Mobilizing Minerva: American Women in the First World War analyzes the strategies of female physicians, nurses, and women-at-arms who linked military service with the opportunity to achieve professional and civic goals. Since women armed to defend the state during war could also protect themselves, Kimberly Jensen argues, Americans began to focus on women's relationship to violence--both its wielding against women and women's uses of it. Intense discussions of rape, methods of protecting women, and proper gender roles abound as Jensen draws from rich case studies to show how female thinkers and activists wove wartime choices into long-standing debates about woman suffrage, violence against women, gender-based discrimination, and economic parity. The war created new urgency in these debates, and Jensen forcefully presents the case of women participants and activists: women's involvement in the obligation of citizens to defend the state validated their right of full female citizenship.

Finalist for the Frances Fuller Victor Award for General Nonfiction, Oregon Book Awards, sponsored by Literary ArtsNativism, pseudoscience, and the campaign against the enemy withinIn the era of the First World War and its aftermath, the quest to identify, restrict, and punish internal enemy “others,” combined with eugenic thinking, severely curtailed civil liberties for many people in Oregon and the nation. In Oregon’s Others, Kimberly Jensen analyzes the processes that shaped the growing surveillance state of the era and the compelling personal stories that tell its history. The exclusionary and invasive practices ranged from multiple wartime registrations for women and the registration of “enemy aliens” to the incarceration of women with sexually transmitted diseases, the use of deportations, and forced sterilization at the Oregon State Hospital and other institutions. But some Oregonians resisted the restrictions and challenges to their civil liberties. Their fierce determination to maintain their rights and freedoms fueled movements for human rights, social justice, and dissent that still reverberate today.Comprehensive and compelling, Oregon’s Others examines the collision of civil liberties and persecution through the lens of gender, gender identity and presentation, ability, race, ethnicity, and class.

Esther Clayson Pohl Lovejoy, whose long life stretched from 1869 to 1967, challenged convention from the time she was a young girl. Her professional life began as one of Oregon''s earliest women physicians, and her commitment to public health and medical relief took her into the international arena, where she was chair of the American Women''s Hospitals after World War I and the first president of the Medical Women''s International Association. Most disease, suffering, and death, she believed, were the result of wars and social and economic inequities, and she was determined to combat those conditions through organized action.Lovejoy''s early life and career in the Pacific Northwest gave her key experiences and strategies to use for what she termed "constructive resistance," the ability to take effective action against unjust power. She took a political and pragmatic approach to what she called "woman''s big job"-achieving a full female citizenship-and emphasized the importance of votes for women. In this engaging biography, Kimberly Jensen tells the story of this important western woman, exploring her approach to politics, health, and society and her civic, economic, and medical activism.Watch the book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blyfLWnCTV0

Deep in the Amazon, Chrissy was amazed at the sights, sounds, and smells of the rain forest. Her biggest excitement, however, was watching her beloved Devin working alongside the professor as the two of them deciphered the golden glyphs in the cave. How they could understand all the images and squiggly lines was beyond her. Chrissy knew that Vicki, the professor’s assistant, was not a fan of hers, so she decided to hang out with Ricardo. She was fascinated by his story of the elusive smoke people, reported to be hidden in this area, and how so many people had mysteriously disappeared. Of course, that would not happen to them. Still, the thought made a cold chill run down her spine.
