![]() ![]() The world of fashion emerges as the backbone of Miller’s creative development, as well as an integral lens through which to understand the effects of war on the lives of women in the 1940s and 1950s. ![]() Lee Miller in Fashion is the first book to examine how her career as a model and fashion photographer illuminates her life story and connects to international fashion history from the late 1920s until the early 1950s. Miller was recognized as “one of the most distinguished living photographers” during her hey-day as a fashion photographer, but an astonishing number of these images have remained unpublished. Miller became a celebrated Surrealist under the tutelage of her lover, Man Ray, and then joined the war effort during World War II, documenting everything from the liberation of concentration camps to the daily life of Nazi-occupied Paris. Midcareer, she made the unprecedented transition from one side of the lens to the other, from a Condé Nast model in Jazz Age New York to fashion photographer, creating stunning images that imbued fashion with her signature wit and whimsy. She was a woman who refused to be penned in, a free spirit constantly on the move from New York to London to Paris, from husbands to lovers and back, from photojournalistic objectivism to surrealism. ![]() Fashion model, surrealist artist, muse, photographer, war correspondent-Lee Miller defies categorization. ![]() ![]() Graced with evocative black-and-white illustrations by Junyi Wu, Elf Dog and Owl Head is heartfelt and exhilarating, wry and poignant, seamlessly merging the fantastic and the familiar in a tale both timely and timeless. There are traps and terrors in the woods, too, and if Clay isn’t careful, he might stray off the path and lose his way forever. Andersons thought-provoking new novella, Landscape with Invisible Hand. But they aren’t alone in their surreal adventures. Science fiction meets gritty realism in M. Each day the dog leads Clay down paths he never knew existed, deeper into the unknown. With this mysterious Elphinore as guide, he’ll glimpse ancient secrets folded all but invisibly into the forest. ![]() From the moment the elegant little dog with the ornate collar appears like an apparition among the trees, Clay sees something uncanny in her. A global plague has brought the world to a screeching halt, and with little to look forward to but a summer of video-calling friends, vying with annoying sisters for the family computer, and tuning out his parents’ financial worries, he’s only too happy to retreat to the woods. ![]() Anderson comes a magical adventure about a boy and his dog-or a dog and her boy-and a forest of wonders hidden in plain sight.Ĭlay has had his fill of home life.

Lydia hopes to find a little bit of magic in their new home. Then her mom surprises her by buying a dilapidated house in their neighborhood. Book cover of How to Be a Girl in the World by Caela Carter. An excellent addition to middle grade collections. This novel leaves readers with an important message about sexual harassment. Carter does a good job in addressing the topics of sexual assault and consent. Even more confusing is when Jeremy hovers too close and hugs a little too long. 'Carter crafts a powerful novel about sexual harassment and the adults who often diminish or ignore it. Her cousin and friends think she should be flattered, but the boys?and sometimes her mom?s boyfriend, Jeremy?make Lydia uncomfortable and confused. Lydia hasn?t felt comfortable in her own skin since the boys at her school started commenting on the way she looks in her uniform. ![]() Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead, Laurel Snyder, or Ali Benjamin! From the critically acclaimed author of the ALA Notable and Charlotte Huck Honor Book Forever, or a Long, Long Time comes a poignant coming-of-age novel about the complicated parts of growing up, finding your voice, and claiming your space. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Under no circumstances is a woman permitted to follow any employment not perfectly adapted, both as to kind and degree of labor, to her sex” (257). The men discuss it as if the women are playing at work. Being “inferior of strength to men, and further disqualified industrially in special ways” women work within an entirely separate labor structure (257). However, they are still treated as quite secondary to men. The fact that women have jobs outside the home is exciting and progressive. But when one looks more closely at gender roles, “utopia” becomes a bit more blurry. I do not imagine many people would argue the merits of the eradication of poverty and war. In Bellamy’s Boston in the year 2000, many things have changed from how they were in 1887, and the consensus among the book’s characters is that they have changed for the better. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kerry Washington, Little Fires Everywhere Nnamdi Asomugha, Sylvie’s Love Outstanding Actress in a Television Movie, Limited–Series or Dramatic SpecialĪunjanue Ellis, The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Limited–Series or Dramatic Specialīlair Underwood, Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J.
