Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of Female Heroism After the unfortunate issue of the battle of Worcester, Charles passed from the faithful guardianship of the Pen dereis, of Boscobel, to the house of his loyal adherent, Mr. Whitgreave, of Moseley but the search and suspicion to which this gentleman was subject as a Roman Catholic, made his house too unsafe a retreat for him to remam there; and it was soon agreed amongst his friends that he should remove to Bentley Hall, about four miles distant, the residence of Mr. Lane and his son, Colonel John Lane.

The Heroine's Journey
Author: Maureen MurdockPublisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1611808308
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
The Heroine’s Journey describes contemporary woman’s search for wholeness in a society where she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing on cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture. This special anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Christine Downing and preface by the author, illuminates that this need is just as relevant today as it was when the book was originally published thirty years ago.

Book Description
Noor Inayat Khan was the first female radio operator sent into occupied France and transferred crucial messages to the Resistance. Johtje Vos, a Dutch housewife, hid Jews in her home and repeatedly outsmarted the Gestapo. Law student Hannie Schaft became involved in the most dangerous resistance work—sabotage, weapons transference, and assassinations. Soviet pilot Anna Yegorova flew missions against the Germans on the Eastern Front in an all-male regiment, eventually becoming a squadron leader. In these pages, young readers will meet these and many other similarly courageous women and girls who risked their lives to help defeat the Nazis. Thirty-two engaging and suspense-filled stories unfold from across Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Denmark, Great Britain, the United States and, in this expanded edition, the Soviet Union, providing an inspiring reminder of women and girls' refusal to sit on the sidelines around the world and throughout history. An overview of World War II and summaries of each country's entrance and involvement in the war provide a framework for better understanding each woman's unique circumstances, and resources for further learning follow each profile. Women Heroes of World War II is an invaluable addition to any student's or history buff's bookshelf.
