      From the internationally bestselling author of The Radium Girlscomes a dark but ultimately uplifting tale of a woman whose incredible journey still resonates today. Elizabeth Packard was an ordinary Victorian housewife and mother of six. That was, until the first Woman's Rights Convention was held in 1848, inspiring Elizabeth and many other women to dream of greater freedoms. She began voicing her opinions on politics and religion -- opinions that her husband did not share. Incensed and deeply threatened by her growing independence, he had her declared 'slightly insane' and committed to an asylum. Inside the Illinois State Hospital, Elizabeth found many other perfectly lucid women who, like her, had been betrayed by their husbands and incarcerated for daring to have a voice. But just because you are sane, doesn't mean that you can escape a madhouse ... Fighting the stigma of her gender and her supposed madness, Elizabeth embarked on a ceaseless quest for justice. It not only challenged the medical science of the day and saved untold others from suffering her fate, it ultimately led to a giant leap forward in human rights the world over.

      „Mit Volldampf voraus, Felix“ ist die Fortsetzung des Bestsellers “Felix, die Bahnhofs-Katze” und eine ganz besondere Tier-Biographie für alle Katzen-Liebhaber und für alle Fans von Katzen-Büchern wie „Bob, der Streuner“, „Dewey und ich“ und „Und dann kam Billy“. Felix kam 2011 als kleines Wollknäuel am Bahnhof in Huddersfield an. Sechs Jahre später wurde sie zum Senior Pest Controller befördert und jagt nach wie vor Mäuse und Tauben. Von Anfang an war sie voll integriertes Mitglied des Bahnhof-Teams und ist in romantischen oder auch tragischen Situationen immer zur Stelle und für die Menschen da. Die Katze bringt zusammen, was zusammen gehört und spendet in schwierigen Situationen Kraft und Vertrauen - die Teamkollegen und die zahlreichen Besucher erhalten von Felix Trost und neuen Lebensmut. Felix zaubert den Menschen ein Lächeln auf ihr Gesicht. Dennoch ist das Leben für Felix etwas hektischer, seit sie eine solche Berühmtheit ist. Täglich reisen zahlreiche Fans von nah und fern an, sogar aus China, um Felix einmal sehen und sie streicheln oder ein Selfie mit ihr machen zu können. Die Kollegen sorgen sich um Felix und ob sie der täglichen Herausforderung wird standhalten können. Da ist es natürlich sehr sinnvoll, einen Katzen-Lehrling einzustellen, der mit ihr gemeinsam diese Last schultern kann. Doch lässt Madame den kleinen und überaus reizenden Kater Bolt auf dem Bahnhof zu und werden sie gute Mannschafts-Kollegen? Felix erlebt neue Abenteuer - nun mit dem kleinen, süßen Kater Bolt im Schlepptau. Allerlei Abwechslung wartet auf die beiden, denn nach wie vor steht die Mäusejagd auf der Tagesordnung, neue Schlafplätze müssen eingerichtet, Diätvorschriften beachtet und Friseurbesuche absolviert werden. Sie raufen sich zusammen und bilden das Herz einer wundervollen Gemeinschaft. „Felix, die Bahnhofs-Katze“ war 2018 ein internationaler Bestseller und auch in Deutschland mehrere Wochen auf der Bestseller-Liste. Felix ist ein weltweiter Social-Media-Hit. Die Katze hat über 130.000 Fans bei Facebook und nutzt ihre Bekanntheit auch für karitative Zwecke, etwa Spendenaktionen für kranke Tiere.
