Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower | Brittney Cooper

pick

#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction2025 #RealHistory #HonestHistory

Read with #SheSaid for April, Brittney Copper writes clearly & passionately & I like how she weaves her personal experiences in with culture, history & current events. It‘s dismaying that this book was written in 2018 with Trump in office the first time & reading it in 2025 things just continue to get worse. Truthfully as a white woman, it was uncomfortable reading at times as she ⬇️

DebinHawaii … is spot on in her evaluation of our collective role in the injustice & bigotry that hold women of color & thus all women back. I think I highlighted half the book, but the two quotes pictured especially stood out for me because at the end of the day, Cooper focuses on hope & building the kind of world we want to see.

Reading along as Mike Gayle tries to tackle his 1200+ item To Do list over the course of one year was interesting, inspiring, and very funny. The items on his list were so relatable! This was my March selection for #MonthlyNonfiction2025 .

5 DNF's -- Hail the Bail! (Actually, at least 6.)

I got somewhat derailed from my plan by the #TransRightsReadathon, so some extra books around the sides. Plan to read Making Money for my upcoming vacation though.

willaful @PuddleJumper #HailtheBail, right? 😁 I actually pretty much expect to DNF a lot of my #Roll100 choices because I picked them from my ancient TBR. 4w

PuddleJumper @willaful It gets them off your TBR! Mine is mostly books I bought years ago and just left to rot. I imagine I'll DNF most of them 4w

willaful @PuddleJumper Excellent, we're on the same page! 4w

julieclair Wow, what a month! You finished TWO chunksters?! 🏆 4w

julieclair @willaful @PuddleJumper Isn‘t it interesting how books that once sounded so interesting somehow lose their appeal as years go by? 4w

willaful @julieclair Four really! But I didn't count Crooked Kingdom because it was such a pageturner. 4w

willaful @julieclair @PuddleJumper yes, I could probably just dispense with the last 50% of my tbr and not even notice. It's sad too when there are genre classics that I once would have loved, but what can ya do... 4w

Daughter of Daring: The Trick-Riding, Train-Leaping, Road-Racing Life of Helen Gibson, Hollywood's First Stuntwoman (Original) | Mallory O'Meara

pick

"When talking about progress, people usually look to the future. This book looks to the past."

Such an amazing eye-opening account of the history of Hollywood & the huge role women played in its start. It follows the path of Helen Gibson, the first Hollywood stuntwoman in the 1910s, beginning with her involvement in rodeo & through her rise as a serial queen.
O'Meara brilliantly combines biography, history & humor, making this story easy to love
