Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant
by Anne Gardiner Perkins
Hard to finish (10/17/2019)
Even though I enjoyed all of the information provided in this book, I found it difficult to continue reading I attended a historically male state supported universita that had allowed women to attend as freshmen only 5 years before I began. Luckily I did not encounter any of the sexism that was so prevalent at Yale.
Ellie and the Harpmaker
by Hazel Prior
Interesting and Impressive Debut Novel (4/28/2019)
Dan views the world by those things that are important to him: numbers, nature and harps. Ellie is enchanted with his simpler, yet profound statements about life. You will love Dan's "nature" and "number" language. I laughed and cried as I read this interesting book.
