From the New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Queen Victoria, a new history of Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I that reveals how the most important relationship of their life—their friendship—changed them forever. Elizabeth and Mary were cousins and queens, but eventually it became impossible for them to live together in the same world. This is the story of two women struggling for supremacy in a man’s world, when no one thought a woman could govern. They both had to negotiate with men—those who wanted their power and those who wanted their bodies—who were determined to best them. In their worlds, female friendship and alliances were unheard of, but for many years theirs was the only friendship that endured. They were as fascinated by each other as lovers; until they became enemies. Enemies so angry and broken that one of them had to die, and so Elizabeth ordered the execution of Mary. But first they were each other’s lone female friends in a violent man’s world. Their relationship was one of love, affection, jealousy, antipathy—and finally death. This book tells the story of Mary and Elizabeth as never before, focusing on their emotions and probing deeply into their intimate lives as women and queens. They loved each other, they hated each other—and in the end they could never escape each other.

In the aftermath of the Great War, the de Witt family are struggling to piece together the shattered fragments of their lives. Rudolf and his wife, Verena, still reeling from the loss of their second son, don’t know how to function in the post-war world. Stoneythorpe Hall has become an empty shell with no servants to ensure its upkeep. The de Witt children have changed too: Eldest son Arthur has returned, but a shroud of mystery surrounds his wartime business dealings in Europe. Socialite-turned-socialist Emmeline is passionate about carving out a new niche for herself in life, one that comes with its own dangers. And idealistic, adventurous Celia, the heart of the family and the de Witt’s youngest daughter, is still desperate to spread her wings and see more of the world. To escape Stoneythorpe and the painful secrets that lie there, she moves to London and embraces life and love in the Roaring Twenties. At once romantic and real, sweeping and sensitive, The Edge of the Fall is brimming with intrigue and emotion, balancing the glamour of the era with the gritty reality of life in a world changed forever by war. It is a glorious feat of storytelling and a must-read for those who loved The Storms of War and fans of historical fiction everywhere, from the brilliant young story teller recognized on both sides of the Atlantic as among the “queens of contemporary fiction.”

In the same way as other enhancements, berberine is gotten from plants. "Berberine is a kind of substance compound called an alkaloid that is tracked down in the roots, leaves, stems, and barks of plants, like barberry, Oregon grape, and tree turmeric," says Vicki Shanta Retelny, RDN, the Chicago-based creator of The Fundamental Manual for Sound Mending Food varieties. Enrolled dietitians ordinarily recommend "eating your nutrients" as food (particularly products of the soil), yet that is precarious to do with berberine, and not as a result of the yellow compound''s unpleasant taste. "Berberine can be consumed through these plants, however they are unprecedented in the US," says Davis. "Berberine is considerably more open through a supplemental structure."

Joséphine beschrijft de onvoorstelbare opkomst en nog ongelooflijker ondergang van een vrouw wier energie en ambitie in haar tijd slechts werden overschaduwd door die van haar man, Napoleon Bonaparte. Joséphine de Beauharnais (1763-1814) was een jonge weduwe die tijdens de Franse Terreur wist te ontsnappen aan de guillotine, en een van de beroemdste societyvrouwen van Frankrijk werd. Tot veler verbazing ging zij in op de avances van een kleine, zes jaar jongere, onbekende militair uit Corsica. Voor hem was zij de ideale opstap naar een grootse carrière; met haar aan zijn zijde werd hij de machtigste man van Europa, keizer van Frankrijk. Maar hun geluk zou niet lang duren. Het lukte het beroemdste echtpaar van hun tijd niet om een zoon en erfgenaam voort te brengen, zodat de keizer besloot Joséphine te verlaten. Joséphine is een intrigerende en meeslepende biografie over de grote liefde van de kleine generaal - een vrouw die nog steeds tot de verbeelding spreekt. Historica Kate Williams (1974) studeerde in Oxford en Londen, en verschijnt regelmatig op bbc en Channel 4. Ze publiceerde onder meer boeken over de jonge prinses Victoria, de wording van koningin Elizabeth ii, en Emma Hamilton, de minnares van Nelson. `In een kleine vierhonderd paginas schetst ze een beeld van een ambitieuze, gewiekste, spilzieke, niet erg betrouwbare levensgenietster. NRC Handelsblad `Een schitterende biografie. de Volkskrant ***** `Zonder ook maar een langdradige alinea weet ze op minutieuze wijze het verhaal te vertellen van de slavernij op Martinique, de Franse Revolutie en de Parijse beau monde. Het knappe is dat ze Napoleons opkomst, succes en zijn neergang beschrijft als decor van het verhaal over de keizerin. Historisch Nieuwsblad

Conheça a arrebatadora história de Josefina, a jovem crioula que se tornou imperatriz de França. O futuro não parecia promissor para a jovem da Martinica que fora abandonada em Paris pelo marido aristocrata. Contudo, sempre engenhosa e determinada a manter-se na sociedade parisiense, procurou refúgio num convento, onde sublimou a voz rouca e a graciosidade sensual que se tornaram os seus poderosos atributos. No período de Terror que se seguiu à Revolução, Josefina sobreviveu ao cativeiro e emergiu como figura central de um universo de festas profundamente mundanas. Inebriante, promíscua e encantadora, dominou os jornais e surpreendeu o mundo ao encorajar os avanços de um soldado corso e marginalizado, seis anos mais novo do que ela.

A mulher que encantara França estava desesperada e assoberbada com as exigências da vida pública. Por fim, divorciada aos quarenta e sete anos, viu-se obrigada a assistir nos bastidores ao nascimento do filho de Napoleão com a sua jovem noiva.Kate Williams apaixonou-se pelo século XVIII enquanto estudava na Universidade de Oxford.

From kitchen table to protest marches, The Suffragette Cookbook is a history of female love and power. The history of feminism is a history of women coming together. Modern feminists and Suffragettes share much in common, the same core fight spread through centuries. But the fight for women''s rights goes beyond marches and protests - it is present wherever women gather. And for much of history, that has been in the kitchen. When the Suffrage movement gained momentum, many Suffragette groups released cookbooks, declaring to the world that ''women''s work'', like cooking, was not lesser but something to be celebrated. In distributing their cookbooks, they slipped the message of Suffrage between recipes and allowed it entry into homes. Professor Kate William explores the way feminism exists in the domestic sphere, and shows that the fight for women''s rights was a struggle fought within homes long before it was protested in the streets. The Suffragette Cookbook offers unique insight into the very real world of the women of history, and through them we see a celebration of female strength, power and love. Within these pages you''ll find many recipes passed from mother to child, a history of female unity that stretches through generations: from mouth-watering recipes you may still make today, to delightfully incoherent recipes you can''t believe were ever truly served. But you''ll also find messages of female strength, male solidarity and a history that''s only beginning to be told. The perfect gift for the feminists in your life, with beautiful pages full of untold women''s history.
