Some books I read this year with #Pink covers. 🌷💕🌸
Two years of existing in a misogynist hellscape where eggs have more rights than you, as a living, breathing, person with dreams of your own. Two years of being seen as nothing more than a production line. Roe was never enough. When we said we ‘weren‘t going back‘, that was true. We‘ve gone somewhere much worse.
pick#ReadAway2024 #SheSays Cecile Richards comes from political royalty but she doesn‘t just ride her mother‘s coattails. She is a leader and a fighter for social equality. This book is inspiring and I give it all the stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When all your library holds come in at once! Today‘s #bookhaul includes the tagged book for #SheSaid & Emma of 83rd Street for #Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent (not a fan of the audiobook narration so going for print) & I have catching up to do for both. Others for #SeriesLove2024 & the graphic novel is for a reading challenge prompt.
The book🐔🐔are worried that with the other 2 I have checked out & not read yet, I won‘t get to all of them.🤷🏻♀️
Hello #SheSaid!
I‘m enjoying this so far. I want to get back to Planned Parenthood, but this backstory of organizing on multiple levels is very interesting, and something we all probably need to pay attention to and get involved with again as we need to fight for rights we thought we had, all over again…at least in the US.
Up next for #SheSaid….and somehow it‘s falling at a very good time for reading it, bad time for women in the US.
So put in your library holds, interlibrary loans for this one starting next weekend.
pickThis was a masterclass by Caletti. Ivy was palpably real, even when her reactions were infuriating, and the "abortion road trip love story" was equally tender, scary, and eye-opening. A fascinating exploration of choices or lack thereof. #yalit
so-soI nearly forgot to post about this book, which probably says it all.
Covering the undoubtedly important and horrific topic of forced sterilisation in the US in the 1970s I found that the way the book was written didn‘t do anything for me.

pickThis was an excellent piece of Canadian women's history I didn't know about: a caravan of 17 women who travelled from BC to Ottawa in 1970, with multiple stops en route, to demand a just law for abortion on demand from the federal government. The climax was a few chaining themselves to seats in the House while 300 more protested outside. Vivid descriptions of people, and dynamics.

so-soI don‘t deal very well with books about perfect mothers or, in this case, about mothers teached to be perfect. Or what is supposed to be perfect. I guess I could have known but I needed a book to tick-off the #ReproductiveRights prompt of #Booked2023 (and yes I know it‘s a bit far fetched). Also the dystopian part of the book felt so lazily done. Nothing is dystopian in the book except for that stupid school.
