Told through the stories, journals and personal letters of the women of the powerful Fox family, Wives and Daughters is a window into the daily lives and experiences of women of eighteenth-century aristocratic society and the country houses that symbolized the power and taste of eighteenth-century Britain. Combining personality with historical setting and detail, Joanna Martin traces the lives of fifteen individual women in their four country houses through several generations, in society and at home. Taking an intimate and personal look at courtship, marriage, childbirth, education, houses and gardens, reading, hobbies, travel and health, this book is an engrossing account of woman's lives in this fascinating time.

This is the first published account of an oddly neglected aspect of American history--the racial and sexual confrontation of the Indian women and the white man on our frontiers. Mr. O'Meara traces this fascinating relationship from earliest times, showing us the Indian woman in all the roles of her obscure history; as the victim of mass rape, as slave concubine; trading-post and rendezvous prostitute, casual blanket-sharer, hospitality gift to a passing trader. We observe her, too, as the wife a' la façon du pays, cast adrift in a hostile world when her trader husband returns to civilization. An sometimes as the loved and respected wife of a distinguished, even great, man--like the Cree girl who became the Baroness Stratchona, or the Ojibway bride who was known and loved as Lady Douglas. Mr. O'Meara probes all these relationships, basing his study on the journals, memoirs, chronicles, and letters left by the men who lived among the Indians. Along the way, he uncovers such little-reported phenomena as the part played by raw sexual desire in our nation's westward expansion, and the mystical hope of "power transference" with which Indian husbands offered their wives for a night to white traders. Told with sympathy and humanity, Daughters of the Country is a warm and moving story, as well as an important historical document.--Jacket flap

To begin with the old rigmarole of childhood. In a country there was a shire, and in that shire there was a town, and in that town there was a house, and in that house there was a room, and in that room there was a bed, and in that bed there lay a little girl; wide awake and longing to get up, but not daring to do so for fear of the unseen power in the next room—a certain Betty, whose slumbers must not be disturbed until six o'clock struck, when she wakened of herself "as sure as clockwork," and left the household very little peace afterwards. It was a June morning, and early as it was, the room was full of sunny warmth and light. On the drawers opposite to the little white dimity bed in which Molly Gibson lay, was a primitive kind of bonnet-stand on which was hung a bonnet, carefully covered over from any chance of dust with a large cotton handkerchief, of so heavy and serviceable a texture that if the thing underneath it had been a flimsy fabric of gauze and lace and flowers, it would have been altogether "scomfished" (again to quote from Betty's vocabulary). But the bonnet was made of solid straw, and its only trimming was a plain white ribbon put over the crown, and forming the strings. Still, there was a neat little quilling inside, every plait of which Molly knew, for had she not made it herself the evening before, with infinite pains? and was there not a little blue bow in this quilling, the very first bit of such finery Molly had ever had the prospect of wearing? Six o'clock now! the pleasant, brisk ringing of the church bells told that; calling every one to their daily work, as they had done for hundreds of years. Up jumped Molly, and ran with her bare little feet across the room, and lifted off the handkerchief and saw once again the bonnet; the pledge of the gay bright day to come. Then to the window, and after some tugging she opened the casement, and let in the sweet morning air. The dew was already off the flowers in the garden below, but still rising from the long hay-grass in the meadows directly beyond. At one side lay the little town of Hollingford, into a street of which Mr. Gibson's front door opened; and delicate columns, and little puffs of smoke were already beginning to rise from many a cottage chimney where some housewife was already up, and preparing breakfast for the bread-winner of the family. Molly Gibson saw all this, but all she thought about it was, "Oh! it will be a fine day! I was afraid it never, never would come; or that, if it ever came, it would be a rainy day!" Five-and-forty years ago, children's pleasures in a country town were very simple, and Molly had lived for twelve long years without the occurrence of any event so great as that which was now impending. Poor child! it is true that she had lost her mother, which was a jar to the whole tenour of her life; but that was hardly an event in the sense referred to; and besides, she had been too young to be conscious of it at the time. The pleasure she was looking forward to to-day was her first share in a kind of annual festival in Hollingford.

Marriage is something most people dream of. But for those in a forced marriage, it can be a nightmare. Marriage is the happiest bond between a man and a woman if they love each other. Because there is no love in a forced marriage, this can lead to negligence, loneliness, low self-esteem, unhappiness, spousal abuse, and sometimes death. In Tears of Forced Marriage, author Felicia Idemudia creates awareness about the lives of boys and girls forced into marriage by their parents, especially by the fathers in some countries, cultures, and communities. Through personal third-party testimonials, Idemudia sheds light on the different kinds of forced marriage and the devastating results these marriages can have on women and children. Idemudia communicates that awareness, education, and change are essential for significant improvement to be made. Tears of Forced Marriage gives suggestions as to what can be done to improve the lives of boys and girls affected by forced marriage.
