These arrived yesterday!

I'm hoping to read (some of) the books mentioned in Barbara Boswell's study of Black South African women's writing.

And one of Walker's essays (about searching for artist biographies) is mentioned in Jane Austen's Bookshelf.

This book encourages embracing sensuality, pleasure, and self-love, which boosts confidence and even helps with tasks like cleaning. Go figure. LOL

The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, or at least got some interesting things from it. Her other book Down Girl was very good too. (edited) 2d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For gaslighting, I think I need to track down the original play now and read it. 2d

Bookwormjillk I got the audiobook from the library. I have a harder time sticking to schedules with audiobooks so I might listen to it all at once. I'm looking forward to this one. I need to work on my Eloquent Rage. 3d
Hooked_on_books I have this one and haven‘t read it yet, so I think I‘ll join you if you don‘t mind a hanger-on. 3d
MallenNC I‘m joining this time! I have had this book for a while and haven‘t read it yet. 3d

None of the books that I read wholly within March were noteworthy, so the tagged book is one of the favorites I finished in March. I need to get a copy so I have a reference of artists that I want to treasure hunt in museums.

I did also greatly enjoy Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.

#Read2025

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️

DebinHawaii … Published in 2020, the examples like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, incel gun rampages, and the #MeToo movement are still relevant in 2025 since little has changed & we have even gone further backwards in some respects. Still reading this book, spreading the message & most importantly acting on it are the only ways to bring about change. 4d

Hello #SheSaid. Posting a bit later today. I hope you are all finishing up with the book and if not learning a lot, at least feeling less alone and “gas lighted” when you are in certain situations and being told it‘s normal, not a problem, etc.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! The tags even posted without issues today! I need to post late more often 🤣 5d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk last week, I tried for literally hours. Logged out, back in, tried again. Let it sit after I hit enter, tried typing each in individually and then picking from the drop-down list of names. Anything I could think of….and nothing. I gave up after a few hours and just hoped you‘d find it by the tag. Today, copy & pasted the list in and it went right through and popped up as a comment immediately. 2 seconds 4d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Litsy may be gaslighting me 😂 4d
DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hah! But how frustrating! I finished the book this morning. It was a good but also frustrating read. 4d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DebinHawaii I felt the same, but I also feel better knowing that I‘m not imagining the problems or the scope of the problems 4d
vlwelser I'm glad the tags worked. I'm ready (ish) to jump back in for the next book. I don't have the book yet but it's on hold at the library so forward progress is happening. 4d
AllDebooks I enjoyed this, despite its reiteration of well documented inequalities. Written well with some good insights 4d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser sometimes any forward progress is good progress. Even if it‘s just a tiny bit 3d
staci.reads I thought the book finished strong. The chapter Unelectable- On the Entitlement to Power - was especially relevant after the last election. The part about the backlash against Klobachar after her perceived "disloyalty" to Al Franken was new information for me. I really liked her discussion of communality and the effect that expectation has on women in power. That hit home for me personally. 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads there was a great footnote about Harris too, from the primaries…which was very relevant now too. 2d

Earlier this year I listened to the author‘s 2 hour abridged presentation of this book but I had to own an unabridged copy. I am only 16 pages in but feel confident in saying every woman should own, read and gift this book. I‘m soaking up every word. It‘s just what I needed on the tail end of a year and a half depression. I know I will be gifting this to both my daughters.
