the lady makes her mark susanna craig

In this Bridgerton era You’ve Got Mail, the clever, popular, and deliciously shocking ladies’ periodical Mrs. Goode’s Magazine for Misses only employs women who are equal to the challenge—and for one satirical cartoonist her greatest challenge will be keeping her identity a secret from a certain Earl, who is one of her most frequent subjects. A fast-paced, innovative, sexy historical romance with a modern twist that readers of Sabrina Jeffries, Sarah MacLean, and Julia Quinn will adore.Known only as “Miss C.” Constantia Cooper creates satirical cartoons for Mrs. Goode’s. But her anonymity hides a more shocking secret—one that requires she remain elusive. When a scandal at the magazine threatens to expose her, Constantia packs up and flees. But in her haste, she is struck by a carriage and suffers a blow to the head. Fortunately, she’s rescued by a gentleman. Unfortunately, he is all too familiar. Feigning amnesia seems Constantia’s best strategy . . .Alistair Haythorne, Earl of Ryland, would never turn away a lady in distress—even if he’s often the target of said lady’s biting satire. In fact, while “Miss C.” recuperates, he will have her teach his sisters to draw. Perhaps it will inspire a more flattering portrait of him . . .But secrets make interesting bedfellows and as Constantia and Alistair grow closer, their opinions of one another change—drastically. With love in the air, two things stand between them: Alistair’s need to marry an heiress to keep his family’s estate intact . . . and a series of threats that endanger Constantia’s life. Can what keeps them apart ultimately bring them together?

Everything Handmaids wear is red: the colour of blood, which defines us. Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships. She serves in the household of the Commander and his wife, and under the new social order she has only one purpose: once a month, she must lie on her back and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, ecause in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if they are fertile. But Offred remembers the years before Gilead, when she was an independent woman who had a job, a family, and a name of her own. Now, her memories and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. The Handmaid s Tale and its iconic images - the red of the Handmaids, the blue of the Wives, the looming ileadean Eye - have been adapted into a film, an opera, a ballet, and multi-award-winning TV series. This groundbreaking new graphic novel edition, adapted and featuring arresting artwork by Renée Nault, is destined to become a classic in its own right.

It is the world of the near future, and Offred is a Handmaid in the home of the Commander and his wife. She is allowed out once a day to the food market, she is not permitted to read, and she is hoping the Commander makes her pregnant, because she is only valued if her ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she was an independent woman, had a job of her own, a husband and child. But all of that is gone now...everything has changed. Deserves the highest praise. -- San Francisco Chronicle .

A “smart, juicy, deeply reported” (Katie Couric) biography of the most successful female broadcaster of all time—Barbara Walters—a woman whose personal demons fueled an ambition that broke all the rules and finally gave women a permanent place on the air, written by bestselling author Susan Page.Barbara Walters was a force from the time TV was exploding on the American scene in the 1960s to its waning dominance in a new world of competition from streaming services and social media half a century later. She was not just a groundbreaker for women (Oprah announced when she was seventeen that she wanted to be Barbara Walters), but also expanded the big TV interview and then dominated the genre. By the end of her career, she had interviewed more of the famous and infamous, from presidents to movie stars to criminals to despots, than any other journalist in history. Then at sixty-seven, past the age of many female broadcasters found themselves involuntarily retired, she pioneered a new form of talk TV called The View. She is on the short list of those who have left the biggest imprints on television news and on our culture, male or female. So, who was the woman behind the legacy? In The Rulebreaker, Susan Page conducts 150 interviews and extensive archival research to discover that Walters was driven to keep herself and her family afloat after her mercurial and famous impresario father attempted suicide. But she never lost the fear of an impending catastrophe, which is what led her to ask for things no woman had ever asked for before, to ignore the rules of misogynistic culture, to outcompete her most ferocious competitors, and to protect her complicated marriages and love life from scrutiny. Page breaks news on every front—from the daring things Walters did to become the woman who reinvented the TV interview to the secrets she kept until her heath. This is the “stunning” (Norah O’Donnell), “brilliantly written” (Andrea Mitchell) account of the woman who knew she had to break all the rules so she could break all the rules about what viewers deserved to know.

This survey of the life and work of American painter Susan Watkins explores how she and other women artists carved paths to success at the turn of the twentieth century  In a career that spanned only a little more than fifteen years, American artist Susan Watkins (1875⠓1913) reached the heights of her profession, exhibiting regularly at the Paris Salon and earning accolades among the American art press. This study offers a close look at Watkins⠙s story and considers how women artists of the era overcame barriers within the institutions that structured the professional art world, often through training and exhibiting at established and traditional settings.  Exploring what artistic and commercial success looked like for Watkins and her contemporaries, scholars reexamine Watkins⠙s achievements and highlight the overlooked progressive nature of her art. Essays discuss women⠙s art training in the United States, women⠙s art clubs in Paris, the expatriate artist community in Capri, and the role of racial and class politics in careers such as Watkins⠙s. With more than seventy-five objects⠔including paintings, drawings, photographs, and manuscripts⠔from the artist⠙s personal archive and works by her peers and teachers⠔such as William Merritt Chase, Meta Warrick Fuller, Anna Klumpke, Elizabeth Nourse, Lilla Cabot Perry, and Henry Ossawa Tanner⠔this beautifully illustrated book offers a new way to understand the stakes and accomplishments of women artists working at the turn of the twentieth century.  Published in association with the Chrysler Museum of Art  Exhibition Schedule:  Dixon Gallery and Gardens, Memphis (July 13⠓September 28, 2025)  Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk (October 17, 2025⠓January 11, 2026)

With an Introduction, explanatory notes, and annotated bibliography by Nicholas Seager.This collection brings together Jane Austenâ ™s earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austenâ ™s manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.

Historický, romantický a napínavý příběh z prostředí skotské Vysočiny, v němž zkušená autorka dovedně využívá svých znalostí domácí skotské tradice i umění upoutat čtenáře dobře skrývaným tajemstvím.Mladá Jana Quayleová píše hrůzostrašné gotické romány, tak oblíbené a žádané, že jí jejich prodej vynesl značné jmění. Mohla si tedy pronajmout odlehlý hrad na skotské Vysočině a tam se pod mužským pseudonymem dále věnovat literární tvorbě. Někomu však tato díla vadí natolik, že chce jejich tvůrce navždy umlčet. A k obavám ze záhadného nepřítele se přidávají další starosti: Jana se dozvídá, že do vsi a hradu míří nový majitel. Může se stát, že ukončí její nájemní smlouvu a ona bude muset odejít z místa, které považovala za svůj domov? Thomas Sutherland je po letech výzvědné služby pro britskou vládu povolán do vlasti. Díky zvláštnostem skotského dědického zákona se totiž neočekávaně stává hrabětem z Magnusu a má se odebrat do svého vzdáleného skotského hrabství. Na místě ho čeká skutečné překvapení: v hradu, který spolu s titulem zdědil, nalézá dívku, jíž se kdysi dvořil. Když zjistí, jaké nebezpečí jí hrozí, zavrhne svůj původní záměr svěřit sídlo správci a rozhodne se chránit tu, již celou dobu choval v srdci. Brzy se však ukáže, že nepřítel není jen jeden…

Po smrti hraběte už tři roky vede prostý, klidný, snad i nudný život. Takže jakmile jí doslova spadne do klína dobrodružství v podobě záhadné knihy, má chuť vytěžit z toho co nejvíc – zvláště když se přitom dostane blíže k charismatickému cizinci. Major Langley Stanhope, prvotřídní důstojník zpravodajské služby, musí získat knihu, která se omylem dostala do Amandiných rukou. Omyl při doručení znamená pro ně smrtelné nebezpečí a vede k zoufalé snaze odhalit zrádce, ale zároveň v obou vyvolá silné, riskantní zalíbení. Langley je sice přesvědčen, že život, který vede, se pro jemnou dámu nehodí, zdá se však, že podceňuje smělost hraběnky a také hloubku vzájemné touhy.

Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
