Welcome to Litsy!

Woke at 2 am and had to finish this one. The sole woman detective on the murder squad fears the other Ds are trying to sabotage her. As she begins her investigation into what appears to be a standard domestic murder she begins to question everything. #Shewill have to trust her frayed instincts and #shewill need to learn who she can rely on to solve this case. No need to ask whether French will deliver a page-turner. #shewill #nofemmeber

DAY 13: #Shewill read harder. And #shewill have a beer on a Tuesday evening because she can. The husband is traveling and it‘s been a long day.

I‘m only a few pages in to this book.Mara is a successful woman , runs a major AIDS foundation,but in rapid succession,her wife leaves her, her closest friend must fly to New Zealand to continue her post doc work,and Mara is diagnosed with MS.Mara is very capable and I have the feeling #shewill be able to fight to make the best of what life has handed her. #NoFemmeber

A stack of nonfiction books by women who want to change the world, stereotypes, attitudes, laws, practices, politics and society. A stack of books that shows the power of women, of a #SheWill mentality, of bad ass writers with opinions. Hopefully this stack will only keep growing over time 📚

Maya Angelou forever. #shewill and #shedid
This poem has been on my mind all day. Hope you all feel a surge of that indomitable spirit and overcome today - especially those of you dealing with prejudice and barriers 💕 Kia kaha.

Meri Henriques is a freshman from NY when she arrives on campus at Indiana University in 1963. She is shocked to witness the rampant racism, as she becomes part of the first class to live in integrated dorms.

Meri is forced to confront whether she wants to lay low in order to try and receive a scholarship to stay in school, or stand up for what she believes in.

Mary Shelly is marvellously brought to life in this gothic illustrated account of her life - her hardships & struggles in early life, her inspiration for creating Frankenstein, and her relationship with Percy Shelly, a tormented poet & married man, which caused her being banished by her family. Despite all these, Mary was able to channel her grief into a book which is arguably considered the ‘first true science fiction story.‘

Reading this lil‘ gem with my book club this month, and we are each going to try and add a 16th suggestion!
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a childhood friend, a new mother who wanted to know how to raise her baby girl to be a feminist. This is Adichie‘s letter of response: fifteen suggestions—direct, wryly funny, and perceptive—for how to empower a daughter so #SheWill become a strong, independent woman.

Hartman‘s biography of Charlotte Bronte shows how rebellious Bronte could be - gaining fame from her works, despite (or because of) her somewhat isolated life on an English moor. The more I read about her (and I do need to read this one), the more I like her spirit. She overcame obstacles, wore her heart on her sleeve, and crafted one of the most remarkable stories ever written. #SheWill #NoFemmeber

This is why I love my Facebook friendship circle: one of my friends who works on the philosophy of the ancients is translating the Iliad for fun and posting the latest bits for us. 😍😍😍

I hope #shewill get to translate the whole epic. (Bit of a cheat for #nofemmeber !)
