Carrie Catt: Feminist Politician
by: Fowler, Robert Booth

Hardcover. Boston, Northeastern University, 1st, 1986, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover. Light wear and rubbing to dust jacket, spine slightly sunned. Fowler attempts to restore to Catt her central role in the suffragist movement in the United States and in the founding of the League of Women Voters.

Rather, the work aims primarily at an analysis of Catt as a political leader and political visionary.

Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation: A Reading of the Lyrics 1965-1967by: Renza, Louis A.

Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation: A Reading of the Lyrics 1965-1967
by: Renza, Louis A.

Hardcover. New York, Bloomsbury Academic, 1st, 2017, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 224 pages. Hardcover with no dust jacket. A very clean, unmarked copy with no visible wear. Price sticker to back cover. Otherwise a tight copy. Many critics have interpreted Bob Dylan's lyrics, especially those composed during the middle to late 1960s, in the contexts of their relation to American folk, blues, and rock 'n' roll precedents; their discographical details and concert performances; their social, political and cultural relevance; and/or their status for discussion as "poems." Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation instead focuses on how all of Dylan's 1965-1967 songs manifest traces of his ongoing, internal "autobiography" in which he continually declares and questions his relation to a self-determined existential summons.

Entirely up to you, Darling (SIGNED COPY)by: Attenborough, Richard; Hawkins, Diana

Entirely up to you, Darling (SIGNED COPY)
by: Attenborough, Richard; Hawkins, Diana

Hardcover. London, Hutchinson, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 318 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. SIGNED BY ATTENBOROUGH on title page, otherwise clean and tight copy. Pictures throughout. The long awaited autobiography by one of the world's best-loved actors and directors. The story begins in 1983 with a famously weeping Attenborough accepting two Oscars when his film Gandhi broke all previous records to win a total of eight Academy awards. Hawkins, 67, is Attenborough's publicist, confidante, co-producer and long-term business partner. Attenborough reflects on the highs and lows of a long life both in and out of the public gaze. Few know, for instance, that he once risked prison on a matter of conscience or that, as an air-gunner cameraman, he took part in bombing raids over Germany during the war. More poignantly, Attenborough will finally break his silence about his long-running friendship with Princess Diana, and the tsunami tragedy that robbed him of his eldest daughter and granddaughter in December 2004.
