Susan Raffo | SOCIAL SCIENCES,  Sep 09, 2022

Visceral and readable without ever feeling too steeped in theory or jargon, Raffo’s accessible book helps show that roots matter more than what many see and that change is impossible without a real weeding, a structural dismantling of what people prefer to simply cover up or look away from.

Katie Hickman | HISTORY,  Sep 01, 2022

As easy to read as any Western with the added advantage of showing a new version of the Old West, one vital for readers to explore.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault | SOCIAL SCIENCES,  Sep 01, 2022

Hunter-Gault’s book makes it easy to revisit difficult historical moments and envision better choices, better outcomes, and better futures.

Ann Shen | HISTORY,  Aug 01, 2022

A much-needed book suitable for readers of all ages interested in learning how women have disrupted systems of oppression and how people can continue to build on their work.

Elissa Bassist | MEMOIR,  Jul 01, 2022

Disruptive, tender, and beautiful, this book is a reversal of women’s apologies and a demand for more.

Jeremiah Moss | SOCIAL SCIENCES,  Jul 01, 2022

Highly recommended, not just for queer readers or scholars of LGBTQIA+ culture but for anyone who has felt inexorably gutted and remade during the COVID pandemic.

Nona Willis Aronowitz | SOCIAL SCIENCES,  Jun 01, 2022

Aronowitz’s chatty tone and corpuscular language explodes myths in ways that will help readers clearly recognize the lies they’ve been fed. Highly recommended.
