Francis, Richard: Ann the Word - The story of Ann Lee - Female Messiah - Mother of the Shakers - The Woman clothed with the Sun
Book Number: 39200
4th Estate 2000 8vo. Paperback. 388pp. Index. remainder stipe at bottom page edges otherwise very good. Ann Lee's transformation from illiterate Mancunian blacksmith's daughter to soveriegn pontiff of a thriving New England sect is one of the more bizarre and fascinating byways of Anglo-American history. These heady days of Shakerism are unlikely to be better depicted than in this book, with its meticulously researched account of the heroic, indomitable, mesmerising, chastity-obsessed and ultimately rather ghastly woman.

Hillary Clinton's memoir focuses on her eight years at the White House - what she lived through, how she felt about her experiences then and now, why she made the choices she did - in short, a very personal book. She talks about all the political events and highlights and about Bill Clinton's impeachment.She feels it is time to put the record straight on many issues on which she has not been able to speak out. The book covers her principal areas of interest such as the welfare of children, the status of women internationally and social justice. This is a woman whose steely resolve and intelligence proved the bedrock of her husband's presidency and whose courage when he let her down impressed women everywhere. Her determination to succeed in her own right provides a powerful role model.
