#SheSaid

I started putting the voting together but myself & a few others were running behind on our reading AND that we had very few fiction nominations for December.

So for November: catch-up on any of your #SheSaid books, or dive into something and tell us about it. I‘m hoping to catch up &
reread Wild by Cheryl Strayed.

And nominate a few fiction choices for December on the original post.

I started putting the voting together but noticed that both myself & a few others were running behind on our reading lately AND that we had very few fiction nominations for December.

So for November: catch-up on any of your #SheSaid books that you want/need, or dive into something and tell us about it. I‘m hoping to catch up &
reread Wild by Cheryl Strayed.

And nominate a few fiction choices for December in the comments below.

Karisa I‘ve just started Nobody‘s Girl, the memoir released last week by one of Epstein‘s victims. Sad but important read. It feels like it‘s release was kind of buried last week with all the chaos lately. Also, the author committed suicide in the spring so maybe that‘s why it doesn‘t have as much attention…

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Also it is Non-fiction November, so if anyone saw any good challenges for that this month, let us know. 22h

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Karisa That is on my to read list. I nominated it to be in the vote. I thought about just making it November‘s pick, but I know many will struggle to get it at the library right after it‘s release date. But I think it is going to be an essential read for everyone in the current world . 22h

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Maybe just junk the fiction for December and make that December‘s 🤷‍♀️ 22h

MallenNC I like the idea of having a free for all in November! I‘ll tag a few fiction books that I‘ve had on my TBR for a while.

I had no idea that women could inherit property, at least in Salem. Did this apply to the rest of the US as well?

#SheSaid

Read-n-Bloom During the colonial period, widows throughout the colonies, not just in Salem, could own property, a right that distinguished them from their married counterparts. This ability came from the common law doctrine of "coverture," which controlled the legal rights of women based on their marital status. 15h

Read-n-Bloom Feme sole (single or widowed women): An unmarried woman was known as a feme sole, or "woman alone." Like men, she could own property, enter into contracts, write a will, and sue in court. A woman who became a widow reverted to this legal status. 15h

Read-n-Bloom Feme covert (married women): Under the system of coverture, a married woman became a feme covert, meaning her legal rights were "covered" by her husband. She lost the right to own property, control her own wages, and enter into contracts independently. Any property she brought into the marriage was placed under her husband's control. 15h

Read-n-Bloom I searched it for you because I was curious too 😉🙂 15h

AnneCecilie Thanks for all you searching 😊 You found a lot of interesting information and it puts the Salem witch trials in a different light 4h

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AllDebooks I‘m way behind this month. So I‘m glad I‘m not alone 😅. I have been a terrible reader this year. 1w

vlwelser Chapters 5 + 6 are the best yet, IMO. Finally she seems to not be just spitting out things I've already consumed in other books. I guess I can also relate to chapter 5 more than some of the others. In 6, I liked what she had to say about the perceptions about Mumsnet and how it's perceived by outsiders. But also used by politicians as a way to discredit female voices. 1w

Singout Have there been votes for November and December yet? No pressure! 7d

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. 2w

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

vlwelser @mallennc I did, but mostly because she keeps quoting Caitlin Moran. 2w

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 2w

vlwelser @mallennc yes. That book was also similar even if it was a European perspective. 2w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser @MallenNC I loved Moran‘s first 2 books. I really need to read her more recent 2 new ones…I‘ll tag them below (edited) 1w
