DOWNLOAD EBOOKA national bestseller, this lushly illustrated book is an inclusive celebration of inspiring women who transformed the world and created social change. Dead Feminists is a gorgeously illustrated letterpress-inspired book showcasing feminist history with a vision for a better future. Based on the beloved letterpress poster series of the same name, this book brings feminist history to life, profiling 27 unforgettable forebears of the modern women’s movement such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Gwendolyn Brooks, Rachel Carson, and more. Across eras and industries, passions and geographies, this collection of diverse, progressive, and perseverant women faced what looked like insurmountable odds and yet, still, they persisted. Dead Feminists, which features a foreword by Jill Lepore, author of The Secret History of Wonder Woman, is an illuminating and innovative reminder that women can be extraordinary agents of change. The future is female, but in many ways so is the past. Dead Feminists takes feminist inspiration to a new level of artistry and shows how ordinary and extraordinary women have made a difference throughout history (and how you can too). Featured Feminists: Adina De Zavala Alice Paul Annie Oakley Babe Zaharias Eleanor Roosevelt Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elizabeth Zimmerman Emma Goldman Fatima al-Fihri Gwendolyn Brooks Harriet Tubman Imogen Cunningham Jane Mecom Marie Curie Queen Lili’uokalani Rachel Carson Rywka Lipszyc Sadako Sasaki Sappho Sarojini Naidu Shirley Chisholm Thea Foss Virginia Woolf Washington State Suffragists

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIdioms exist in every language. Where there's language, there's figurative language. Idioms are created by putting together a play on words to come up with a figurative or non-literal way of explaining something by using a clever and witty expression. Many idiomatic expressions were originally meant literally. Over time, word usage changed and the phrase or expression grew away from its original roots and made no sense. The actual meaning of words has changed over time too. For instance, in the late thirteenth century, nice meant foolish, ignorant, frivolous or senseless; today it is a compliment. Many concepts are expressed by idioms, such as hit the road (to leave), break the ice (to make a start at something), bull in a china shop (a person who breaks things or who often makes mistakes) and kid in a candy shop (excited as a result of having many options to choose from). In English alone, there are an estimated twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions. Many of these idioms are from times past and do not always make sense today when looked at in a literal sense or even a figurative sense. A significant portion of idioms and expressions used today are derived from horses and the lifestyle surrounding equestrians. Horses are no longer the primary means of transportation so the meanings of these idioms and expressions are lost on most people. Join us on a trip through time as we cover the meanings and origins of words, idioms and expressions related to horses.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe soldier-horse relationship was nurtured by The British Army because it made the soldier and his horse into an effective fighting unit. Soldiers and their Horses explores a complex relationship forged between horses and humans in extreme conditions. As both a social history of Britain in the early twentieth century and a history of the British Army, Soldiers and their Horses reconciles the hard pragmatism of war with the imaginative and emotional. By carefully overlapping the civilian and the military, by juxtaposing "sense" and "sentimentality," and by considering institutional policy alongside individual experience, the soldier and his horse are re-instated as co-participators in The Great War. Soldiers and their Horses provides a valuable contribution to current thinking about the role of horses in history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSimon Marshall, former champion jockey, is a young man on the move. He is 38 years old, cocky, confident, full of charm and goodwill. He comes across as a loveable larrikin. He is brash but he gives no offence. Men relate to his sporting prowess and his directness. Women think he is cute. He rode effectively for only 11 years but chalked up more achievements than most jockeys do in a lifetime. He has since become a commentator for Channel 7 and worked for Radio SEN. In the corporate world he is the front man for BC3 Thoroughbreds, a company that buys yearlings, educates and develops them before on-selling them as two-year-olds. He is an ambassador for the Cancer Foundation and a willing contributor to charitable organizations such as the Doxa Foundation for under- privileged children. In this book Simon tells how he became a jockey, the thrill of winning, the tortures of wasting, his clashes with the stewards, the happy times, the low times, and the funny times.
