In 1846, a group of women came together to form what would become one of nineteenth-century Hamilton's most important social welfare institutions. Through the Ladies Benevolent Society and Hamilton Orphan Asylum, they managed and administered a charitable visiting society, orphan asylum, and aged women's home. At this time, in other parts of the Western world, the public sphere and women's exclusion from it were reshaping political and gender relations. Although charitable women in Hamilton managed essential social services in the community, and although these efforts were publicly financed, their work was still defined as "private." In Private Women and the Public Good, Carmen J. Nielson explores the history of this pioneering charity and demonstrates that despite its notable political significance, women's charitable work failed to challenge the staunch division of private and public spheres.

Sans éluder les sujets polémiques que la fenêtre médiatique du Téléthon ne manque pas de susciter, c'est au travers d'histoires individuelles et d'anecdotes que Serge Braun décrit l'action d'une association de malades et de parents de malades qui a transformé le paysage de la génétique, de la biologie et des maladies orphelines. On y découvre aussi comment des recherches qui peuvent porter sur une maladie concernant deux personnes en France ont des retombées pour chacun d'entre nous. Se dévoile ainsi progressivement la vision de "ces personnes ordinaires qui font des choses extraordinaires". On plonge dans un monde insoupçonné et fascinant où se côtoient familles, chercheurs, médecins, bénévoles, et où l'émotion rejoint les grandes avancées qui sont en train de révolutionner l'histoire de la médecine, grâce à ce moment de solidarité unique au monde. Ce livre s'adresse aussi bien aux non-scientifiques qu'aux spécialistes et à tous ceux qui se demandent à quoi sert l'argent du Téléthon. Le groupe Eyrolles reversera 2 euros au profit du Téléthon pour l'achat de la version papier et un euro pour la version numérique.
