Postmarked Yesteryear

From naughty gnomes and dancing pumpkins to rabbits driving cars, postcards have marked time like no other form of art. Today these postcards are treasured artefacts as well as important historical documents from around the world.

American women’s suffrage activists were fascinated with suffrage themed postcards. They collected them, exchanged them, wrote about them, used them as fundraisers and organized “postcard day” campaigns. The cards they produced were imaginative and ideological, advancing arguments for the enfranchisement of women and responding to antisuffrage broadsides. Commercial publishers were also interested in suffrage cards, recognizing their profit potential. Their products, though, were reactive rather than proactive, conveying stereotypes they assumed reflected public attitudes—often negative—towards the movement. Cataloging approximately 700 examples, this study examines the “visual rhetoric” of suffrage postcards in the context of the movement itself and as part of the general history of postcards.

In this second book in a series of thrilling stories, the author vividly describes the soul-stirring details that surround the amazing deeds of some of America's greatest war heroes. You will marvel at the deeds of these exceptional men (and women) who unselfishly risked their lives for you, for our nation and for the freedom of the world. In telling tales of awesome courage, sacrifice and achievement from the American Revolution to the War in Iraq, this Vietnam War veteran and retired G-man proclaims his profound love for America, his rich pride in our nation's military, and his strong personal faith in God Almighty.

This volume is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed print publication, covering all areas of magic, witchcraft, paganism and all geographical regions and all historical periods.
