A Dash of Love
Joan Ryan began her formal chef training at age seven cooking omelets in the kitchen of their family home in Chicago. She continued her apprenticeship through her teenage years when she learned to bake Christmas cookies, Chicken Kiev, pasta, crepes, and fondue. She religiously watched Julia Child on PBS, then graduated to the food network and is a big fan of Top Chef, which has expanded her culinary repertoire. Joan's passion for cooking stems from her love of eating and entertaining friends and family. Many of the recipes in this cookbook were first tasted by Joan at the homes of her family and friends. She shamelessly stole these wonderful recipes and has made these same celebrated dishes many times over the years for hungry fans. Joan counts herself as a very lucky person who is blessed with friends and family who not only provide wonderful recipes but who keep her laughing and perpetually fascinated with their conversation. This is Joan's first book.
Suffrage Reader
This reader contains a mixture of new narratives on suffrage, together with reinterpretations of some long-established "truths" about the campaign by British women for the vote. Some chapters shift the focus from "the great and the good" based in London, and explore the issues which motivated supporters in other parts of Britain. Other chapters illuminate the lengths some men were prepared to go to see women become voters - and the lengths others were prepared to go to stop them. A variety of topics is covered by the contributors, who include both established scholars and writers relatively new to the field. "A Suffrage Reader" provides an opportunity to push back the boundaries of suffrage history, enabling us to think again about the diverse and sometimes contraditory motives for, and outcomes of, involvement in the long campaign by women for the vote in Britain. The book also makes it possible to pause and reflect upon recent developments in writing on suffrage history, and the extent to which this has been bound up with developing attitudes towards politics in the latter decades of the 20th century.

Little Girls in Pretty Boxes
WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY FORMER OLYMPIC GYMNAST JAMIE DANTZSCHER Welcome to the world of women's gymnastics and figure skating--the real world that happens away from the cameras, at the training camps and in the private lives of these talented teenage competitors. From starvation diets and debilitating injuries to the brutal tactics of tyrannical gymnastics guru Béla Károlyi, LITTLE GIRLS IN PRETTY BOXES portrays the horrors endured by girls at the hands of their coaches and sometimes their own families--and is now updated with a new introduction and foreword that address the sexual abuse scandal perpetrated by USA Gymnastics national team doctor, Larry Nassar. This groundbreaking book shows how a longstanding culture of abuse made young gymnasts perfect targets for a sexual predator, and continues to plead for sanity, safety, and an end to our national obsession: winning at any cost.
