None of the books that I read wholly within March were noteworthy, so the tagged book is one of the favorites I finished in March. I need to get a copy so I have a reference of artists that I want to treasure hunt in museums.
I did also greatly enjoy Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.
pickThis was interesting Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman admitted to medical school in the states, her sister Emily followed a few years later. Emily had a harder time being taken seriously and being able to complete her degree. They focused on women‘s health not totally by choice. They opened what would become the first women‘s hospital in NYC.
They had their flaws.
I could used more, not sure what more just more.
Worth the read and time.
If you‘ve followed me for long you know I love a strong, badass woman and the (white) woman admitted to medical school would fall into that category. The fact that the male students agreed to admit her as a joke and then she was a damned good student and earned the respect of her fellow students and instructors, perfect.
I‘ll probably finish this tomorrow.
pickAbsolutely fascinating to learn additional medical history from a female trailblazing (and often times ridiculed) account of so many remarkable women medical staff, some patients, and the family and societies that surrounded them.
so-soA fascinating look into the often forgotten and erased women who helped to build the study of Egyptology into what it is today.
This was so interesting! It covered a lot of time, and several different women who all influenced Egyptology. I really appreciated how the author emphasized the presence of LGBTQ women, & the role all these white women played in the colonialism against Egypt. It was a bit dry, but well worth the read. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
New audiobook from the library in my ears. So far it‘s making me want to 😱 at the patriarchy. But I love the medical history too!
pickI love when the tone of science non-fiction surprises me. I think doing a tandem read with the print and audiobook helped in this case, because matching audio to speed of print reading gave the narrator a consistently clear, yet palpably upbeat tone, and it was wonderful to hear the audiobook narrator skillfully pronounce all the French words and names, along with a smattering of other European/Eastern European designations. 1/?
