The astonishing story of Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg-a Jewish mathematician who saved thousands of lives in Nazi-occupied Poland by masquerading as a Polish aristocrat-drawing on Mehlberg’s own unpublished memoir. World War II and the Holocaust have given rise to many stories of resistance and rescue, but The Counterfeit Countess is unique. It tells the remarkable, unknown story of "Countess Janina Suchodolska," a Jewish woman who rescued more than 10,000 Poles imprisoned by Poland’s Nazi occupiers. Mehlberg operated in Lublin, Poland, headquarters of Aktion Reinhard, the SS operation that murdered 1.7 million Jews in occupied Poland. Using the identity papers of a Polish aristocrat, she worked as a welfare official while also serving in the Polish resistance.

Matthews’s book chronicles the changing fortunes and transformations of the organized suffrage movement, from its dismal period to its final victory that brought women the vote.The twenty years on either side of the turn of the twentiethcentury were a period of fundamental change and expansion inthe roles and opportunities open to American women. The periodculminated in the eventual success of a long drawn-outagitation for the vote, which seemed to bestow both formalrecognition of equal citizenship and offer the opportunity for politicalpower. [n these forty years women had at least gained accessto, and sometimes achieved substantial participation in, alllevels of education, almost all the professions, a much widerrange of jobs, and thus opportunities for some financial independence and a greater level of personal freedom. In the nextfifty years it would become apparent that many doors were stilleffectively shut, and that much of the promise and appearanceof equality was illusory, but to most middle-class women thisearlier period offered a sense of progress and widening horizons.[/center]

Lucy Stone was a prominent U.S. orator, abolitionist, suffragist, and a vocal advocate and organizer promoting rights for women. In 1847, Stone became the first woman from Massachusetts to earn a college degree. She spoke out for women’s rights and against slavery at a time when women were discouraged and prevented from public speaking. Stone was known for using her birth name after marriage, the custom at the time being for women to take their husband’s surname. Stone assisted in establishing the Woman’s National Loyal League to help pass the Thirteenth Amendment and thereby abolish slavery, after which she helped form the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA), which built support for a woman suffrage Constitutional amendment by winning woman suffrage at the state and local levels.
