Was the century of Voltaire also the century of women? In the
eighteenth century changes in the nature of work, family life,
sexuality, education, law, religion, politics and warfare radically
altered the lives of women. Some of these developments caused
immense confusion and suffering; others greatly expanded women's
opportunities and worldview - long before the various women's
suffrage movements were more than a glimmer on the horizon. This
study pays attention to queens as well as commoners; respectable
working women as well as prostitutes; women physicists and
mathematicians as well as musicians and actresses; feminists as
well as their critics. The result is a rich and morally complex
tale of conflict and tragedy, but also of achievement. The book
deals with many regions and topics often under-represented in
general surveys of European women, including coverage of the
Balkans and both European Turkey and Anatolia, of Eastern Europe,
of European colonial expansion (particularly the slave trade) and
of Muslim, Eastern Orthodox, and Jewish women's history. Bringing
all of Europe into the narrative of early modern women's history
challenges many received assumptions about Europe and women in past
times, and provides essential background for dealing with issues of
diversity in the Europe of today.

The Brothers Grimm's fairy tales are brought to life for a new
generation of readers in their original, uncut form by the modern
master of gothic horror, Gris Grimly. Grimm. The name alone is
enough to call to mind any number of the timeless fairy tales
collected by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm in the early nineteenth
century. These folktales have been told and retold in many forms
for over two centuries, and while the particular mix of fantasy,
adventure, and wonder that defined their seven-volume collection
has endured, the terror, violence, and darkness of the original
stories has often been lost in translation. Enter Gris Grimly, who
has faithfully reproduced the original text of a selection of tales
and adorned them with his own inimitable artwork. The result is a
Grimm collection unlike any other, set in a world that is
whimsically sinister, darkly vivid, and completely unforgettable.
