© The Author(s) 2014. Young children's screams have been misunderstood at best and at worst subjected to discipline. Drawing upon data from an ethnography in a London nursery, this article suggests that not only are screams part of the 'soundscape', but they are overflowing with meanings including about inequities in the social order of educational settings. These meanings are afforded by the physical and sociocultural aspects of voice quality, as well as overcivilizing efforts. Suggesting an approach of methodological answerability in listening to 'the scream', the article considers voice quality in relation to what matters and as a mode of potential transgressive and political articulation.

THE BEST ANTIDOTE TO FEMINIST DESPAIR IS KNOWLEDGE OF FEMINISM'S HISTORY. WITH EACH NEW SKIRMISH IN THE GENDER WARS, FEMINISTS FALL INTO GREATER DISPAIR. FEMINISM HAS LOST SO OFTEN THAT THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO FORGET THAT THEY HAVE TRANSFORMED AMERICAN POLITICAL CULTURE. FEMINIST ISSUES HAVE ENTERED NATIONAL MAINSTREAM POLITICS WHERE THEY HAVE BECOME A LITMUS TEST FOR BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT. THE REAL VICTORY IS THAT FEMINISTS HAVE POLITICIZED WOMEN'S EXPERIENCES AND FORCED THE NATION TO DEBATE THEM.

The story of the generation of hidden child survivors told through the true experiences of three Jewish girls-from Poland, Holland, and France-who transcended their traumatic childhoods to lead remarkable lives in America. Only one in ten Jewish children in Europe survived the Holocaust, many in hiding. In Such Good Girls, R. D. Rosen tells the story of these survivors through the true experiences of three girls. Sophie Turner-Zaretsky, who spent the war years believing she was an anti-Semitic Catholic schoolgirl, eventually became an esteemed radiation oncologist. Flora Hogman, protected by a succession of Christians, emerged from the war a lonely, lost orphan, but became a psychologist who pioneered the study of hidden child survivors. Unlike Anne Frank, Carla Lessing made it through the war concealed with her family in the home of Dutch strangers before becoming a psychotherapist and key player in the creation of an international organization of hidden child survivors. In braiding the stories of three women who defied death by learning to be "such good girls," Rosen examines a silent and silenced generation-the last living cohort of Holocaust survivors. He provides rich, memorable portraits of a handful of hunted children who, as adults, were determined to deny Hitler any more victories, and he recreates the extraordinary event that lured so many hidden child survivors out of their grown-up "hiding places" and finally brought them together.
