So she has taken that passion, and years of detailed translation work, and turned the tales into, The Queen's Mi rror: Fai1y Tales by Gennan Women Writers. The anthology includes 28 stories by 25 female authors, ranging from Catherine the Great and Elisabeth, Queen of Romania, to some of the most prolific writers of the 19th century. The book includes authors from varying socio-economi c, ethnic and religious backgrounds, including famous and not-so-famous authors who had an unrecognized inl1uence on later generations of readers and writers. "There exists no corresponding historical anthology for German-speaking women writers, either in German or English," Jarvis said. "This coll ection will pay them long­ overdue homage." The book, which was produced in conjunction with her coll eague, Jeannine Blackwell at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, will be published by University of Nebraska Press. 2 Summer program provides iump start on college Rob Gardner wasn't thrilled about having a mere two days to relax after graduating from Elk River High School before starting college classes. But that was before he arrived at SCSU and joined students in the Advanced Preparation Program (APP), an experience he quickly learned would be "really cool. " By the end of five weeks with 24 other incoming SCSU freshman students of color, Gardner was hooked on college life and higher education, so much so that he signed up for additional summer courses and continued his four-hour-a-day job at the American Indian Center.
