Book Description
After losing her son and husband, and moving off the family farm into the city, Sylvia fi lls her days with visits to the local library, computer classes, her granddaughter, and retribution. Sylvia watched her own family fall apart, and those of her friends, not to mention the slow disintegration of her beloved hometown, Boganindra, in country New South Wales. Sylvia begins to feel helpless, and hopeless. Until she has a chance meeting with a man in her computer class at the local library. She learns that something can be done. There are ways to stop someone from ruining peoples’ lives. From taking over the “failing” mum-and-dad businesses in small towns and incorporating them into much bigger, modern, mechanised businesses and then making their long serving staff “redundant”. With an uncanny knack of fading into the shadows, and being very “unmemorable”, Sylvia not only fi nds it almost impossible to get any kind of service in a coffee shop, but she fi nds that when she really needs to “disappear in a crowd” she has no trouble.

Sylvia Pankhurst
Author: Rachel Holmes
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408880431
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 739
Book Description
'A wonderful book ... Holmes sublimely illuminates Sylvia's extraordinary life' The Times 'A masterpiece' Vanessa Redgrave _______________ Born into one of Britain's most famous activist families, Sylvia Pankhurst was a natural rebel. A free spirit and radical visionary, history placed her in the shadow of her famous mother, Emmeline, and elder sister, Christabel. Yet artist Sylvia Pankhurst was the most revolutionary of them all. Sylvia found her voice fighting for votes for women, imprisoned and tortured in Holloway prison more than any other suffragette. But the vote was just the beginning of her lifelong defence of human rights. She engaged with political giants, warned of fascism in Europe, championed the liberation struggles in Africa and India and became an Ethiopian patriot. Her intimate life was no less controversial. The rupture between Sylvia, Emmeline and Christabel became worldwide news, while her romantic life drew public speculation and condemnation. Rachel Holmes interweaves the personal and political in an extraordinary celebration of a life in resistance, painting a compelling portrait of one of the greatest unsung political figures of the twentieth century. 'A monument to an astonishing life' Daily Telegraph, Best Biographies of 2020 'A robust and sensitive biography' Sunday Times, History Books of the Year 'A moving, powerful biography' Guardian

Pages : 224
Book Description
This volume contains the combined Proceedings of the Second International Meeting on Commutative Algebra and Related Areas (SIMCARA) held from July 22–26, 2019, at the Universidade de São Paulo, São Carlos, Brazil, and the AMS Special Session on Commutative Algebra, held from September 14–15, 2019, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin.
