What would a just and parent-friendly/supporting society look like? Does one exist? One with common ground problem-solving, systemic re-visioning? Denmark, Sweden Iceland, Finland come galaxies closer than America, even though not perfect. Vote for living wages, non-stigmatized abortion access and paid parental leave!
I just finally got around to Body Full of Stars and wowza. So good. Thank you for recommending it. I may do an entire post about it, or at least include it in my recap of the best books I read this year.
I didn't expect a Betsy/Tacy reference today. I loved the books because the 1980's didn't offer up "Betsy" pins, bicycle license plates, and wrapping paper.

Agreed that those three things are so essential to helping us get to equality. Thanks for your support!
Thx for this great list with so many wonderful quotes! The exerpts alone are a worthwhile read.
As a huge reader, I really appreciated this email. Adding a bunch of these to my list. I would also recommend Body Full of Stars by Molly Caro May.

Thank you! And can't wait to read your recommendation!
A very thoughtful, helpful list of books for women!

i just did a "mother" newsletter post! https://therollingladder.substack.com/p/mother
highlighted: School for Good Mothers (so fucking good), I'm Glad my Mom Died, Tom Lake and Bad Fruit.
I enjoy your posts! I get a lot of hope from the organizing that's happening, especially on the repro justice front, all over the country.
