The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry That Forged the Medieval World

The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry That Forged the Medieval World

Written by: Shelley Puhak
Recommended Age: Adults

In sixth-century Merovingian France, two very different women claimed power — and fought one another. Brunhild was married off to Sigebert I as part of an alliance, the culmination of a childhood where she was groomed to help her father cement political power. Fredegund was a low-born slave who caught the eye of Chilperic I, becoming his Queen Consort — and earning the ire of her sister-in-law. In a time when neither could officially be part of noble succession, each woman ruled and commanded... and fought a decades-long civil war against one another. After their deaths, their stories were turned into cautionary tales about the dangers of women in power. At long last, this compelling book by an award-winning author unveils the truth about each and captures a portrait of two women who defied expectation more than 1300 years ago.

Agatha Christie: An Elusive Woman

Agatha Christie: An Elusive Woman

Written by: Lucy Worsley
Recommended Age: Adults

Agatha Christie was known as the Queen of Mystery, but perhaps she was the greatest mystery of all. Despite her modern behavior and attitudes — surfing in Hawaii, driving fast cars, and writing scintillating stories inspired by the new science of psychology — she presented herself as a humble, retiring lady of leisure, once saying, "Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was." She also battled severe mental illness to become a worldwide success. Literary and cultural historian Lucy Worsley draws on personal letters and papers to create an authoritative biography of Christie and captures her true role as a pioneer for modern women.

Written by: Maggie Doyne
Recommended Age: Adults

Maggie Doyne grew up in a comfortable New Jersey family, who encouraged her to take a gap year to travel. She never expected a chance encounter on the trip would change her life forever.

Wise Gals: The Spies Who Built the CIA and Changed the Future of Espionage

Written by: Nathalia Holt
Recommended Age: Adults

After World War II, America knew it needed a new organization and new tactics for espionage — and four women were at the forefront of the development of what would become the CIA. Adelaide Hawkins, Mary Hutchison, Eloise Page, and Elizabeth Sudmeier — called the "wise gals" by their male colleagues — broke through the "male, pale, and Yale" boundaries to establish innovative techniques, demanding credit along the way. Throughout the Cold War, Hawkins developed cryptosystems to help spies communicate; Hutchison built partnerships and allies in Europe and Asia; Page risked her life in the Middle East, seeking information about Soviet weapons; and Sudmeier helped expose terrorist threats worldwide. Holt, author of Rise of the Rocket Girls, draws on meticulous research to create a thrilling and inspirational group biography that celebrates these security pioneers.

Empathy Economics: Janet Yellen’s Remarkable Rise to Power and Her Drive to Spread Prosperity to All

Empathy Economics: Janet Yellen’s Remarkable Rise to Power and Her Drive to Spread Prosperity to All

Written by: Owen Ullmann
Recommended Age: Adults

Janet Yellen grew up in Brooklyn, the daughter of a doctor whose "pay what you can" philosophy taught her the importance of caring for the people in need in your community. As she rose through the male-dominated ranks of economics, that lesson stuck with her, and she focused on how economic policy that benefits those low on the ladder also improves the prospects of the entire nation. She's been chair of the Federal Reserve and of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, and with President Biden's appointment to the role of secretary of the treasury, she became both the first person to hold all three top economic policy jobs in the US, and the first woman in the history of the office. In Owen Ullmann compelling portrait, we learn how the "Ruth Bader Ginsburg of economics" used her outsider's perspective to help us envision economics as a tool to help everyone.

Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships

Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships

Written by: Nina Totenberg
Recommended Age: Adults

Long before Nina Totenberg became a prizewinning reporter — and even longer before Ruth Bader Ginsburg became a Supreme Court justice — Nina and Ruth became the best of friends. It all started with Nina's phone call, asking Ruth to explain her legal brief arguing that a law that discriminated "on the basis of sex" was unconstitutional. Before long, the pair were meeting for regular dinners, sharing their love of opera and shopping, and supporting one another through both triumphs and heartache. Dinners with Ruth is Totenberg's story of their decades-long friendship: how they witnessed both big victories and frustratingly slow change in women's rights, and how their friendship sustained them through it all.

Written by: Damien Lewis
Recommended Age: Adults

When Josephine Baker was inducted into the French Panthéon, becoming the first Black woman included, those who knew her only for her entertainment career were perplexed. But the music-hall diva is a hero to the French people: when the Nazis captured her adopted city of Paris — her refuge from the racism she had faced in her home country of America — she was banned from the stage because of her race again... but vowed to stay and fight. Baker took advantage of her fame to become a capable and effective spy, using her tours as a cover for smuggling information across border and her fame to gain access to critical information. In this meticulously researched book, which draws on newly available material, bestselling author Damien Lewis captures a nuanced portrait of Baker that reveals her legendary place in history.

Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland's Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World

Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland's Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World

Written by: Eliza Reid
Recommended Age: Adults

For a dozen years, the World Economic Forum has listed Iceland as number one for countries closing the gender gap — but why? Eliza Reid, an immigrant from small-town Canada who unexpectedly found herself Iceland's First Lady, explores what has driven so much progress in her adopted country (and what they still have to do.) She looks at factors from historical role models to the Icelandic ideal of fairness to the legislation Iceland passed to level the playing field. Through interviews with sprakkar, or extraordinary women, and an eye for the cultural and historical factors that determine what a community considers "equal," Reid examines the lessons that Iceland has learned from its past — and how those lessons could help other countries find a more equitable future.

In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss

Written by: Amy Bloom
Recommended Age: Adults

Amy Bloom and her husband, Brian, had plans for their future — but then Brian seemed to change. He withdrew from both friendship and a job he loved, and he spoke mainly about the past. Eventually, the changes couldn't be ignored, and an MRI confirmed that Brian had Alzheimer's disease. Suddenly, the couple had to wrestle with how Brian wanted the end of his life to look... and together, they decided to go to Switzerland to work with Dignitas, an organization devoted to medical assistance in dying. In her poignant memoir, Bloom explores Brian's diagnosis, its effect on her marriage, and why we avoid talking about the inevitable end of the people we love — as well as the power of choosing your own path for your last days.

Switchboard Soldiers: A Novel

Switchboard Soldiers: A Novel

Written by: Jennifer Chiaverini
Recommended Age: Adults

When General John Pershing arrived in France to lead American forces in 1917, one of his first problems was communication: with so many troops in the field, operators needed to be fast, accurate even under fire, and fluent in French and English. In America, almost all trained telephone operators were women — and women were not allowed to enlist. But when the U.S. Army Signal Corps called for help, over 7,600 women responded, including Grace Baker, a switchboard instructor; Marie Miossec, an aspiring opera singer from France; and Valerie DeSmedt, Belgian-born and determined to do what she could for her native country. Male soldiers needed a minute to connect calls; the Switchboard Soldiers could do it in ten seconds. But as the war goes on, the women face many dangers, including the violence of war and a terrifying new disease: the Spanish flu. Best-selling author Jennifer Chiaverini captures a little-known true Great War story about the women who helped lead the Allies to victory — and broke gender barriers along the way.

What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

Written by: Stephanie Foo
Recommended Age: Adults

Stephanie Foo was a success story: she had overcome years of abuse and neglect by her parents, and become an award-winning radio producer with a loving partner. So why was she having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk? After years of searching, she was finally diagnosed with complex PTSD, a condition caused by continuous trauma rather than a single incident. But there wasn't much guidance to help someone like her — so she went looking. In this poignant memoir, Foo interviews psychologists, explores innovative therapies, and even investigates immigrant and generational trauma in her hometown. She realizes that there is no "cure" to be found, but that you can learn to move forward, even while the pain remains part of you. This is a stunning exploration of one woman's quest to reclaim her life — and learn to understand herself.

The Divorce Colony

How Women Revolutionized Marriage and Found Freedom on the American Frontier

Written by: April White
Recommended Age: Adults

In the late 19th century, the small town of Sioux Falls, South Dakota developed a scandalous reputation. It was easily accessible by rail, it offered a fine hotel... and the frontier state's laws allowed women to easily divorce.

In this compelling story, author and historian April White explores how Sioux Falls became the center of a national debate about marriage and women's rights. Through the stories of four famous women who came to Sioux Falls seeking divorces, she explores their determination to control their own lives — and how their fight helped change the lives of millions of American women.

In the Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage

Written by: Silvia Vasquez-Lavado
Recommended Age: Adults

When Silvia Vasquez-Lavado started mountain climbing, it was an outlet for pain she was concealing from everyone: although she had succeeded as a Latina in macho Silicon Valley, she was fighting alcoholism, concealing her sexuality, and repressing childhood abuse. The combination of risk and strength climbing offered helped her start her recovery — and she knew it could do the same for others. So when she decided to climb Everest, a dangerous climb even at the best of times, she also chose to bring a group of young female survivors and guide them to base camp. As she struggled with nerves about summiting, this newfound community also helped propel her forward — and all of them found moments of joy and healing. This powerful memoir celebrates personal heroism, the quest for adventure, and our ability to recover and move forward after even the worst tragedies.

Newsroom Confidential: Lessons (and Worries) from an Ink-Stained Life

Newsroom Confidential: Lessons (and Worries) from an Ink-Stained Life

Written by: Margaret Sullivan
Recommended Age: Adults

Margaret Sullivan has spent her career in what she calls the "reality-based press" — working her way up from summer intern at the Buffalo News to eventually become the first woman public editor of The New York Times, and then taking a role as media columnist for The Washington Post. In that time, she's seen just how competitive the newsroom can get (and how sexism adds an extra layer of challenge for women journalists.) She's also seen how that environment can lead to shoddy reporting, unethical practices, and more. She's stood up against controversies and she's kept an unflinching eye on the changes in American media — including the rise of Donald Trump and his disdain for "fake news." Newsroom Confidential is both a memoir of what it takes to bring journalism to the people and an incisive examination of what it will take for America to trust its news outlets again.

The Women of Rothschild: The Untold Story of the World's Most Famous Dynasty

The Women of Rothschild: The Untold Story of the World's Most Famous Dynasty

Written by: Natalie Livingstone
Recommended Age: Adults

The name "Rothschild" conjures up images of wealth, power, and privilege — but the women of the family have their own story to tell. They were outsiders both inside and outside the family: inside because of the Rothschilds' patriarchal attitudes, outside because they were Jews in a Christian-dominated society. But they found their own ways to seek power: they wined and dined the wealthy, advised the influential, and used their money to invest, while also advocating for social reform and sponsoring cutting edge artists. In this compelling book, Natalie Livingstone follows the Rothschilds from the early 1800s to the early 2000s, exploring the complicated lives and legacies of these remarkable women.

When Lindsey Vonn retired in 2019, she was the most decorated American skier of all time and an icon of women's sports, with a trophy case full of medals. But in her new, intimate memoir, Vonn acknowledges that these high achievements came at a cost. Her aggressive drive to push herself past her limits caused her multiple injuries — even as that same determination helped her overcome them — but she also faced a decades-long fight with depression and self-doubt.

When Lorraine Hansberry wrote A Raising in the Sun at the age of 28, she had no ideas that she would become the first Black woman to have a play performed on Broadway — or that her play would be listed one of the 100 most important works of her century. In this authoritative biography, Charles J. Shield unveils some of the little-known elements of Hansberry's life: her upper-class childhood, her activism for peace and her belief in Communism, and the role of her white husband, who was both her promoter and her best friend. Drawing on previously unpublished interviews and correspondence, Shield captures how the issues about class, sexuality, and race that Hansberry explored in her writing emerged from her own life, and creates a full portrait of a remarkable playwright and pioneer.

Written by: Maia Weinstock
Recommended Age: Adults

When Mildred Dresselhaus was a child in 1940s New York City, there were three career options for women: secretary, nurse, and teacher. She chose a fourth option: science. But it wasn't easy. Her family was desperately poor, and her first graduate advisor believed that educating women was a waste. However, Dresselhaus' brilliance and curiosity won her allies, including Nobel Prize–winning physicists Rosalyn Yalow and Enrico Fermi. She would go on to become one of MIT's first female professors, and her work on carbon forms like graphite, graphene, nanotubes, and buckyballs have changed fields ranging from electronics to aviation to medicine. Science writer Maia Weinstock has penned a loving tribute to this trailblazer for women in STEM and beloved educator, mentor, and colleague.

Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey

Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey

Written by: Florence Williams
Recommended Age: Adults

When journalist Florence Williams' marriage of 25 years broke up, she was shocked to discover that she wasn't just experiencing emotional pain: she was also physically sick.

On the way, she explored unexpected places — from neurogenomic research labs to divorce workshops to wilderness excursions — and discovered that what we believe will help a heartbroken person is often completely wrong. This compelling book, which uniquely combines scientific discovery and personal exploration, is a fascinating look at how our minds and bodies interact, and how love and its loss can affect both.

Written by: Erika Krouse
Recommended Age: Adults

As long as she can remember, people have confessed unexpected, personal things to Erika Krouse — so in 2002, the opportunity to work as a private investigator seemed natural, even if she had no idea how to do the job. When a lawyer assigns her to investigate the sexual assault of a college student who was attacked by football players, the case is personal for Erika: she's a sexual violence survivor herself. But she believes taking the case to court could help change things, so over five years, she honed her P.I. technique digging into a culture of sexual assault deeply ingrained in a college football program. When the story becomes a national scandal, though, Erika has to figure out how to prevent it from consuming her. Raw and compelling, this book — part true crime, part memoir — captures the turmoil of one woman in the midst of a landmark sexual assault investigation.

Bully Market: My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs

Bully Market: My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs

Written by: Jamie Fiore Higgins
Recommended Age: Adults

Jamie Fiore Higgins was determined to make it big, and when she won a position at Goldman Sachs, it seemed like that was exactly what she'd done. Goldman Sachs said all the right things about gender and racial equity, and seemed to have the statistics to prove it. But as she rose up the ranks, she saw the truth: the culture was deeply misogynistic and discriminatory, and she faced everything from bosses using racial epithets with no repercussions to coworkers moo-ing at her when she chose to pump milk for her child. In this revealing book, she tells both her own story and shines a light on the reality of these big money corporations and their exclusionary behavior. She also lays out a pathway for change, showing that a fairer workplace and a more just financial industry is possible — if we demand it.

Free: Coming of Age at the End of History

Free: Coming of Age at the End of History

Written by: Lea Ypi
Recommended Age: Adults

As an 11-year-old, Lea Ypi saw Albania's socialist regime fall — after years of trying to understand why comments from her radical father and anti-socialist mother about relatives going to university could be so dangerous. But the end of communism didn't bring utopia either; the transition to the "free market" caused chaos and brought everything from pyramid schemes to organized crime to her neighborhood. In this remarkable memoir, Ypi describes what it was like to watch the change from communism to capitalism unfold — and what she learned along the way from her free-thinking, intellectual family. Bold, invigorating, and thought provoking, her story will get readers contemplating the cost of freedom and the relationship between what we value and who we are.

The Story of Beatrix Potter: Her Enchanting Work and Surprising Life

The Story of Beatrix Potter: Her Enchanting Work and Surprising Life

Written by: Sarah Gristwood
Recommended Age: Adults

Beatrix Potter grew up in a wealthy home, where she had the opportunity to pursue her love of nature — she and her brother delighted in sketching the plants and animals they saw around them, and even kept many of them as pets! Her scientific observations and illustrations of fungi should have earned her respect as a mycologist, but instead she was disdained because she was female. Then, in 1893, she improvised a story about four little rabbits for a friend's son... and The Tale of Peter Rabbit was born. Potter's creations would delight generations of children — and enable her to protect the natural world that she loved. This stunning illustrated biography explores Potter's journey from a sheltered daughter to an astute businesswoman and early conservationist, providing a personal look at one of the English language's most beloved authors.

The Double Life of Katharine Clark

The Untold Story of the Fearless Journalist Who Risked Her Life for Truth and Justice

Written by: Katharine Gregorio
Recommended Age: Adults

When Katharine Clark became the first American woman wire reporter behind the Iron Curtain in 1955, she had no idea she'd change the face of the Cold War. She befriended Milovan Djilas in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, looking past the reasons he was supposed to be her enemy to recognize how he was questioning the Communist ideology he himself had helped establish. As she covered Polish protests and the Hungarian revolution, she also smuggled Djilas' anti-Communist manifesto, The New Class, past Yugoslavian secret police and into the hands of American publishers... where it would become a best-selling and be used by the CIA as part of a covert book program. Clark's great-niece, Katharine Gregorio, tells a high-stakes story of an independent woman behind enemy lines who risked her life to help truth come to light.

Recommended Age: Adults

After the end of World War II, the true potential in computers had come to light — and America knew that achieving technological supremacy was critical. American engineers created ENIAC, the first general-purpose, programmable, all-electronic computer; now they needed someone to operate it. Betty Holberton, Jean Jennings Bartik, Kay McNulty, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, Ruth Lichterman, and Frances Bilas Spence — today known as the ENIAC 6 — had to learn how to use this innovative machine, without instruction manuals, programming languages, or anything other than their knowledge of math and their own ingenuity. Author Kathy Kleimen met with four of the original ENIAC 6 for extensive interviews over a decade to create this powerful tribute to these nearly forgotten pioneers of the computer age.

A Hole in the World: Finding Hope in Rituals of Grief and Healing

Written by: Amanda Held Opelt
Recommended Age: Adults

Amanda Held Opelt was hit by multiple losses in quick succession, including three miscarriages and the tragic death of her sister, New York Times bestselling writer Rachel Held Evans. But despite a long history of faith, she didn't feel she had the tools to face the grief that suddenly surrounded her. In this poignant memoir, Opelt explores the mourning rituals that have been cast off as "old fashioned" in today's world which turns its face away from difficult moments. She discovers practices, from Irish keening to Victorian post-mortem photographs to the wearing of mourning clothing, that gave past generations a way to express their grief and receive comfort, both from the ritual and from their community. Both raw and hopeful, this is a powerful examination of how we understand loss... and how we heal.

Listen, World!

How the Intrepid Elsie Robinson Became America’s Most-Read Woman

Recommended Age: Adults

After a loveless marriage and a scandalous divorce in 1917, Elsie Robinson thought she might have to give up her lifelong dream of becoming a writer — she had a chronically ill child to care for and few people wanted to read a woman's writing, particularly opinion pieces. But after working in a gold mine to pay the bills, she moved to the Bay Area, where she went to the Oakland Tribune and demanded a chance to prove herself. She became a columnist, and in 1921, her column commenting on current events called "Listen, World!" became a national success! But even though she was once America's most-read woman, today few know her name. Bestselling author Julia Scheeres and award-winning journalist Allison Gilbert bring Robinson's daring personality to life in this biography that casts a spotlight on a pioneer of journalism.

How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for Our Future

Written by: Maria Ressa
Recommended Age: Adults

Maria Ressa knows the power of journalism — and she knows that telling the truth can put a target on your back. Her decades of activism and her incisive reporting once earned her praise, but when she critiqued the government in her homeland of the Philippines, she became the enemy of President Duterte and anyone who wanted to curry favor with him. But her story is not just a personal one: it's the story of how social media, which she used to increase voter knowledge and harness collective action with her innovative online news organization, Rappler, has also contributed to the worrisome rise of authoritarianism around the world... including in North America. In How to Stand Up to a Dictator, Ressa challenges her readers: don't take democracy for granted, demand to know who benefits from conflict, and ask yourself just how much you would give up for the truth.
