People say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but let’s face it: it’s hard not to be intrigued by some of these covers. It’s almost like they are begging you to pick them! And no one at Meriam Library sees more interesting covers than Paula. Here is this month’s Paula Pick!
Title: Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot
Author: Mikki Kendall
Why Paula Picked It: “The title grabbed me because of all that is going on right now with it being a key voting year, civil rights, inequity, and having the courage to take a stand. And it’s also the 100-year celebration of our 19th amendment. Plus it’s a NYT bestseller. Go for it”
