The political and military history of the sixteenth century is well known, and much written about, but what of the thousands of women who have, for the most part, eluded the historian's pen? 'The Tudor Housewife' aims to answer this question, providing a unique and accessible introduction to the everyday life and responsibilities of women from all levels of society in the age of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. With chapters on marriage, childbirth, the upbringing of children, washing and cleaning, food and drink, the housewife as doctor, women and business, and women and religion, Alison Sim reveals how women were expected to manage businesses as well as the household accounts, take extensive personal interest in the moral welfare of their children, administer medicine to their households and act as a helpmeet to their husbands in every aspect of life. She challenges widely held assuptions that all households were self-sufficient in the sixteenth century and shows that even wealthy ladies were not brought up to be idle. Written in a lively and readable style, The Tudor Housewife provides an attractive and captivating insight into past women's lives.
Åtte drapsdommer. Pluss tjuefem tilståelser som aldri førte til tiltale. Slik så den ut, Thomas Quick-saken. Og det er vel få som ikke husker medienes bilde av Quick, eller "Sätermannen". En verre drapsmann, til og med kannibal, hadde det lille Sverige aldri sett.
Våren 2008 reiser journalist Hannes Råstam til Säter sykehus for sitt første besøk hos "Sveriges verste seriemorder". Det blir et omveltende møte som skal få uante følger for dem begge.
Råstam studerer hvert papir i etterforskningen, gransker avhørene og gjennomgår de egne forklaringene til Sture Bergwall, som er Thomas Quicks egentlige navn. Han får også tilgang til mengder av tidligere ukjent materiale - journalene ved Säter sykehus, politimenns dagbøker og bortgjemte politirapporter. En tvil begynner å vokse frem hos ham. Gjennom tålmodig å sette sammen et puslespill nøster Hannes Råstam opp fortellingen om hvordan Sveriges verste seriemorder ble skapt. Boken er en sann thriller om en underlig menneskeskjebne og et tragisk rettskasus. Trinn for trinn blottlegges hvordan Thomas Quick ble forvandlet til seriemorder, og hvordan domstolene kunne dømme ham for åtte drap han ikke hadde begått. Samtidig går de virkelige morderne fri.
Focusing on the first family in science, this biography of Marie Curie plumbs the recesses of her relationships with her two daughters, extraordinary in their own right, and presents the legendary scientist to us in a fresh way. Although the common image is that of a shy introvert toiling away in her laboratory, highly praised science writer Shelley Emling shows how Marie Curie was nothing short of an iconoclast. Her affair with a younger and married man drew the enmity of a xenophobic French establishment, who denied her entry to the Academy of Sciences and tried to expel her from France. But she was determined to live life how she saw fit, and passed on her resilience to her daughters. Emling draws on personal letters released by Curie’s only granddaughter to show how Marie influenced her daughters yet let them blaze their own paths. Irene followed her mother’s footsteps into science and was instrumental in the discovery of nuclear fission. Eve traveled the world as a foreign correspondent and then moved on to humanitarian missions.(...) Continuing the family story into the third generation, Emling also interviews Marie Curie’s granddaughter Helene Joliot-Curie, who is an accomplished physicist in her own right. She reveals why her grandmother was a lot more than just a scientist and how Marie’s trips to America forever changed her. Factually rich, personal and original, this is an engrossing story about the most famous woman in science that rips the cover off the myth and reveals the real person, friend, and mother behind it.
