Live in the Mystery is a compilation of astonishing true stories of a woman’s journey of discovery and personal growth. Her life is suddenly and provocatively interrupted by coincidences, synchronicities, and remarkable dreams. This is an inviting account of a professional woman’s encounter with unknown and unseen forces that disrupt her life and provoke her to find her voice and a power she hadn’t experienced before. The author takes us on an inquisitive and curious quest of her personal awakening through travels, dreams and extraordinary coincidences. Live in the Mystery was inspired by the author’s spiritual curiosity and other-worldly experiences. Her writing and art come through her discovery of a creative way of being and living in the world, and trusting in a voice greater than her own.

This study examines the changing manner of female vocalisation in the American Musical (1940-1955) through the development of the integrated singing techniques of Mary Martin, an icon of American Musical Theatre. It suggests that the vocal style that she exemplified changed from a variety of idiosyncratic vocal styles linked to particular role-types to a more flexible, integrated style better able to adapt to a range of roles required by the rapidly changing demands of the entertainment industry. Martin is situated within the historical trajectory of cultural and technological change, and the isolation of moments along that trajectory brings into focus her centrality within those changes and the intentionality of the development of her vocal style. Three central genres of early twentieth century musical theatre (operetta, the musical play and the revue) are considered, along with the female performers and vocal styles that underpinned those genres. They are situated in an historical context of rapidly developing recording technology and the expanding communications industry. The intrinsic characteristics of three dominant voice types are analysed through the lens of three significant performers active between the First and Second World Wars: Edith Day, Helen Morgan and Ethel Merman. The inability of these performers to acquiesce to the changing demands of the entertainment industry during the third and fourth decades of the twentieth century are identified. Three quantifiable measures of the voice - tessitura, vibrato and spectral analysis - are used to isolate Martin''s classical, legitimate and belt phonations, and to illustrate the emergence of her distinctive croon style through her early recordings on stage, screen and the recording studio. A period of intense vocal development is revealed in Martin''s little known radio performances on the NBC network in 1942. This was a time in which she began to consolidate different vocal techniques into a single vocal style, and to show her to manipulate the perception of public, personal and private distance through vocal timbre. An examination of Martin''s stage success in One Touch of Venus reveals both her integration of vocal techniques in the characterization of a single role, and the transferal of her techniques of intimate audience interaction to the live stage. Also shown is the establishment of Martin as a role model in the eyes of the media and the general public. The penultimate chapter of this dissertation portrays a performer unafraid of breaking new ground, as Martin changes her stage persona in a national tour of the Merman vehicle Annie Get Your Gun, and subsequently takes her place in musical theatre history as Nellie Forbush in the Pulitzer Prize winning South Pacific. The study concludes with an examination of Martin''s television performances in the first half of the 1950s, in which she displays all facets of her vocal technique and range. The immense popularity of Martin''s variety performances with Ethel Merman and Noel Coward, and her enduring broadcasts of Peter Pan, without doubt made Martin a leading role model for emerging vocalists.

Was the century of Voltaire also the century of women? In the eighteenth century changes in the nature of work, family life, sexuality, education, law, religion, politics and warfare radically altered the lives of women. Some of these developments caused immense confusion and suffering; others greatly expanded women’s opportunities and worldview – long before the various women’s suffrage movements were more than a glimmer on the horizon. This study pays attention to queens as well as commoners; respectable working women as well as prostitutes; women physicists and mathematicians as well as musicians and actresses; feminists as well as their critics. The result is a rich and morally complex tale of conflict and tragedy, but also of achievement. The book deals with many regions and topics often under-represented in general surveys of European women, including coverage of the Balkans and both European Turkey and Anatolia, of Eastern Europe, of European colonial expansion (particularly the slave trade) and of Muslim, Eastern Orthodox, and Jewish women''s history. Bringing all of Europe into the narrative of early modern women''s history challenges many received assumptions about Europe and women in past times, and provides essential background for dealing with issues of diversity in the Europe of today.
