10 books by women who are changing the world

sudshr47 November 17, 2018

If you keep up with Oprah’s Book Club — or at the very least, have been online recently — then you know Michelle Obama finally released her memoir, Becoming, on Nov. 13.

In it, the former first lady opens up in ways she never has before, revealing intimate details about marriage counseling, her miscarriage, and the reason why she’ll “never forgive” Donald Trump. Obama will undoubtedly continue these candid conversations in the coming weeks, as she travels across the country for her book tour.

She’s not the only woman trailblazer to share her story. In 2018 alone, we’ve heard from the cofounder of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors; journalist Asha Bandele; Sarah McBride, the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign; and Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first U.S. Olympian to wear a hijab while competing.

sudshr47 October 3, 2018

Brett Kavanaugh’s pal Mark Judge has been at the center of the debate over Kavanaugh’s fitness for service as a Supreme Court justice.

Now you can read Judge’s memoir Wasted, which briefly features a character named “Bart O’Kavanaugh” who many believe is a possible stand-in for the real Kavanaugh.

The 1997 book, which has been out of print for some time and is going for very high prices on secondary sales sites, was scanned and uploaded on Wednesday to the Internet Archive.

Mark Judge’s out-of-print, hard-to-get book “Wasted” is selling on Amazon for $1,949.99. But @internetarchive is currently scanning a copy of the book and will have the text available online shortly

sudshr47 August 2, 2018

Growing up, Lisa Brennan-Jobs felt that, to her father, Steve Jobs, she was a “blot on a spectacular ascent.”

The memories she shares in an excerpt from her new memoir, Small Fry, paint a complicated, but still tender, picture of the evolving relationship between restrained father, and desirous, at times estranged daughter.
