Enjoying this book about female friendships throughout history. I‘ve haven‘t heard of any of these women and they‘re all so inspiring 💜
so-soI really wanted to LIKE this. There‘s a lot of good information here - history that goes beyond white, wealthy women to feature girls/women from diverse eras of history and geographic locations. But the tone of the book kept putting me off. Normally, quippy and snappy would be a treat, but here I wondered who the intended audience was. It sounded more like middle grade/teen girls but oblique references made me think this was meant for adults.
Looking for a postbox and spring - where did it go! #jb. I hope the letters not too wet @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I‘m super behind - sorry lovely ladies! Tell me where did March go?? But they‘re in the post tonight. 😘#jb
Reading about The Haenyeo, real-life mermaids from the island of Jeju in South Korea. They‘re free-divers, following a tradition dating back to 400 AD, who hold their breath for two minutes at a time, for up to seven hours a day, to collect sea life with their bare hands.

pickHow to describe this book other than phenomenal? I'm a big believer (because it's true) that women have always been active change makers & participants in history, their stories were / are just often hidden, overlooked, or actively erased. & this book brings light to so many amazing groups of ladies & female friendships that have impacted their communities, cultures, or the world. Highly, highly recommend.
This books and this view make for the perfect morning 😍

"Let's just say 'How to Train Your War Elephant' was likely part of the curriculum."
Have I mentioned how excellent this book is ?
Well I'm already obsessed with this one, and I'm only two chapters in. The writing is so great and wonderfully real and conversational. The topic is excellent. And the historical girl squads are everything.
Next up! @QuirkBooks
