This is Stridsberg‘s newest novel and it‘s not in the database so tagging her breakthrough novel. This is my first Stridsberg, but I‘ve wanted to read her for years

This is a family saga, both told backwards and forwards.
It‘s the 1900s and Laura has just given birth and telling two men that they‘re the father. This part is told as on a dream

In the present, our protagonist is telling us about her life, parents and grandparents, and these

“I could not give Wally or her #contemporary agency, but what I could do was portray her as resilient, clever, loving, courageous, resourceful, and #funny. For me, even though it was a story of a fictitious character from #literature & a cast of #historical figures, Anima Rising became Wally‘s book. For me, her memory has been a blessing.”

It‘s a clever book swaying under the mentorship of Lady Atwood. I really enjoyed the characters but am not sure women would, as they do in the end here, fall into the “power” trap that is associated with “toxic” masculinity… but looking into the opposite mirror was all the fun of this book, and chillingly well done.

This is somewhat outdated because it was published before the Gates‘ divorce, Melinda isn‘t running the foundation anymore but has her own.
Still interesting though. Gates narrates the audiobook. She talks about women‘s issues, how her foundation is trying to solve problems globally (like birth control to help with family planning), & tells some of her personal stories. Liked hearing about the work she does to give people more opportunities. 👇

Scochrane26 Makes me wonder how she feels and what she is doing about the current situations. At least she is using a portion of her money to help people. 6d

This book specifically talks about (imp) trials in history where someone was accused of being a "witch", why they were accused, who accused them, and what was at stake. We get to see how accusers conflated this idea of being a "witch" with religious beliefs involving the devil, as a way to really people to their side (bc oh no, the devil).

But my fav part was the contemporary section. I think that part brought things into perspective #feminism

The Power | Naomi Alderman

20% in and this reads like butter… the role reversal is on point with the world‘s increasing masculinity- love how alderman leans into events taking them to the furthest, rather than backing down for reader comfort.

Reggie There was a very good mob story with one of the characters in here. 1w
Creadnorthey Roxy‘s quite the firebrand… I‘m deep in now where the masculine cruelty is flipping into the female gender… 1w
