vlwelser I'm starting to feel like this author is covering ground other people have already wandered over. It's good. I'm just not completely blown away by it. 3d

MallenNC @vlwelser There were definitely times when I started to wonder if I‘d read this already. 2d

vlwelser @mallennc I did, but mostly because she keeps quoting Caitlin Moran. 22h

MallenNC @vlwelser I have read How to Be a Woman so maybe that‘s why. It also reminds me of that Witches book we read last year by the French author. I can‘t remember the name 20h

vlwelser @mallennc yes. That book was also similar even if it was a European perspective. 10h

MallenNC I‘m going to try to keep up this month! I‘ve been thinking about what she says in chapter 1 about the tendency online to say people opposite of our beliefs are aging faster because they are hateful inside. (Paraphrasing) and how that makes us see aging as a sign of failure. That‘s interesting to me 1w

vlwelser I do think this is interesting @MallenNC it's like they couldn't come up with a more creative insult. Joke's on them though because it happens to everyone. Angry people are often accused of being ugly. I like the Twits quotes even if Dahl was a crazy bigot himself. 1w

The Woman They Could Not Silence: The Timeless Story of One Woman's Journey to Be Heard | Kate Moore

pick

“Ahead of her time, she challenged a patriarchal system & a doctor-dominated world, compelling both to be better & fairer. She did it all alone, bolstered only by her belief that she was right, in a world that continually told her she was wrong. She fought every day of her life to make things better, dedicating her life to others, wanting justice for all.” Finally finished this #shesaid selection. So good, nonfiction that doesn‘t read like NF.

ncsufoxes The obstacles Elizabeth faced back then are some of the same that women face today. The stigmas of mental health & women being lessened are still all very prevalent today, sadly. Elizabeth was an inspiring woman that fought the system even when the odds were insurmountable. It‘s amazing what she accomplished at a time when society was so against her. #Fthepatriarchy 1w

TheBookHippie It‘s on my list! 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures I really enjoyed this one. I thought the writing and research was well done and the entire book highly readable. She was an amazing woman. 1w
