Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough

Joy McCullough produces a searing blend of poetry and prose in her tale of Artemesia Gentileschi, a Roman artist who lived in the early 1600’s.

We Should All Be Feminists
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

At a mere 64 pages, this book might seem like a lightweight, but it is nothing of the sort. It is in fact, a book that should be read by all adults in our culture, particularly all men. I don’t say this lightly. There is nothing new or groundbreaking about the information or the message …

The Mother of All Questions

The Mother of All Questions by Rebecca Solnit

In her companion to Men Explain Things to Me, Solnit gives us another eloquent, penetrating book on feminism and patriarchy. Her short essays cover substantial territory, tracing gender boundaries to their origins, yet there is an optimism here that gives this book a propulsive energy. A must-read. –Renee P., Powells.com, Portland, OR Whether for a …
