Publisher's Summary:

Una biografía única sobre Carmen Laforet. Decía Carmen Laforet que la vida le interesaba en todos sus momentos, tanto en los malos como en los buenos. Por eso leía, viajaba, escribía y observaba los acontecimientos con el corazón revuelto, lleno de emociones que no dejaban de latir. En el centenario de su nacimiento, esta biografía recupera la voz de quien nunca quiso hacer lo que se esperaba de ella. Aquí se conjugan su certero retrato del ambiente de posguerra, sus análisis sobre la religión y la fe, y su alma, siempre errante, que, sin pertenecer a ningún sitio, encontró hogar en sí misma y en sus seres queridos. Un homenaje a Carmen Laforet, una escritora de trayectoria personalísima cuyo legado está hoy más vivo que nunca.

Title: Queen Of The West: The Life and Times of Dale Evans

Author: Theresa Kaminski

Narrator: Kitty Hendrix

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 14 hours 6 minutes

Release date: April 26, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

This is the first full-length biography of this mid-twentieth century multi-faceted star. It is the first book to use biography to chart the broad sweep of changes in women's lives during the twentieth century, and to have popular music, movies, and television shows as its backdrops. The glitter of country music, the glamour of Hollywood, and the grit of the early television industry are all covered. It is the first book to draw from never-before-seen sources (especially business records and fan mail) at the newly-opened Roy Rogers-Dale Evans collections at the Autry Museum of the American West. One of the central tensions of Dale's life revolved around chasing the elusive work/family balance, making her story instantly relatable to women today. In addition to fame, Dale longed for a happy, stable, family life. Her roles and wife and mother became the foundation for her public persona: the smart, smiling, cheerful cowgirl. Unusual for its time were Dale Evans's attempts to control the trajectory of her career at a time when men dominated decision-making in the entertainment fields.

Title: Ӕthelflӕd: The Lady of the Mercians

Author: Tim Clarkson

Narrator: Hannah Curtis

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 7 minutes

Release date: April 26, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

This Dark Ages biography chronicles the life of one of the period's most famous women: the ruler of Mercia who took England back from the Vikings. At the end of the ninth century, a large part of what is now England was controlled by the Vikings—warlike Scandinavians who had been attacking the British Isles for more than a hundred years. Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, was determined to regain the conquered lands. But when he died in 899 A.D., the task passed to his son Edward. In the early 900s, Edward led a great fight against the Viking armies, assisted by the English rulers of Mercia: Lord Æthelred and his wife Æthelflæd, who was also Edward's sister. After her husband's death, Æthelflæd ruled Mercia on her own, leading the army to war and working with her brother to achieve their father's aims. Known to history as the Lady of the Mercians, she earned a reputation as a capable general who was feared by her enemies. In this authoritative biography, Tim Clarkson tells her remarkable life story from childhood to her vital role in saving England from the Vikings.

Why do good women stay with bad men? What if political wives are just as calculating as their infamous husbands?

De amor a primera vista. Así será la relación de cualquier lector con este libro, que recoge apenas una mínima parte de lo que es el Universo Chavela Vargas. Belleza, sabiduría, inteligencia, simpatía, sensibilidad. De todo eso estuvo llena esta mujer extraordinaria y todo eso, y mucho más, regaló al mundo porque era tanto lo que en ella habitaba, que después de cantar o de hablar o de simplemente vivir, iba dejándole a los otros las puertas abiertas para que cada cual encontrara las verdades que le correspondían. Eso fue lo que hizo en este mundo, eso sigue haciendo desde toda su obra, y este libro es otro de esos muchos umbrales.

Release date: April 14, 2022

Publisher's Summary:

Clipped is a quirky memoir about a new mother whose desperation to get her baby to sleep catapulted her into becoming an inventor and a small business owner—just before the world fell apart in 2008.

LA Parent Expecting and Kids Today both made blankyclip a “Top Pick''. The United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded her three utility patents and a trademark. All that fabulous glory aside, Adrienne also learned what it’s like to fly halfway around the world to a Chinese factory and to be pregnant, throwing up on the street just before an investor meeting. These experiences led her down a path to write this memoir about sticking to your vision and being open to finding gold in the muck.

In dit boek leer je de vrouw achter de succesvolle TikToks écht kennen. Een vrouw met een grote bek en een klein hartje, maar ook een vrouw met een missie: ze heeft seks, en daar schaamt ze zich niet voor. 'Hier is het boek waar niemand om gevraagd heeft, maar waar je wel op zit te wachten.' – Bibi Espina, zangeres en editor bij RUMAG. Laura de Hoog (1992) begon met het schrijven van een blog over haar liefdesleven maar stapte na de zoveelste mislukte relatie over op TikTok, waar ze in mini-vlogs haar ongezouten mening geeft over alledaagse onderwerpen – van dickpics tot buurtbarbecues. Het leverde haar vele trouwe volgers op. In het dagelijks leven creëert ze content voor social media en is ze veelvuldig te vinden op de terrassen in Deventer met een goed glas wijn.

Title: Diamonds and Deadlines: A Tale of Greed, Deceit, and a Female Tycoon in the Gilded Age

Author: Betsy Prioleau

Narrator: Beth Hicks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 31 minutes

Release date: March 29, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

The first major biography of the glamorous and scandalous Miriam Leslie, titan of publishing and an unsung hero of women’s suffrageAmong the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For twenty years she ran the country’s largest publishing company, Frank Leslie Publishing, which chronicled postbellum America in dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker 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 that she concealed through a skein of lies and multiple personas. Both during and after her lifetime, glimpses of the truth emerged, including an illegitimate birth and a checkered youth.Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “empress of journalism,” who dropped a bombshell at her death: She left her entire multimillion-dollar estate to women’s suffrage—a never-equaled amount that guaranteed passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. In this dazzling biography, cultural historian Betsy Prioleau draws from diaries, correspondence, genealogies, and published works to provide an intimate look at the life of one of the Gilded Age’s most complex, powerful women and unexpected feminist icons. Ultimately, Diamonds and Deadlines restores Mrs. Frank Leslie to her rightful place in history, as a monumental businesswoman 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.

Title: The Final Curtsey: A Royal Memoir by the Queen's Cousin

Author: Margaret Rhodes

Narrator: Jennifer M. Dixon

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 9 minutes

Release date: March 29, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

A Sunday Times number one bestseller in the United Kingdom, this is the intimate and revealing autobiography of Margaret Rhodes, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and niece of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Margaret was born into the Scottish aristocracy, into a now almost vanished world of privilege. Royalty often came to stay, and her house was run in the style of Downton Abbey. During the Second World War, she 'lodged' at Buckingham Palace while she worked for MI5. She was a bridesmaid at the wedding of her cousin, Princess Elizabeth, to Prince Philip. Three years later, the King and Queen attended her own wedding, in which Princess Margaret was a bridesmaid. In 1990, she was appointed as a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother, acting also as her companion, which she describes in touching detail. In the early months of 2002, she spent as much time as possible with her ailing aunt and was at her bedside when she died. The next morning, she went to Queen Elizabeth's bedroom to pray, and in farewell dropped her a final curtsey. The Queen Mother regarded Margaret Rhodes as her 'third daughter,' and she has been extremely close to her cousins, the Queen and Princess Margaret, throughout their lives. Full of charming anecdotes and fascinating characters, this is an unparalleled insight into the private life of the British monarchy.
