The stone witch of Florence / by Rasche, Anna,author.;

1348. As the Black Plague ravages Italy, Ginevra di Gasparo is summoned to Florence after nearly a decade of lonely exile. Ginevra has a gift--harnessing the hidden powers of gemstones, she can heal the sick. But when word spread of her unusual abilities, she was condemned as a witch and banished. Now the same men who expelled Ginevra are begging for her return. Ginevra obliges, assuming the city's leaders are finally ready to accept her unorthodox cures amid a pandemic. But upon arrival, she is tasked with a much different mission: she must use her collection of jewels to track down a ruthless thief who is ransacking Florence's churches for priceless relics--the city's only hope for protection. If she succeeds, she'll be a recognized physician and never accused of witchcraft again. But as her investigation progresses, Ginevra discovers she's merely a pawn in a much larger scheme than the one she's been hired to solve. And the dangerous men behind this conspiracy won't think twice about killing a stone witch to get what they want.

Lady Charlotte always gets her man / by Marsh, Violet,author.;

"Fleeing through the streets of London in a gown meant for her betrothal ball is not Lady Charlotte Lovett's finest decision. Seeking shelter at her estranged cousin's coffeeshop, however, turns out to be utterly inspired. Soon Charlotte has brewed up a plan to help create a secret backroom where women can sip coffee and debate on equal terms with men. It's also the perfect way to escape her arranged engagement. Not only will it provide income for her, but she can learn about London's dark side as she sets out to prove that her intended-or rather unintended-has villainous connections. Her first lead is the man's own brother, Dr. Matthew Talbot. The third son of a duke, Matthew was born into the peerage but never welcomed, especially by his malicious older brother. His choice to become a physician and a naturalist has cemented his outsider status. But when the alluring Lady Charlotte shows up at his favorite coffeehouse, the scholarly adventurer finds himself drawn back into her world of rarefied literary salons and upper-class elegance. Even as Charlotte is increasingly beguiled by Matthew, she becomes more and more convinced that he is hiding a secret, but does it involve his murderous older brother? Charlotte must decide whether to put her trust in Matthew so they can fight for their future and freedom in a world that challenges those who dare to defy the social order"--

The shadow key : a novel in four branches / by Stokes-Chapman, Susan,1985-author.;

"Dismissed from his post at a prestigious London hospital, Dr. Henry Talbot has little choice but to accept a mysterious offer of employment as a private physician from an inscrutable lord of a rural manor in Wales. Arriving at Plas Helyg, Lord Julian's isolated estate, Henry can't speak the language and finds himself treated with hostile suspicion by superstitious villagers, whose beliefs in myths and magic he's inclined to dismiss. But when he discovers that his predecessor died under peculiar, inexplicable circumstances, his determination to uncover the truth leads him down a path fraught with danger-made all the more perilous by his headstrong, reluctant ally Linette, Lord Julian's niece. Linette has lived a lonely life as Plas Helyg's unconventional mistress: her uncle treats her with disdain, her father is long dead, and her mother, long plagued by strange spells and believed by everyone around her to be deeply unwell, spends most of her time locked away in her rooms. Fiercely self-reliant, Linette refuses to wear women's clothes, has no interest in marriage, and takes an interest in the welfare of the men working in Lord Julian's mines, against his wishes. Linette has always suspected something is not quite right in the village, but it is only through Henry's dogged investigations that the dark truth about those closest to her will come to light-a truth that will bind hers and Henry's destinies together forever in ways neither thought possible"--

A Library Reads Pick!  An Amazon Best Book of the Month! An Aardvark Book Club Pick!  Rich with unforgettable characters, gorgeously drawn, and full of captivating historical drama, Eleanore of Avignon is the story of a healer who risks her life, her freedom, and everything she holds dear to protect her beloved city from the encroaching Black Death Provence, 1347. Eleanore (Elea) Blanchet is a young midwife and herbalist with remarkable skills. But as she learned the day her mother died, the most dangerous thing a woman can do is draw attention to herself. She attends patients in her home city of Avignon, spends time with her father and twin sister, gathers herbs in the surrounding woods, and dreams of the freedom to pursue her calling without fear. In a chance encounter, Elea meets Guigo de Chauliac, the enigmatic personal physician to the powerful Pope Clement, and strikes a deal with him to take her on as his apprentice. Under Chauliac’s tutelage she hones her skills as a healer, combining her knowledge of folk medicine with anatomy, astrology, and surgical techniques. Then, two pieces of earth-shattering news: the Black Death has made landfall in Europe, and the disgraced Queen Joanna is coming to Avignon to stand trial for her husband’s murder. She is pregnant and in need of a midwife, a role only Elea can fill. The queen’s childbirth approaches as the plague spreads like wildfire, leaving half the city dead in its wake. The people of Avignon grow desperate for a scapegoat and a group of religious heretics launch a witch hunt, one that could cost Elea—an intelligent, talented, unwed woman—everything.

Stories of A. by Belmont, Charles,film director.; Issartel, Marielle,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by Icarus Films in 1973.Shot in Paris in 1973, this feminist film on the fight for abortion rights was banned as soon it was released. A large-scale game of hide-and-seek ensued, as activists created an underground distribution network, hiding the film from the police — and creating an effective model for cinema as an act of civil disobedience in the process. Recently restored, STORIES OF A is both a fascinating historical document, and a reminder of the critical importance of access to abortion.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
