Let Them Eat Tweets: How the Right Rules in an Age of Extreme Inequality
Jacob S. Hacker
Seeing a lot of pieces/hot takes on the Texas ban missing crucial historical context. Look to @Jacob_S_Hacker and Paul Pierson's LET THEM EAT TWEETS to better understand how abortion became weaponized by the right.

A Life of One's Own: Nine Women Writers Begin Again
Joanna Biggs

Inventing the It Girl: How Elinor Glyn Created the Modern Romance and Conquered Early Hollywood
Hilary A. Hallett
Loving this review of @hah2117's INVENTING THE IT GIRL in @WSJBooks! "Hallett gracefully restores Glyn’s dignity, defines her intelligence and tells the full story of her remarkable life. She makes Elinor Glyn matter." https://t.co/9PQgBQhNVP

The Heroine with 1001 Faces
Maria Tatar
A very happy pub day to Maria Tatar's THE HEROINE WITH 1001 FACES, a sorely-needed answer to Joseph Campbell's work that explores the long-buried history of heroines and the power of women's speech. Come for the myths, stay for the analyses of Lisbeth Salander and Hannah Horvath.
