The Jedburghs
The story of the Special Forces in World War II has never fully been told before. Information about them began to be declassified only in the 1980s. Known as the Jedburghs, these Special Forces were selected from members of the British, American, and Free French armies to be dropped in teams of three deep behind German lines.

Feminism as Life’s Work profiles four of these women: the author Inez Haynes Irwin, the historian Mary Ritter Beard, the activist Doris Stevens, and Lorine Pruette, a psychologist.

Through these women’s intertwined stories, Mary Trigg traces the changing nature of the women’s movement ...

Breaking Into YOUR Silicon Valley
Are you ready for career disruption? Have you ever wanted to work at Google, Facebook, Amazon, or a hot tech startup?
