![]() The second one, meatier and ultimately more satisfying– Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A Biography, by Cynthia J. The first new biography, a must for “Wallpaper” geeks, is the elegantly written Wild Unrest: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the Making of the Yellow Wall-Paper, by Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, which, focuses on Gilman’s early life before she published that story. ![]() Feminists have critiqued Mitchell as personally defining the “20h-century doctor-patient relationship.” In the story, Gilman takes on and names her own famous real-life doctor, Silas Weir Mitchell, who treated her postpartum depression. Since its rediscovery in the 1970s, it has been included in just about every short-story anthology published, iconic for its critique of women infantilized by the medical system. Gilman is most famous for her goth-feminist 1892 short story, “The Yellow Wall-Paper,” about a woman’s prescribed “rest cure” after childbirth and subsequent descent into madness. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 1860-1935, is also re-emerging in the spotlight with a bevy of recent books about her, including two absorbing new biographies. Today, Charlotte Bronte, the author of Jane Eyre, the subject of a big Hollywood film, is not the only 19th-century woman writer newly capturing the public imagination with her portrayal of a “madwoman” in an attic. ![]()

It is a story about Maclean and his brother, Paul, who was beaten to death with a gun butt in 1938. "A River Runs Through It" is a semi-autobiographical account of Maclean's relationship with his brother Paul and their upbringing in an early 20th century Montana family in which "there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing."

So, their entire politics was against one-person-one-vote. ![]() They realised that elections would doom them to a perpetual ‘minority’. On the other hand, the Muslim leadership, represented then by the landlords in the United Province, were sensing a loss of power and privilege. Equal voting suited them because they were a majority. As the British rule in India was making way for elections in the early 20th century, Savarkar and other Hindu nationalists welcomed elections, because their Hindu community was a social majority in India. ![]() The Hindu nationalist project of Savarkar, which is now a century old, is at its heart democratic in the sense of being founded on the acceptance of universal adult franchise and ‘one person, one vote’. I must strongly push back on this suggestion there was no jugalbandi between them. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s hard to believe this is Glover’s first book.

Valora is hoping to gain passage to America as part of the Ringling Brothers circus. I loved Valora and Jamie, the British-Chinese acrobatic twins. Obviously it's a fictional account, but it still taught me about the 6 Chinese survivors who weren't given the same respect as their white counterparts. But, Stacey Lee did a fantastic job of exposing the untold stories of the Chinese survivors of the Titanic. This preamble is all to say that I spent a lot of time googling while reading this, and because of my fascination with shipwrecks I was kind of predisposed to like this. ![]() I also loved the Magic Tree House Tonight on the Titanic book. ![]() I just remember learning about the Edmund Fitzgerald and then spending hours googling and on the phone with my friend talking about it in grade 3.
