Persist

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren’s book “Persist” is out this week. And I reviewed it. The book is......fine. The book is fine. It’s a policy primer (of course) and a Dem lovefest (one person excepted), and contains a rage-inducing (and slightly baffling) MeToo story. https://t.co/hMGWIEmGKj

Kate Manne

Today in coming to various books late… “Entitled” by @kate_manne is just brain-melting. Such a simple and clear dive into misogyny and where/how we encounter it.
