pickI read a few pages and I‘m already in love with it 🥰👏
August #BookSpinBingo! #Spin is also my choice for #Jamaica for #FoodandLit, so that's convenient.
pickI should have read this book ages ago, but better late than never! I see the drawbacks of Friedan‘s approach, how she focuses on a very narrow subset of women for her work, but I do think it‘s full of important criticism. I saw myself in these pages, much more than I‘d like. Definitely worth a read.

Friedan uses this in her argument against housewives “adjusting” to their limited existence, but it really struck me how this applies to LGBTQ+
bailedI always wanted to read this but now I remember I mostly like fiction.
☘️Happy St. Patrick‘s Day! (We Boston Irish celebrate more than my actual Irish colleagues.) May the wind be always at your back, and the books be always on your nightstand. #stpatricksday
pickBook #28 of the year: “A History of Women in America” by Carol Hymowitz and Michaele Weissman
This is an older one, published in 1977, so it‘s missing a few decades. Having been published in the 70s, by Jewish women, about women, it‘s fantastically researched and studded with primary sources. There are undoubtedly more updated versions but the topic is one worth reading more about.
