Irena Sendler is one of the often-unsung heroes of the Holocaust. Nevertheless, she deserves credit for her humanitarian efforts. Time and time again, she put her own safety at risk to save others. Her efforts were especially crucial as it pertained to saving the children who fell victim to the horrors of the Holocaust. As a Catholic Pole, Irena Sendler could have rather easily looked the other way and told herself that it was none of her business what was happening around her. But her conscience wouldn’t let her ignore the pleas of all those innocent voices who so desperately needed her aid.

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." With these words, Elizabeth Barrett Browning has come down to us as a romantic heroine, a recluse controlled by a domineering father and often overshadowed by her husband, Robert Browning. But behind the melodrama lies a thoroughly modern figure whose extraordinary life is an electrifying study in self-invention.

Si la vie est un voyage, certains sont moins linéaires que d’autres. Celui de Guylaine Guay ressemble à s’y méprendre à un joyeux tortillard. Son périple est unique puisqu’elle a frappé très fort à la loto-probabilité : ses fils, Léo, treize ans, et Clovis, onze ans, sont autistes. Et cent fois par jour, elle fait l’aller-retour sur la planète de ses enfants, ses deux petits extraterrestres, comme elle les surnomme.

Finding herself embroiled in a Cold War drama on the Island of Cuba, where Soviet and American military forces were vying for supremacy during a secret nuclear confrontation, Paulina decided on a dangerous escape to freedom with her two small children rather than become an obedient slave and an informant for a cruel and rogue tyrannical state.

Hildegard II er en selvstændig fortsættelse af romanen Hildegard. I den første bog fulgte vi en af middelalderens mest betydningsfulde kvinder, Hildegard af Bingen (1098-1179), gennem den tidligste barndom og det isolerede klosterliv på Disibodenberg, indtil hun som 49-årig endelig fik mod til at fortælle om de visioner, hun havde modtaget, så længe hun kunne huske. Den første bog om Hildegard sluttede, da hun netop havde fået pavens altafgørende tilladelse til at fortælle verden om det, hun så.

I'm sitting on the bus to León and the lady next to me is taking one candy after another to suck on while she's talking on the phone at the same time. If there was even the slightest chance that she could understand me, I would scream out loud: FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP THAT! Instead, I cover my ears and wait for the trip to be over.

When someone would tap along and rescue me from being sandwiched between these two hardbacks, sorry, did I frighten you? You never heard or seen a talking book. Well, me either. The majority of the time, I am the only one in the room, or shall I say, “on the shelf”? So many humans walk right past me, playing blind games by pretending not to see that the struggle is real. Talk about the lack of accessibility.

At 16, after just four hours of instruction, she flew solo “a rather broken down Fleet biplane that my barnstorming instructor imported from parts unknown”. The year was 1930: Record-setting aviator Jacqueline Cochran (and Love’s future rival) had not yet learned to fly, and the most famous woman pilot of all time, Amelia Earhart, had yet to make her acclaimed solo Atlantic flight.

The GIs called her Joey. Hundreds owed their lives to the tiny Filipina who stashed explosives in spare tires, tracked Japanese troop movements, and smuggled maps of fortifications across enemy lines. As the Battle of Manila raged, Josefina Guerrero walked through gunfire to bandage wounds and close the eyes of the dead. Her valor earned her the Medal of Freedom, but what made her a good spy was also destroying her: leprosy, which so horrified the Japanese they refused to search her.
