Catherine Bernard – författare

The Celts conquered much of Europe by the first millennium B.C., making them one of the great founding cultures of European civilization. Their mythology is filled with beautiful heroes, gods and battles. Author Catherine Bernard has collected some of the most important myths of the Celtic world and presents them with an authentic appreciation for their unique characters, landscapes, and philosophies. Each of the stories is enhanced by expert commentary of scholars, wonderful illustrations and a question-and-answer section.

The women’s suffrage movement received support from several key abolitionists. One example was the freed slave and antislavery advocate who called herself Sojourner Truth. Through primary sources, images, and engaging narrative, students will learn that in addition to Truth’s impassioned battle to end slavery, she also fought for women’s rights, speaking to the crowds at suffrage gatherings during the 1850s and until her death.
