[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 471807, member: 4203"] Liberty: The Lives and Times of Six Women in Revolutionary France by Lucy Moore From Booklist "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" for the six women through whose public and private lives Moore presents a fresh history of the French Revolution. Salonnieres Germaine de Stael and Manon Roland were early enthusiasts but later paid a price (a very heavy price in the case of Roland, who was guillotined) for their moderate views. Theroigne de Mericourt and Pauline Leon sought more activist roles. One of glamorous beauty Theresia de Fontenay's romantic entanglements helped trigger Robespierre's fall, and Juliette Recamier, a schoolgirl when the Revolution began, became an icon of the next generation. Using the Revolution's progress as her framework, Moore (who also wrote Maharanis, 2004), interweaves the six women's stories to show how each helped steer or was steered by the course of events. For all their talk of equality, some of the Revolution's most fervent leaders were uninterested in, if not violently opposed to, women's rights, and Moore's subjects had to contend with this as well as with the general havoc of the time. Riveting and revelatory. ********************* Body of Work--Meditations on mortality from the human anatomy lab The author is Christine Montross; she's a resident in psychiatry. If you ever wanted to get inside the head of a medical student during the human anatomy lab, this is the book for you! Outstanding, incisive (no pun intended), thorough, astonishing in its depth and clarity as she struggles to learn all she must and deal with the emotional consequences of cutting into a donated body. You go on her voyage of self-discovery as she becomes a medical doctor. ********************** Fair Game by Valery Plame complete with blacked out redactions ( ;-) sorry can't resist - still it sounds like a good book) I'll try to get some more tomorrow.
