DOWNLOAD EBOOKLike many young women in fifteenth- century England, Susannah Whitmead is sent away from home to be educated. Born of yeomen, Susannah's mother wants her only daughter to be raised a lady. But Susannah, who finds life at Hurleigh House to be horribly regulated, longs for home. One of her few comforts is a keepsake, a small badge with a curious design consisting of curved lines arching over wavy ones like a stylized bridge across a river. She is not sure of the badge's origins, but keeps it close to her as a link to her family. Susannah is married off to Sir James Weston of Ashdon manor. Although she doesn't love him, he is kind, and she falls in love instead with his house—a house she will fight to keep through the war, death, and treachery that surround her. Valerie Anand continues the intricate weave of history, politics, and passion in Women of Ashdon, the third novel in the acclaimed Bridges Over Time series. “Valerie Anand has been building a remarkable body of work, a series of historical novels that have recreated England’s history both accurately and vividly.” —The Anniston Star

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the exemplary to the notorious to the obscure, this comprehensive and innovative encyclopedia showcases the worthy women of early modern England. Poets, princesses, or pirates, the women of power and agency found in these pages are indeed worth knowing, and this volume will introduce many female figures to even the most established scholars in early modern studies. Rather than using the conventional alphabetical format of the standard biographical encyclopedia, this volume is divided into categories of women. Since many women will fit in more than one category, each woman is placed in the category that best exemplifies her life, and is cross referenced in other appropriate sections. This structure makes the book an interesting read for seasoned scholars of early modern women, while students need not already be familiar with these subjects in order to benefit from the text. Another unusual feature of this reference work is that each entry begins with some incident from the woman’s life that is particularly exciting or significant. Some entries are very brief while others are extensive. Each includes a source listing. The book is well illustrated and liberally sprinkled with quotations of the time either by or about the women in the text.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRegiment of Women (1917) is a novel by Winifred Ashton. Written using the pseudonym Clemence Dane, Regiment of Women was Ashton’s debut novel and a turning point in her career. Deriving its title from an anti-feminist polemic written by 16th century minister John Knox, Ashton’s novel depicts a doomed romance between two intelligent, strong-willed women living in Edwardian England. Recognized as a pioneering work of lesbian literature, Regiment of Women would inspire famed novelist Radclyffe Hall to write her groundbreaking novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). Early on in her days as a teacher at a prestigious private school for girls, Alwynne Durand, a young woman new to the profession, is made aware of the lofty status of Clare Hartill, a popular teacher among the schoolgirls. Primed to take over as headmistress, Hartill has a reputation as a strict instructor who pushes her students to the limit of their abilities, often resulting in their adoration and respect. Soon, Alwynne and Clare become close friends, frequently visiting one another outside of school—much to the dismay of Alwynne’s aunt and legal guardian Elsbeth. As their relationship grows more and more romantic, Alwynne begins spending most of her spare time at Clare’s flat, leading her aunt to devise a scheme to drive them apart. When an unrelated tragedy occurs at the school, a change in Clare’s demeanor threatens her relationship with Alwynne, who finds her companion growing increasingly harsh and distant. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Winifred Ashton’s Regiment of Women is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
