John Wiley and Sons Ltd Criminal Women
Book SynopsisCriminal Womentells the stories of four women who, in attempting to become women of their own making, became deeply involved in crime.Throughout the book, tales from the underworld and the criminal business world are interspersed with inside accounts of life in the women's prisons Holloway, Styal's Bleak House', Durham's H. Wing, Askham Grange, Pucklechurch and Bullwood Hall.These stories of criminal women are vivid chronicles of the times in which they have lived. They will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the diversity of ways in which women cope with life in a class-riven and still deeply sexist society.Trade Review‘These essays make a poignant and purposeful statement which goes behind the rumors and beyond the mythology into a world that is different from men's prison. The women in them speak with the authentic voice of experience; they are survivors as well as victims.’ Mary McIntosh, University of Essex ‘Once again Pat Carlen's readiness to move outside the familiar topics of criminology has paid off. The women who tell their stories in these pages provide a highly readable, sometimes tragic, often comic introduction to a neglected area. We are fortunate indeed that the first book published in this country on the subject of women and professional crime should also be of such high quality as to suggest that it will remain a standard text for many years.’ Laurie Taylor, University of YorkTable of ContentsIntroduction, Pat Carlen 1 Looking for Trouble, Chris Tchaikovsky 2 Christina: In her own Time, Diana Christina and Pat Carlen 3 Jenny: In a Criminal Business, Jenny Hicks and Pat Carlen 4 Josie: Surviving Holloway... and other Women’s Prisons, Josie O’Dwyer and Pat Carlen Women In Prison, Pat Carlen and Chris Tchaikovsky Appendix: The Women In Prison Manifesto

Crown The Magic of Provence Pleasures of Southern France
Book SynopsisWhen Yvone Lenard returned to her native France and purchased a house in a hilltop village of Provence, an enchanted world of food, wines, and unusual adventures-including chicken rustling, flirtatious advances from neighbors, and a séance-opened up before her. This is her account of the spell cast on her by Provence, from her first morning’s visit by a charming prince bearing a jug of the village’s vin rose to the growth of her friendship with a duchess in the local chateau. Lenard shares tales of travels to St. Tropez and visits from American friends who find unexpected romance and magic in Provence. Told with verve, wit, and Lenard’s deep understanding of the French language and culture, this memoir includes tales of others who have been drawn to the region, including Vincent van Gogh, Brigitte Bardot, and Princess Caroline of Monaco. Ways to re-create the magic of the region’s sensuous way of life include recipes for food and drinks, as well as tips for

The Merlin Press Ltd Histories of Namibia Living Through the Liberation Struggle
Book SynopsisWhen Namibia gained its independence in 1990 after 23 years of war, most of the eleven Namibians whose life histories make up this book were in their mid-thirties. To that point their whole adult lives had been lived in the struggle, more than half of them in exile. Few of them owned anything. None held prominent jobs. Most had endured hardship, hunger, sickness and fear, and witnessed terrible cruelty and suffering. All had lost family members or friends. Yet their outlook was triumphant and optimistic and their stories are full of enthusiasm, energy, determination and purpose. When you read their stories you are not surprised that they have since become well known in their chosen fields. Yet when they told these stories most of them were not well known. They just happened to be people we came to know and like in the course of our work (Brown as a journalist and development consultant, Leys as a social science researcher) and whom we asked if they would tell us their stories.
