Another good book is Mark Twain's Joan of Arc. Yes Twain wrote a serious piece on St. Joan of Arc, and he treats her very respectfully. This woman moved the world at a time when women were seen but not heard. A good read. I think this book comes from Ignatius Press.

The Color Purple ...Emma's thread on Goodreads:<br /><br />The Color Purple is a 1982 epistolary novel by American author Alice Walker which won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction. It was later adapted into a film and musical of the same name.<br /><br />Taking place mostly in rural Georgia, the story focuses on the life of women of color in the southern United States in the 1930s, addressing numerous issues including their exceedingly low position in American social culture. The novel has been the frequent target of censors and appears on the American Library Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2000-2009 at number seventeen because of the sometimes explicit content, particularly in terms of violence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264829302655468511.post-72402906292188025052016-02-03T09:03:54.862+01:002016-02-03T09:03:54.862+01:00What's it about?What's it about?DGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563634359732992300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264829302655468511.post-48760829399968875612016-02-03T08:48:55.584+01:002016-02-03T08:48:55.584+01:00I have seen the movie and watched the book.
