After reading about Ida Lupino in Therese Grisham & Julie Grossman's IDA LUPINO, DIRECTOR: HER ART & RESILIENCE, several of my students excitedly mentioned how Ida's stance on stardom made them think of Taylor Swift's "Clara Bow." I love when students make these types of connections!

Jezebel recommends @melissaludtke73.bsky.social's LOCKER ROOM TALK in their tribute to Gloria Steinem: "Steinem was an optimist, and Ludtke’s book illustrates her optimism and relentless Gloria-esque energy to fight the good fight. And, of course, she won."
These books by female sports writers reflect and grapple with the triumph of women in sports through the lens of Gloria Steinem www.jezebel.com/gloria-stein...

The subway often feels like another world.

Fred S. Naiden takes us back to the 1980s, when he worked as an MTA porter, motorman, and locomotive engineer.

Railroaded spotlights MTA worker activism & the fight against institutional racism, while offering practical solutions to fix the system today.

As Atlantic City formed into one of the largest tourist destinations, it loomed ever larger in the imaginations of American writers.

This collection transports us inside the bright lights while describing the complex history of political corruption, racial discrimination, & urban decay.

We remember Gloria Steinem—feminist writer, activist, media spokeswoman, and lecturer.

Read a brief history of Steinem’s rise to prominence—from humble beginnings and in spite of a male dominated society.
