In 1895, nine American heiresses travelled across the Atlantic to bag themselves husbands and titles. For the English gentlemen the girls married it was a way to secure their estates. For the girls who came from new money, marriage was a means to obtaining social prestige. The Transatlantic Marriage Bureau tells the stories of these nine heiresses and the remarkable women who made it happen - the unofficial marriage brokers Lady Minnie-Paget and Consuelo Yzanga, Duchess of Manchester.

There are hundreds of women who should also be in the history books but aren’t. Why is that? Well, misogyny has been around for hundreds of years...years when men manipulated religion and progressive ideas to keep women in the kitchen and nursery. The truth is that there were many women in Asia in ancient times who ruled countries and led their armies into battle. Countries where women were equal to men and where warrior queens ruled with an iron fist in a velvet glove while holding fast to the feminine values of love and grace.

1916: Norma Wallace, age 15, arrived in New Orleans. Sexy and shrewd, she quickly went from streetwalker to madam and by 1920 had opened what became a legendary house of prostitution. There she entertained a steady stream of governors, gangsters, and movie stars until she was arrested at last in 1962. Shortly before she died in 1974, she tape-recorded her memories. With those tapes and original research, Christine Wiltz chronicles Norma's rise and fall with the social history of New Orleans.

Despite multiple waves of feminist revolution, today's single woman is still mired in judgment or, worse, pity. But for one brief exclamatory period in the 1930s, she was all the rage. Marjorie Hillis was working at Vogue when she published the radical self-help book Live Alone and Like It: A Guide for the Extra Woman. With Dorothy Parker-esque wit, she urged spinsters, divorcees, and old maids to shed derogatory labels, and her philosophy became a phenomenon.

In Lost, medical historian Shannon Withycombe weaves together women’s personal writings and doctors’ publications from the 1820s through the 1910s to investigate the transformative changes in how Americans conceptualized pregnancy, understood miscarriage, and interpreted fetal tissue over the course of the 19th century. Withycombe’s pathbreaking research reveals how Americans construed, and continue to understand, miscarriage within a context of reproductive desires, expectations, and abilities.

Matilda Joslyn Gage was an American suffragette, human rights activist, author, and icon. In 1890, she formed the Woman’s National Liberal Union, and at its founding convention, Gage delivered the speech "Dangers of the Hour". In this ardent and extensive address, Gage touches upon many of the goals she herself and the union aim for and the rights to which they believe all are entitled. Beyond equal rights for women, these also include religious freedom and equal rights for ethnic minorities.

La herencia de las mujeres resulta tan rica, tan diversa y aún hoy día tan desconocida que desborda la manera convencional de contarla. Al igual que las mujeres han encontrado huecos para sobrevivir o imponerse, para escribir o pintar, para llegar a la educación o al poder, para que el dolor disminuyera o el trabajo resultara más liviano, es preciso que la historia que las estudia recurra a miradas y a formatos nuevos.
