Bee Rowlatt

In Search of Mary (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Toddler in tow, Bee Rowlatt embarks on an extraordinary journey in search of the life and legacy of the first celebrity feminist: Mary Wollstonecraft. From the wild coasts of Norway to a naked re-birthing in California, via the blood-soaked streets of revolutionary Paris, Bee learns what drove her hero on and what's been won and lost over the centuries in the battle for equality.On this biographical treasure hunt she finds herself consulting a witch, a porn star, a quiet Norwegian archivist and the tenants of a blighted council estate in Leeds - getting much more than she bargained for. In her quest to find a new balance between careers and babies, Bee also discovers the importance of celebrating the radiant power of love in all our lives.

Rezensionen

Rowlatt's passion for Wollstonecraft leaps out of every page, the intervening centuries disappear: it's as if they are on a journey together. TV historian Dan Snow
