Read Women in Dark Times Storyline:
Jacqueline Rose's new book begins with three remarkable women: revolutionary socialist Rosa Luxemburg; German-Jewish painter Charlotte Salomon, persecuted by family tragedy and Nazism; film icon and consummate performer Marilyn Monroe.Together these women have a shared story to tell, as they blaze a trail across some of the most dramatic events of the last century—revolution, totalitarianism, the American dream. Enraged by injustice, they are each in touch with what is most painful about being human, bound together by their willingness to bring the unspeakable to light.Taking the argument into the present are today's women, courageous individuals involved in some of the cruellest realities of our times.Pages of Women in Dark Times :
