And So For My
Wedding, All the
World Came
by Jennifer Spadaccia
When my dear friend Ava asked me to participate in a writing exercise for one of her classes at Harvard, I was initially thrilled. I had been out of school for nearly a year at that point, and I missed the writing and my assignments.

Controlling Women
by Kathryn Kolbert & julie F. Kay
I first read this book a year before Roe V. Wade was tragically overturned. In devastating irony, the authors not only foreshadow, but also warn their readers of the inevitable return to a post Roe world where women’s lives are no longer their own. An important and imperative read for all Americans who care about an equitable future free from the deadly confines of patriarchy.
My Brilliant Friend
by elena ferrante
Elena Ferrante’s four part series begins with two best friends akin to sisters. While living in post war Italy, Elena and Lina are determined to grow through a world of violence and disparity in an impoverished Naples neighborhood. The complexity of their relationship coupled with the unreliability of Elena’s narration, lay the foundation for this survival tale of women determined to make a name and life for themselves in a male dominated system.
River King
