Pressestimmen

"Buy Nies's book and read it aloud faithfully, until all of you, young and old, have shared and incorporated into your vision of America the heroic, unique, and visionary contribution women have made to the history of the United States."-Cynthia Warrick Kemper, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Judith Nies [writes] about those courageous, visionary women in our history who were driven to write for and live for wider audiences.... It is about women who chose confrontation with the formidable forces of society rather than quiet communion with their diaries."-Elizabeth Benedict, Christian Science Monitor "Judith Nies begins here to restore the great women radicals to the tradition, knowing that to think of these heroic women simply as fighters for women's suffrage and women's rights is to impoverish...the larger political tradition of which it is a part."-Frances Putnam Fritchman, In These Times "Readers will be remembering a long time the vivid Mary Harris Jones, "Mother Jones," organizing coal miners...remarkable for insight are Nies's essays on Dorothy Day and Charlotte Perkins Gilman."-Willie Lee

Kurzbeschreibung

In an expanded edition of her history of American women activists, Judith Nies has added biographical essays on feminist Bella Abzug and civil rights visionary Fannie Lou Hamer and a new chapter on women environmental activists. Included are portraits of Sarah Moore Grimke, who rejected her life as a Southern aristocrat and slaveholder to promote women's rights and the abolition of slavery; Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave who led more than three hundred slaves to freedom on the Underground Railway; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the first woman to run for Congress, who advocated for women's rights to own property, to vote, and to divorce; Mother Jones, 'the Joan of Arc of the coalfields', one of the most inspiring voices of the American labor movement; Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who worked for the reform of two of America's most cherished institutions, the home and motherhood; Anna Louise Strong, an intrepid journalist who covered revolutions in Russia and China; and, Dorothy Day, cofounder of the Catholic Worker movement, who fed and sheltered the hungry and homeless in New York's Bowery for more than forty years.

Absolutely Marvelous and Inspiring 30. Oktober 2003
Von C. L. Eisenhardt - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I absolutely loved this book. It was inspiring and moving and informative and beautifully written. I read every word, and was moved to tears several times. One of the true revelations was the piece about Bella Abzug, as I'd fallen prey to the media's image of her as a crazy broad with a hat! It was great to learn about the 'whole' Bella. The Charlotte Perkins Gilman chapter was also highly educational, as I'd only known her through The Yellow Wallpaper. But every chapter was fascinating, from the one on Mother Jones to the heart-wrenching story of Fannie Lou Hamer. I found myself reading passages aloud to my husband frequently, and he was equally moved and impressed.

Thanks to Judith Nies for writing it, and for so beautifully telling the moving stories of these heroic women. Bravo, bravo, bravo....

Fills a gap in the history books 23. Juni 2003
Von Ein Kunde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Were you, like me, alwaays vaguely aware of Mother Jones, but ignorant of exactly who she was and what she did? This book filled some important gaps in my general knowledge, and inspired me with the stories of women who were able to see through the injustices of their time (slavery, unfair labor practices, denying women the vote, polluting, etc.) and work toward a boader view of justice and dignity, often at great personal cost. Nies is a thoughtful and measured writer, letting her own anger at injustice shine through these women's stories rather than using her subjects to advance her own agenda. Highly recommended.
