What A Woman: A Financial Planning Guide for the Newly Independent

1 review
Sylvia Hines, Karen Jorgensen, ...

Silver Lake Publishing, 1999

What a Woman
I liked the book, What a Woman, because it had specific information about taking control of your financial matters. The information was well presented in an easy to read and understandable form. Much of the book's information was thought provoking and led the reader into searching for personal answers for her own financial and emotional situation. Th chapters are well ...

Trials of the Earth: The Autobiography of Mary Hamilton

Mary Hamilton

University Press of Mississippi, 1993

excellent reading for lovers of southern history
As a native of Mississippi and a woman, I appreciate the historical value of this story. I loved the fact that the reader knows Mrs. Hamilton was not a professional writer (she says in the intro that she had only written letters before Helen Dick Davis asked her to write out her memoirs), but nonetheless, she eloquently and honestly told her story. Although this book is an autobiography, it ...

Blood on the Holly

Peter Robinson, Maureen Jennings, ...

Baskerville Books, 2007

good short mysteries
This is an excellent range of stories and all are well written. The styles vary and there is a good leavening of humour. A delightful concept to join together stories that somehow connect to Christmas. My copy has already been shared and enjoyed. We hope to follow up some of the authors with whom we were not familiar

William, an Englishman,

Cicely Mary Hamilton

Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1920

A fascinating and relevant book
A fascinating book about the effects of WW1 on a socialist clerk, William and his suffragette wife, Griselda. The book is a page-turning read of their love and confusion in wartime Europe. It is also chillingly relevant for readers today, as it describes the difficult conflict between idealism and reality. I strongly recommend this book!!!

Jane Hamilton

Random House Audio, 1999

Loved it!
Couldn't hardly put this one down. It isn't a happy story, but the writing was fantastic and the story really makes you think how quickly your life can change and how hard it is to recover when bad things happen to good people.

Munster Village/90830 (Mothers of the Novel Reprints)

1 review
Mary Hamilton

Unwin Hyman, 1987

Munster Village is an early feminist utopian novel.
This is a very short novel that is more interesting for its ideas than its writing. The heroine is an older woman who uses her money to build a utopia which includes university schooling for women. There is also a grand masquerade ball on the estate that gives a marvelous sense of the scale and grandeur of the great country homes of the late eighteeth century.

Adult Literacy, Numeracy & Language
Lyn Tett, Mary Hamilton, ...

Open University Press, 2006

This book explores the social practice of literacy, numeracy and language and its implications for teaching and learning adult basic skills. Leading international experts argue that literacy, numeracy and language are more than just a set of skills or techniques, but are shaped by the social and cultural context within which they are taking place; the meanings they have for users; and the purposes they serve. This shifts the focus from a narrow, ...
