Welcome to Litsy!

One of my favorite recent nonfiction reads about strong, intelligent, impactful women. #internationalwomensday

Oh no! God forbid little Piper or Harper or Mackenzie gets confused! How did they ever find time to fight this battle anyway since they're so busy doing "the world's toughest job"? God, I fucking hate breeders!

Interesting.

The morning after Jane Jacobs died, the owner of The Art of Cooking, the housewares store occupying 555 Hudson Street in Greenwich Village, went to unlock the door and open for business. She found bouquets of lillies and daisies at the doorstep, and an unsigned note: "From this house, in 1961, a housewife changed the world."

Not only was this book thoroughly enjoyable, but it's the perfect book if you want to read about Robert Moses without slogging through Robert Caro's million-page "The Power Broker" which, let's be honest, is impossible to get through.

But this book isn't just about Robert Moses. It's also about the power of activism, and how Jane Jacobs continues to change the world to this day.

I‘m excited to start this book about four women who shaped a cultural shift from valuing industry back to nature. And I love the cover! #readingwomen
