Memories grave and gay
Not every person receives a chance to live a life as bright and full of prominent events as the author of "Memories grave and gay," Florence Howe Hall. She was an American writer, critic, and lecturer about women's suffrage in the United States. Florence Howe Hall was named after Florence Nightingale, who was a close friend of her family and her godmother. Being born in the 1840s, she witnessed the twilight of the American South, the Civil War, and the rise of the new country with its new political movements. Her memoir is an extremely interesting book about life in America in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th.

Edwardian Fashions
Although Edwardian-era clothing remains popular among fashion enthusiasts, there are very few books focusing on styles of the early 1900s. This compilation bridges that gap with dozens of authentic images from the period, selected from 1906 editions of Harper's Bazar. Since its first publication in 1867, the magazine has reflected contemporary styles and trends, and these illustrations — from spring hats and fancy aprons to French evening gowns and bridal attire — offer an intriguing reflection of American values at the turn of the twentieth century. The four-part collection begins with everyday fashions, including sweeping gowns for home, travel, and outdoors. A section of seasonal fashions features spring and summer ensembles, followed by an assortment of styles for weddings, the theater, and other special occasions. The final section, For the Young and Old, includes simple gowns for both ends of the age spectrum as well as graduation gowns. Costumers, fashion designers, and anyone interested in the history of style and couture will welcome this choice assembly of genuine Edwardian fashions. www.doverpublications.com

Women have made an amazing, creative, and prolific contribution to hymnody through the centuries of Christian worship. Excluded from liturgical commissions and denied other opportunities for involvement in the worship of the churches, women were able to express and influence spirituality in the writing of hymns. This influence spreads across the whole range of hymn-writing, including writing for children, which was at one time seen as women's natural place, but also the introduction of new voices through translations; engagement in social campaigns such as temperance and the abolition of slavery; mission and evangelism; and the general development of worshipping life. However, with the excep...
Gender, Race, and Power in the Indian Reform Movement
"Founded in the late nineteenth century, the Women's National Indian Association was one of several reform associations that worked to implement the government's assimilation policy directed at Native peoples. While male reformers worked primarily in the political arena, the women of the WNIA combined political action with efforts to improve health and home life and spread Christianity on often remote reservations. During its more than seventy-year history, the WNIA established over sixty missionary sites in which they provided Native peoples with home-building loans, supported the work of government teachers and field matrons, founded schools, built missionary cottages and chapels, and work...

Antebellum American Women's Poetry
