    Liberated Spirits: Two Women Who Battled Over Prohibition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 667min
    A provocative new take on the women behind a perennially fascinating subject - Prohibition - by best-selling author and historian Hugh Ambrose.The passage of the 18th Amendment (banning the sale of alcohol) and the 19th (women's suffrage) in the same year is no coincidence. These two Constitutional amendments enabled women to redefine themselves and their place in society in a way historians have neglected to explore. Liberated Spirits describes how the fight both to pass and later to repeal Prohibition was driven by women, as exemplified by two remarkable women in particular. With fierce drive and acumen, Mabel Willebrandt transcended the tremendous hurdles facing women lawyers and was appointed assistant attorney general. Though never a Prohibition campaigner, once in office, she zealously pursued enforcement despite a corrupt and ineffectual agency.Wealthy Pauline Sabin had no formal education in law or government, but she, too, fought entrenched discrimination to rise in the ranks of the Republican Party. While Prohibition meant little to her personally - aristocrats never lost access to booze - she seized the fight to repeal it as a platform to bring newly enfranchised women into the political process and compete on an equal footing with men.Along with a colorful cast of supporting characters, from rum-runners and Prohibition agents on the take to senators and feuding society matrons, Liberated Spirits brings the Roaring Twenties to life in a brand new way. ungekürzt.

    Black City Demon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
    Since he became the guardian of the Gate between our world and Feirie 1600 years ago, Nick Medea, once Saint George, has battled to keep the darkest Feirie - the Wyld - from invading the mortal plane. With the dragon an unwilling part of him, Nick maintains balance between realms, often at great cost to him and those nearest to him. Nick and his ragtag confederates - including the shape-shifter Fetch and Nick's reincarnated love, Claryce - have battled the Wyld, but mortals as sinister as the darkest Feirie.Now, with Prohibition in full swing and bootlegger wars embattling Chicago, a murderous evil born of the mortal world has turned its attention to the power of the Gate...and Nick himself. Nick must turn again to his most untrustworthy ally: The dragon within. Yet even together they may not be enough to face what was once a man...but is now a creature even dragons may fear. ungekürzt.
