Elizabeth Fox-Genovese
A celebrated historian and women’s studies scholar, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese roiled both disciplines with her transition from Marxist-inclined feminist to conservative public intellectual. In the first major biography of this singular and controversial scholar, Deborah Symonds explores Fox-Genovese’s enormous personal archive and traces Fox-Genovese’s life from a brilliant girl in the World War II era struggling with demanding parents and anorexia to a woman intellectual in the later twentieth century and into the new millennium, providing an illuminating and moving psychological portrait. Never settled, Fox-Genovese was, by turns, a French historian, Marxist feminist, literary critic, southern historian, Red Tory, public intellectual, and conservative Catholic—but still, in her eyes, a feminist. This biography sheds new light on its subject’s dynamic and intellectually productive marriage to leftist historian Eugene D. Genovese. In her provocative politics, which confront us still with the complexities of left and right, and her constant search for her place in the world, Fox-Genovese’s story resonates more strongly than ever.

Hannah Fox
When Hannah Fox's younger brother Sam is ridden down in the street by Thomas Truswell, the spoilt son of the most powerful industrialists in Sheffield, she sets off to the Truswell's estate to complain. Lady Truswell is taken with the hot-tempered young girl who has come to demand an apology of her son. Promising to deal with Thomas, Lady Truswell offers Hannah a position as housemaid on the estate. But Hannah's father forbids her to have anything to do with the Truswells. In his anger he reveals that his grandfather was once in partnership with a Truswell, who stole his silver designs and made a fortune that should have rightly been shared with the Foxes. Dismissing this as history, Hannah resolves to defy her father - only to find that the Truswells' taste for treachery is not all in the past.
Feminism Without Illusions
In arguing that feminism has neither adequately acknowledged its ties to individualism nor squarely faced the extent to which many of its campaigns for social justice are based on the insistence of rights for the individual over good of the community, thi
We Are Going to Be Lucky
Tells the story of a young couple in love during World War II, and the difficulties they faced both at war and on the home front. We Are Going to Be Lucky tells the story of a first-generation Jewish American couple separated by war, captured in their own words. Lenny and Diana Miller were married just one year before America entered World War II. Deeply committed to social justice and bonded by love, both vowed to write to one another daily after Lenny enlisted in 1943. As Lenny made his way through basic training in Mississippi to the beaches of Normandy and eventually to the Battle of the Bulge, Diana struggled financially, giving up her job as a machinist to become a mother. Their contri...
"Feminism is Not the Story of My Life"
The acclaimed author of the controversial Feminism without Illusions makes an impassioned plea for feminism to return to its roots. Basing her work on public opinion polls and 40 extended formal interviews with women of many backgrounds, Fox-Genovese uncovers the issues truly central to real women's lives and eloquently outlines ways to recognize and act on these concerns.
Within the Plantation Household
Documenting the difficult class relations between women slaveholders and slave women, this study shows how class and race as well as gender shaped women's experiences and determined their identities. Drawing upon massive research in diaries, letters, memoirs, and oral histories, the author argues that the lives of antebellum southern women, enslaved and free, differed fundamentally from those of northern women and that it is not possible to understand antebellum southern women by applying models derived from New England sources.
Watermelon Dreams
Although Watermelon Dreams evolved over several years, the finished book developed during the present coronavirus pandemic. Documenting the evolution of a sprawling, often eccentric, mid-American family, its heart, or central section, depicts another time of crisis: WWII, especially as witnessed by a very young child. Based on stories told to me as I was growing up, intimate memories arose in the act of writing as vivid, sensual recollections and fears of the unknown. Emotions for which I did not yet have words. Urgent voices on the radio were terrifying, especially since I knew somehow they were related to my absent soldier father. Feelings I did not understand, like jealousy and envy, combined with an anxiety that surfaced in hysterical nightmares. Throughout this instability and insecurity was the solid protection of my maternal grandparents, the love of my mother and older brother, the feeling of being sheltered from the chaos around us—in other words, family. Such is the comfort we seek now, and in the end will sustain us.
The ten Golden Rules of Leadership
Great leadership can make a difference to any organisation. The ten Golden Rules of Leadership is a guide to help anyone develop their capabilities in this area. The simple, but practical nature of the ‘rules’ have proven to be a great anchor and serve as a constant reminder for what individuals need to be doing to motivate, develop and inspire the people they lead. The ‘Golden Rules’ have been developed by Elizabeth and Martin using all the lessons they’ve learnt as leaders themselves over the last 20 years – both when they’ve got it right but more importantly, when they’ve got it wrong. By sharing some of their successes as well as their mistakes, Elizabeth and Martin have written The ten Golden Rules of Leadership to help the reader avoid falling into some of the same traps as they did. With practical hints and tips for how to demonstrate each ‘rule’, The ten Golden Rules of Leadership will enable anyone to enhance what they are already doing as a leader.
Sinful Boss
What he says goes. So says the captain of the yacht on my summer internship, anyway. I’m set to be the medical staff on his boat as we sail to Alaska. Tall, dark, and handsome, he is easily the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. But he and I share a secret: we hooked up in Vegas a few months ago. In the cold light of day, he demands to keep our fling under wraps. That’s the thing about passion and secrets, though… Put enough pressure on any situation and it’s bound to explode. And the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention? As soon as he has a moment of weakness… I’m there to fan the flames and make him desire me. Soon the captain takes control of me… of my body… of my soul... We travel up the Alaskan coastline, trappen in close quarters. A breathless love begins to grow between us. But will I ever be more than just an employee to him?
