Read with #SheSaid & I‘m thankful for the group & @Riveted_Reader_Melissa as I‘m sure I wouldn‘t have picked it up without the push. I was able to track a hard copy down & get it transferred to my local library. It‘s both an interesting & important look at being an activist. I learned a lot about Planned Parenthood as well as the author, the daughter of Former Texas Governor Ann Richards. Impactful & inspiring.🩷
Hello #SheSaid!
I hope you are all enjoying the end of this read! It was a good one that I put off for a long time, but I think it came up to read here at the right time when I finally read it….some book serendipity..bookendipity …the right book at the right time when we really needed to hear it (especially if you live in the US… we have to make more trouble here I think before it gets better).
Let me know what you think in the comments
The former leader of Planned Parenthood inspires everyone to get involved and stand up for what you believe in. She also happens to be the daughter of Ann Richards whose story is also pretty epic.

Hello #SheSaid!
Sorry for the late post everyone. My grandmother is in the hospital and I spent the day there. Finally home and have Wi-Fi again (also ran out of data while I was out 🤣 bad planning on my part).
Apparently I was not ready to Make Trouble today….see you in the comments.
(And yes, my grandma is ok, might need a pacemaker, I‘ll know more tomorrow after some tests)
5⭐ read!
I love history and historical fiction books. I had never heard of Victoria Woodhull. She wasn't mentioned in history classes when I was in school. Everyone has heard of Susan B. Anthony, but few of Victoria Woodhull.
What's so special about her? She was the first female stockbroker, the first woman to testify in front of Congress, and the first woman to run for President of the United States all during the 1870's. But, she's not ⬇️

Hello #SheSaid! How are you this weekend?
How‘s the book going?
I‘m a chapter behind, but hoping to catch up tonight, but still really enjoying this one. I hope you are too.
When all your library holds come in at once! Today‘s #bookhaul includes the tagged book for #SheSaid & Emma of 83rd Street for #Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent (not a fan of the audiobook narration so going for print) & I have catching up to do for both. Others for #SeriesLove2024 & the graphic novel is for a reading challenge prompt.
The book🐔🐔are worried that with the other 2 I have checked out & not read yet, I won‘t get to all of them.🤷🏻♀️
Hello #SheSaid!
I‘m enjoying this so far. I want to get back to Planned Parenthood, but this backstory of organizing on multiple levels is very interesting, and something we all probably need to pay attention to and get involved with again as we need to fight for rights we thought we had, all over again…at least in the US.
