Story
1236. Beautiful Ailenor of Provence, cultured and intelligent, is only 13 when she marries Henry III. Aware of the desperate importance of providing heirs to secure the throne from those who would snatch it away, she is ruthless in her dealings with Henry's barons. As conflict escalates between them, Ailenor's shrewd and clever Savoyard uncles come to support her, but her growing political power is threatened when Henry's half-siblings also arrive at court. Henry and Ailenor become embroiled in an unpopular war to protect Gascony, the last English territory on the continent.

Story
Der erste Roman über Barbies Erfinderin Ruth Handler: Eine außergewöhnliche Frau, die ein Spielzeug erschuf, das zur Legende wurde – eine außergewöhnliche Geschichte, großes Kino! Im Jahr 1956 macht sich Ruth Handler, Mitbegründerin des aufstrebenden Spielzeugunternehmens Mattel, daran, den Markt zu revolutionieren: mit einer Puppe, die wie eine erwachsene Frau aussieht. Im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Babypuppen, die die traditionelle Mutterrolle bestärken, soll diese Puppe kleine Mädchen dazu ermutigen, alles sein und tun zu können, was sie wollen. So wird Barbie geboren.

Story
There’s a story out there buried in the muck, and Jordan Walsh, coming from a family of esteemed reporters, wants to be the one to dig it up. But it’s 1955, and the men who dominate the city room of the Chicago Tribune have no interest in making room for a female cub reporter. Instead Jordan is relegated to society news, reporting on Marilyn Monroe sightings at the Pump Room and interviewing secretaries for the White Collar Girl column. Of course, that all changes the moment she establishes a secret source inside Mayor Daley’s office.

In der Hölle von Auschwitz schenkte ihre Musik neue Hoffnung. Einst begeisterte die Geigerin Alma Rosé weltweit das Publikum, nun empfängt sie die tragische Wirklichkeit von Auschwitz. Als eine Aufseherin sie erkennt, wird Alma zur Leiterin des Mädchenorchesters ernannt.
