- Description
- Iedere ochtend zwemt Sally van Zweden naar Denemarken en weer terug. Ze verlangt naar de oceaan. Haar hart is gevuld met de wens het Kanaal over te steken en zo gebeurt het ook: Sally Bauer is de eerste Scandinavische zwemster die in augustus 1939 het Kanaal oversteekt. Vele jaren later leeft Ellen met dezelfde ambities, maar haar poging om Sally te evenaren mislukt. De teleurstelling verbijt ze, maar het verlangen om te blijven zwemmen zal allesbepalend blijken voor haar en haar familie. Happy Sally is een verhaal over triomf en nederlaag. Twee vrouwen zetten alles op alles om hun doel te bereiken en zijn bereid hun liefde en hun gezin hiervoor op te geven.

- Description
- In the years between the first and second world wars the fenomenon of stardom and celebrity spread to writers. Personal appearances and private lives came to fascinate readers as much as their work. Fame and commercial success of these writers, and their gender affected the literary reception of their work. Literary elites called their writing 'middlebrow'. This book is a comparative study of North American and British literary celebrity. It profiles seven American, Canadian, and British women writers - Dorothy Parker, Anita Loos, Mae West, L. M. Montgomery, Margaret Kennedy, Stella Gibbons, and E.M. Delafield.

- Description
- By combing over the everyday practices of working-class girls in 1920s and 30s England, including a focus on Bermondsey south-east London and oral testimony from women who grew up in the period, the author demonstrates the persistence and ingenuity with which these teenagers gained access to the commercial leisure culture of the day, from hairstyles and fashionable dress to films, music, and dances. She shows how this access had a startling ripple effect, transforming the way young women rehearsed and contested their identities so that play, rather than work, became the primary mechanism for defining subjectivity and constructing femininity.

- Description
- When Virginia Woolf wrote A Room of One’s Own in 1929, she established her reputation as a feminist, a woman who could imagine a more open and liberal reality, and an advocate for the female voice. Indeed the Bloomsbury set has often been identified with liberal, open-minded views: Woolf’s circle of artists and writers were considered Bohemians ahead of their time. But they were also of their time. Like thousands of other British households, Virginia Woolf’s relied on live-in domestics for the most intimate of daily tasks. That room of her own she so valued was cleaned, heated, and supplied with meals by a series of cooks and maids throughout her childhood and adult life. In this book Light gives depth and dignity to the long-overlooked servants who worked for the Bloomsbury intellectuals.
