Book Description
Bertha Siegelman grew up in Munich and witnessed the rise of Nazism. Later, she had a role in its downfall. As a young girl, Bertha realized she could sense people’s inner thoughts and peer into the future. Despite her talent, she didn’t make clairvoyance her vocation—at least not initially or by choice. She attended college in Munich, married, and lectured in history. However, as the Third Reich consolidated, Bertha and her husband lost their positions and she turned to her gift to earn a living. As her reputation as a seer spread, her clientele grew in numbers, devotion, and power. Reinhard Beck, a colonel in German counterintelligence, was deeply impressed by her gift and spread word to the upper circles of Berlin, including Hermann Göring and eventually Adolf Hitler himself. Bertha shaped her counsel in a manner that would help bring the Third Reich down, encouraging political and military leaders, including Hitler and Erwin Rommel, to continue the unwinnable war in Russia and delay the response to Allied landings in France. Ultimately, she uses her powers to see that the greatest evil of all vanishes from this world. A fortune teller, then, had as much to do with Hitler’s downfall as any general.

Book Description
The life and accomplishments of an influential leader in the desegregated South This biography of educational activist and Black studies forerunner Bertha Maxwell-Roddey examines a life of remarkable achievements and leadership in the desegregated South. Sonya Ramsey modernizes the nineteenth-century term “race woman” to describe how Maxwell-Roddey and her peers turned hard-won civil rights and feminist milestones into tangible accomplishments in North Carolina and nationwide from the late 1960s to the 1990s. Born in 1930, Maxwell-Roddey became one of Charlotte’s first Black women principals of a white elementary school; she was the founding director of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s Africana Studies Department; and she cofounded the Afro-American Cultural and Service Center, now the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Art + Culture. Maxwell-Roddey founded the National Council for Black Studies, helping institutionalize the field with what is still its premier professional organization, and served as the 20th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., one of the most influential Black women’s organizations in the United States. Using oral histories and primary sources that include private records from numerous Black women’s home archives, Ramsey illuminates the intersectional leadership strategies used by Maxwell-Roddey and other modern race women to dismantle discriminatory barriers in the classroom and the boardroom. Bertha Maxwell-Roddey offers new insights into desegregation, urban renewal, and the rise of the Black middle class through the lens of a powerful leader’s life story. Publication of this work made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Book Description
Time is variable in the remarkable new novel Bertha's Journal: A Perfect Immelman Turn. In 2050, British newlyweds Jacqueline and Harry are rebuilding Thornfield Hall as their new home. They stumble upon a journal packed in salt that was written by a woman, presumed mad, named Bertha, who lived in the nineteenth century. As they begin to read her journal, their carriage is overturned and their driver killed. In another period and place, sometime after Queen Victoria's death, a student named Moksha takes the journal to her teacher Vedanta to read. Or is it possible they are writing it? Back in the future, Jacqueline and Harry read of Bertha's struggle to find her identity and her version of the events that led to the fire at Thornfield Hall, all of which is having a strange effect upon Jacqueline. Thornfield Hall possesses a history that increasingly threatens the couple's new married life. What secrets did a dead ancestor bury in her book? Inspired by Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and Virginia Woolf's Mrs.Dalloway, Bertha's Journal is an inventive narrative that yields an intriguing look at one of literature's most fascinating characters. A mother of five, Hermione Wilds was raised in Ham, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, and now resides in Shaftesbury, North Dorset. She is writing her next novel.
