The star turns a spotlight on these illuminating works

YOUR SILENCE WILL NOT PROTECT YOU AUDRE LORDE

“These essays on silencing—ranging from LGBTQ rights to women’s physical bodies to the erasure of black women’s stories—should be mandatory reading for anyone in need of a fresh perspective. (So, literally all of us.)”

TODAY I AM A BOOK XTX

“The very short stories in this collection pierce with potent language and unique style. xtx’s work not only draws you in with its raw offering, it holds you there, tight, never letting go. Never fading from your memory.”

WOMEN & POWER A MANIFESTO MARY BEARD

“When we talk about #Metoo and sexual misconduct, we’re not just talking about sex; we’re talking about power. Beard reveals the origins of these conversations, tracing the silencing of women back to the Roman Empire and beyond.”

THE BOOK OF LIGHT LUCILLE CLIFTON

“Clifton’s poems in this book give some of the most astounding imagery and emotional charge I’ve ever read in a poetry book. She’s the master of the single line, able to convey complex emotions and thoughts in a way that many cannot.”
