so-soA fascinating look into the often forgotten and erased women who helped to build the study of Egyptology into what it is today.
This was so interesting! It covered a lot of time, and several different women who all influenced Egyptology. I really appreciated how the author emphasized the presence of LGBTQ women, & the role all these white women played in the colonialism against Egypt. It was a bit dry, but well worth the read. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
so-soLiterary and historical fiction with well-written prose of unlikeable characters. I most enjoyed the shorter section told from the POV of Charlene's daughters.
Didn‘t sleep well, so I read some of this book & then I stretched. Lorelei tried to steal the yoga mat again 😆😆😆
“This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.”

No audiobook at the moment but I wanted to share this project anyway 😊 going to be a birthday gift to my brother-in-law 🪡
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I was fairly indifferent to the work of the Gates‘ Foundation but now I have a new found respect and admiration for Melinda French Gates. I can‘t wait to se what else she does.
Well, it started snowing here, so I‘m inside with Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the lovely cup of tea my husband just made me.
