To Be a Woman: The Life of Jill Craigie

Carl Rollyson


To Be a Woman: The Life of Jill Craigie Carl Rollyson Jill Craigie-filmmaker, writer, pioneering feminist and devoted wife to former Labour Leader Michael Foot-led an extraordinary life. Strikingly attractive, fiercely independent and politically radical, Craigie established a reputation as a filmmaker with her 1944 film, Out of Chaos, becoming the first female director to gain national attention. Talented and versatile, she wrote several film scripts, numerous articles, radio plays, and successful columns, but she always struggled as a woman and a socialist in a male-dominated, conservative industry. Her fifty-year marriage to Michael Foot, the love of her life, involved her in politics at the highest level. The couple's mutual interest in literature and the arts made their Hampstead house a meeting place for artists, writers, actors, and politicians alike. Carl Rollyson has created an intimate and honest portrait of this charismatic figure, who never ceased to push the boundaries of what it meant to be a twentieth-century woman. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Jill Craigie-filmmaker, writer, pioneering feminist and devoted wife to former Labour Leader Michael Foot-led an extraordinary life.

Sailor from Oklahoma: One Man's Two-Ocean War

Floyd Beaver


Sailor from Oklahoma: One Man's Two-Ocean War Floyd Beaver Floyd Beaver left Oklahoma to enlist in the U.S. Navy on June 6, 1939, and over the course of World War II served in fifteen ships. He saw combat in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Pacific, including the hotly contested Solomon campaign aboard the diminutive HMNZS Moa, barely escaping with his life when Japanese aircraft sank the ship in April 1943. His memoir describes the war and the months of preparation leading up to it from the perspective of a young seaman in the Regular Navy. The details he provides about how the enlisted men lived and interacted with officers offer a glimpse into a world rarely seen by outsiders a clash of cultures that, he says, affected the conduct of the war. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Floyd Beaver left Oklahoma to enlist in the U.S. Navy on June 6, 1939, and over the course of World War II served in fifteen ships.
