Mainly for the better I will add! I can’t wait to give it to my daughters to read, they probably won’t believe half of it. I enjoyed his research findings and thinking about the way things have changed in the decades since the 1960s. Richard Glover has covered so much in this book, attitudes to women, parenting styles, food, anyone who was different, politics, history…the list is endless. I enjoyed this book and kept reading interesting bits out to my husband, before he told me that he’d read it himself, so could I not share all the good bits along the way!Īs a child during the years of this book, 1960s and 70s, I remember lots of these happenings, but with perspective and age now, it appears they perhaps weren’t quite the heady days we remember.

Teenager Astrid has it down to a fine art. Sending love to the aeroplanes while lying on a picnic table is something I’d like to do a little more often. ![]() ![]() ![]() Each of the March sister heroines had a harrowing experience that alerted her and the reader that "childhood innocence" was of the past, and that "the inescapable woman problem" was all that remained. The term "little women" represented the period in a young woman's life where childhood and elder childhood were "overlapping" with young womanhood. One of her challenges is trying to control her anger, a challenge that her mother experiences. Meg is beautiful and traditional, Jo is a tomboy who writes Beth is a peacemaker and a pianist Amy is an artist who longs for elegance and fine society. Beth, too timid for school, is content to stay at home and help with housework Amy is still at school. Meg and Jo March, the elder two, have to work in order to support the family: Meg teaches a nearby family of four children Jo assists her aged great-aunt March, a wealthy widow living in a mansion, Plumfield. The women face their first Christmas without him. Having lost all his money, their father is acting as a pastor, miles from home, involved in the American Civil War.

Little Women is a semi-autobiographical account of Louisa May Alcott's childhood with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The non-violent direct action by nine Catholics was distinctive for implicating the church in the anti-war movement (Dan and his brother Phil appeared in collars on the cover of Time) but even more so for casting the action in the poetics of liturgy. The poem stems from his own imprisonment for burning draft files in Catonsville, MD as a protest in 1968 against the war in Vietnam. The house and wall are gone altogether, but still I know it by heart. ![]() With permanent marker, in his distinctive hand, Daniel Berrigan, poet and priest, covered the dining room wall of our little hospitality and resistance house in Battle Creek with this portion of “Tulips in the prison yard.” It was a blessing and virtually a call to discipleship. You stand, a first flicker in the brain’s soil, the precursor Of ignorant furies, the slavish pieties of judas priests Kurt Vonnegut once quipped, “For me, Daniel Berrigan is Jesus as poet.” For Berrigan, poetry was mode and method of survival. ![]() ![]() ![]() There's Ginsburg the night-owl workaholic, taking President Bill Clinton's 1993 phone call offering the Supreme Court nomination shortly before midnight, after the president had watched an NBA basketball game that went into triple overtime. Tipped off by her tax attorney husband, Martin, to a Colorado man's obscure challenge involving the otherwise mundane Internal Revenue Code, she broke out into a broad smile and said, "Let's take it!" ![]() There's Ginsburg the appellate lawyer, winning a series of precedent-setting cases in the 1970s on gender equality. From O'Connor, she learned to "waste no time on anger, regret or resentment, just get the job done" from Scalia, to attack ideas, not people, because "some very good people have some very bad ideas." ![]() There is Ginsburg the friend and mentor, recalling her relationships with Republican nominees Sandra Day O'Connor and Antonin Scalia. In My Own Words, a collection of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's writings and speeches dating back to the eighth grade, the woman now known as "Notorious R.B.G." comes across not as the rock-star liberal jurist her adoring fans celebrate, but a cool cucumber in the white-hot world of Washington, a voice of reason speaking up for civility. ![]() |
