"when I counted all the statues in the UK's Public Monuments and Sculptures Association database, I found that there were more statues of men called John than there were of historical, named, non-royal women (the only reason adding royal women to the figure just beats Johns is down to Queen Victoria, whose enthusiasm for putting up statues of herself
I have a grudging respect for."
I want to remind everyone at this time about special ballots and mail ins. These are never counted right away. Especially important for Pennsylvania and Michigan these two states are razor thin. And some of the states haven't finished their counts yet.

Ended up at 728 for the first two weeks. I am pretty bummed that I didn‘t even break a thousand — but I am going to ramp things up for the back half!

pickI didn't have high blood pressure before listening to this, but I possibly do now.
I knew the gender data gap was problematic but had no idea how all-pervasive it is, and honestly hadn't given much thought to the everyday repercussions of that. ?
I hope men will read this book too, even if it is "wimmin's things".
pickWhat a fantastic, frustrating read! I expect to revisit this in the future. It also dovetailed nicely with other recent reads, especially The Feminine Mystique, The Math of Life and Death, and Recollections of my Nonexistence. I‘ve been sharing tidbits with my mom and now she‘s interested in it, too. Highly recommended.
pickI listened to this but I will be buying a physical copy. This book made me move between two emotions. Rage and despair. How is it that it‘s 2024 and we still have such inequality for women. Half the population! This fight is so exhausting! More men reading books like this would be a start! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickIf you are a woman, this book will confirm that you are not delusional in your perception of the world being phallocentric.

I made a #BookTree once & decided I am way too lazy for it. It‘s putting the books away that sucks! Anyway, last year my holiday cards & postcards from Zazzle featured book stacks & book trees. 🤷🏻♀️📚🎄
I picked the tagged book for its title but it looks so interesting I may need to add it to my TBR! 🌳
I didn't quite finish my second nonfiction book this month so this one won by default but it probably would have won anyway. Great, informative read.
