This is a perfect example of why we need to keep DEIA here in America. It‘s never been about race or sex as much as it has been about points of view. How can a group of all white men possibly know what a Black female soldier needs? How can a group of physically fit people make decisions for disabled people without knowing that experience?
By removing DEIA we‘re not eliminating “wokeness”we‘re eliminating multiple views of the world.
Stay safe
pickGreat book! Aside from the blatant sexism, I really enjoyed this. Elizabeth may be considered harsh and abrasive by some, but I thought she was a great character!

My #HyggeHourReadathon has developed into an all afternoon, not moving from this spot. This is most definitely a 'calm and boring day'. 😊📚☕️🐈
I'm spending the day alternating between reading the tagged book and listening to #NaturaLitsy January read, What the Wild Seas Can Be. 🌊 🎧
For the actual hour, I'll be planning February's reads and journaling.
All welcome to join us.

pickWell this was totally unexpected!
I've seen this book around a lot but never really paid attention to it. Then I saw it was an Apple TV show, and being me I obviously decided to read the book first.
Not only was it something totally different and refreshing but it was really deep, and spoke to my heart in ways I didn't expect.
In conclusion I get the hype.

I started reading this book and saw its Netflix movie adaptation 3 years ago and will finally finish it this week 📖🍩💖

Recommended by at least 2 friends. I am already overreacting to all the sexism at work (who has work in engineering and still been "mistaken" for the secretary will see why). I need to brace myself for the rest ;)
Watching Jeopardy from a few weeks ago, and I learned that this gentleman is the husband of Bonnie Garmus, who wrote Lessons in Chemistry. I may owe her an apology for saying that her characters didn‘t seem realistic. I can DEFINITELY picture this guy asking someone to pass the sodium chloride. 😜
“Girls couldn't play baseball, or can they?“ This quote challenges the stereotypes of people thinking girls can't do things.
I would use this book in my classroom to discuss women's rights and determination.
pickThis story was published in 2003 and is historical fiction. This book tells the story of a girl who didn't love all of the things a “normal“ girl should love back in the 1940's. She loved baseball instead but no one let girls play baseball. So, she made a league of her one and how she might have played for the first ever All-American Girls Professional Baseball League
