253,95 kr. The first biography of the glamorous and scandalous Miriam LeslieΓÇöa titan of publishing and an unsung hero of womenΓÇÖs suffrageΓÇöconnecting Gilded Age opulence with present-day social justiceAmong the fabled tycoons of the Gilded AgeΓÇöCarnegie, Rockefeller, VanderbiltΓÇöis a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For 20 years she ran the countryΓÇÖs largest publishing company, Frank Leslie Enterprises, which chronicled the postbellum United States in dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity in the process. But Miriam Leslie was also a byword for scandal: She flouted feminine convention, took lovers, married four times, and harbored unsavory secrets which she concealed through a skein of lies and multiple personas. Both before and after her death, glimpses of the truth emerged, including an illegitimate birth and a checkered youth. At the end, Leslie, a staunch royalist and member of the ultra-elite, willed her multimillion-dollar estate to womenΓÇÖs suffrage, providing enough funding to guarantee the passage of the 19th Amendment. A dazzling biography, Diamonds & Deadlines reveals the unknown, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen ΓÇ£Empress of JournalismΓÇ¥ who presaged the feminist future and reflected, in bold relief, the Gilded Age, one of the most momentous, seismic, and vivid epochs in American history.

- 100 Years of LGBT Music
198,95 kr. From Sia to Elton John, from Billie Holiday to David Bowie, LGBT musicians have changed the course of modern music. But before their music--and the messages behind it--gained understanding and a place in the mainstream, how did the queer musicians of yesteryear fight to build foundations for those who would follow them? This is the first book to cover the breadth of history of recorded music by and for the LGBT community. Darryl reveals the stories of both famous and lesser-known LGBT musicians, whose perseverance against the threat of persecution during decades of political and historical turmoil--including two world wars, Stonewall, and the AIDS crisis--has led to some of the most significant and soul-searching music of the last century.
