The Agitators
Three Friends Who Fought for Abolition and Women's Rights
Dorothy Wickenden - 2021-03-30
Calificación de Goodreads
Three women, Harriet Tubman, Frances Seward, and Martha Wright became unlikely collaborators in the fight for abolition and women’s rights in mid-19th century Auburn, New York. Despite their differing backgrounds, they refused to abide by laws that denied equal rights and supported each other as they worked towards full citizenship for blacks and women. Through their stories, reconstructed from letters, diaries, and public appearances, The Agitators provides a unique perspective on the American stories of abolition, the Underground Railroad, women's rights activism, and the Civil War.

Calificación de Goodreads
Primera novela de la serie Los Hijos de la Tierra de Jean M. Auel sobre la vida de nuestros antepasados en la última fase de la Era Glacial, cuando los Neanderthales y los Cro-Magnones compartían la Tierra. La heroína es Ayla, una valiente e indomable joven mujer cuya historia empieza cuando, huérfana de cinco años, es adoptada por el Clan, un grupo de Neanderthales. Al principio, Ayla inspira sorpresa, luego cautela y, por fin, aceptación por parte del Clan. Iza, la curandera, y Creb, el Hombre Santo, cuidan de ella. El comportamiento y las actitudes de los miembros del Clan no le es ajeno. Se interesa por las cacerías y los preparativos de las armas, algo que está prohibido a las mujeres y que ella, no obstante, domina con notable maestría. El Clan del Oso Cavernario es el primer libro de la serie de enorme éxito Los Hijos de la Tierra, que continúa en El Valle de los Caballos, Los Cazadores de Mamuts, Las Llanuras del Tránsito y el esperado y fabuloso quinto título, Los Refugios de Piedra, donde volveremos a vibrar de emoción con Ayla y Jondalar.

Amy Tan - 2006-09-21 (publicado por primera vez en 1989)
Calificación de Goodreads
En 1949, cuatro mujeres chinas que recientemente han emigrado a San Francisco inician una serie de reuniones durante las que comen dim sum, juegan al mah-jong y hablan. Unidas por lo que comparten, la pérdida y la esperanza, se hacen llamar El Club de la Buena Estrella. Con grandes dosis de ingenio y de sensibilidad, Amy Tan explora la conexión a veces dolorosa y a veces tierna, pero siempre profunda, entre las protagonistas y sus hijas ya nacidas en Estados Unidos, un mundo tan distinto al suyo. A medida que cada una de ellas nos va revelando sus secretos y nos van mostrando la verdad sobre sus vidas, los hilos se van entrelazando de una manera casi mágica.

This novel opened my eyes, not only to the distinct and special traditions of the Chinese-American culture but also to the ways in which immigrant women of different generations adapted and adjusted to life in this country.      fuente

Three Daughters of China
Jung Chang - 2003-08-12 (publicado por primera vez en 1991)
Calificación de Goodreads
Una abuela, una madre, una hija. A lo largo de esta saga, tan verídica como espeluznante, tres mujeres luchan por sobrevivir en una China sometida a guerras, invasiones y revoluciones. La abuela de la autora nació en 1909, época en la que China era aún una sociedad feudal. Sus pies permanecieron vendados desde niña, y a los quince años de edad se convirtió en concubina de uno de los numerosos señores de la guerra. In Wild Swans Jung Chang recounts the evocative, unsettling, and insistently gripping story of how three generations of women in her family fared in the political maelstrom of China during the 20th century. Chang's grandmother was a warlord's concubine. Her gently raised mother struggled with hardships in the early days of Mao's revolution and rose, like her husband, to a prominent position in the Communist Party before being denounced during the Cultural Revolution. Chang herself marched, worked, and breathed for Mao until doubt crept in over the excesses of his policies and purges. Born just a few decades apart, their lives overlap with the end of the warlords' regime and overthrow of the Japanese occupation, violent struggles between the Kuomintang and the Communists to carve up China, and, most poignant for the author, the vicious cycle of purges orchestrated by Chairman Mao that discredited and crushed millions of people, including her parents.
