- Description
- For more than a century before gay marriage became a political issue, same-sex unions flourished in America. Pairs of men and pairs of women joined together in committed unions, for periods of thirty or forty—sometimes as many as fifty—years. In short, they loved and supported each other every bit as much as any husband and wife. Streitmatter reveals how some of these unions didn’t merely improve the quality of life for the two people involved but also enriched the American culture. Among the high-profile couples whose lives and loves are illuminated in the following pages are Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams and Mary Rozet Smith, literary icon Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, writer Audre Lorde and Frances Clayton.

- Description
- Retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, describes her work on the NASA team. She recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble Space Telescope. Because in-flight repair and upgrade was part of the plan, NASA was able to fix a serious defect in Hubble’s mirrors—leaving literal and metaphorical “handprints on Hubble”.. .Also Sullivan chronicles her early life as a “Sputnik Baby”, her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of “thirty-five new guys”. She was also one of the first six women to join NASA’s storied astronaut corps.

- Description
- Kroniek van het eigen tot slaven gemaakte leven van de auteur, een verhaal dat twee eeuwen omspant. De interesse voor haar familie is gevoed door haar drie voormoeders, haar overgrootmoeder, haar grootmoeder, en haar dochter (moeder van de auteur), matriarchen uit drie generaties. Dit boek is het narratief van elke slavenfamilie in het Caribisch gebied, Zuid-Amerika en de Verenigde Staten. Het verhaal is een speurtocht naar personen en naar gegevens in archieven, en naar leven en overleven in een gedwongen werkritme, vanaf 1873 weliswaar in vrijheid, maar ook in armoede.
