Oof. This hurts my heart. What a light they left in the world. I first read the tagged book of poems because of Alyisha‘s #ALSpine list and it made me laugh, cry, and feel both seen and exposed. Read their books and watch their videos. It‘s good stuff and a bit heartbreaking that there won‘t be more.

Came across Duck River Books in Columbia, TN. Found one book I had been looking for (Meditations) and one that was a total surprise: this CP Gilman collection.

Novel based on the true story of the Jane Collective, a group of women who provided abortions in Chicago in the 1970s before Roe v Wade. The story is interesting but the writing is rather flat —in places it reads more like a women‘s health pamphlet than realistic dialogue. Still a pick because the topic and the history are important—especially now.

This book looks at 29 famous women who lived/live life unapologetically, moving forward the way they choose despite how society tells them to be. There are several I definitely wouldn‘t want to emulate, but there‘s something to be said for living the way you want to. My only quibble is that this could be a bit more diverse.
