☘️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.
Here are the #Roll100 books I‘ll be choosing from in November. I‘ve already started The Feminine Mystique even though it‘s still October. I‘m still reading but struggling to express myself or concentrate with the brain fog caused my chronic illness relapse. I find myself staring at the TV, not even following programs. Just normalizing struggling! I‘m sorry if anyone else is rn, too! 💕💕💕
#WondrousWednesday on a Friday, I've had a busy week 🙃
(1) The Feminine Mystique
(2) About 4 months (War and Peace), if we don't count the books that I tried to pick up several times and ended up bailing on
(3) 18 years (and counting) in teaching
Thanks for the tag @Eggs 💕
Last night, we went to see “Once Upon A One More Time” - a new Broadway musical where all the songs are Britney Spears hits. The plot centered around Cinderella, Snow White, & other princesses attempting to write their own happy ever after after reading Friedan‘s book (not kidding). Cindy‘s Fairy Godmother was Betty herself. A fever dream but incredibly fun! 💖😂✨🫶🏻🪩🧚🏻♀️
Both these items were sold at the merch booth. 🙌🏻 💪🏻
100 years ago today … This is one of the many reasons why feminism continues to be relevant and important. There are women still alive who were born before it was legal for them to wear pants in public.
This Hulu miniseries perfectly embodies #GirlPower by portraying these iconic women so well you actually believe you‘re watching 20 something Gloria Steinem, and by perfectly capturing the frenzied energy of the age that we could maybe do with a bit of today. It‘s also a great history lesson for any daughters of the digital age. Who else is MAD we still haven‘t managed to ratify the ERA?!! 😡🤬 #MayMontage @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickThis is such a powerful short story about tradition and modernity. What do we gain? What do we lose? It‘s important to remember our heritage and to honor it. Alice Walker is another important voice in literature.
