octavia Hill – to local government; and finally women’s entry into politics led by Lydia Becker. The contents range from Caroline Norton on her battle for child custody in the 1830s to Annie Besant’s inspiration of the match-girl’s strike in 1888, and from W. T. Stead on child prostitution to Mrs Humphrey War’s Appeal against female suffrage in 1889. The book was originally published in 1979.
