Women's Voices
 
by Ketanji Brown Jackson
Lovely One
With this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her family’s ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America’s highest court within the span of one generation.

The Witches
It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death.
 
As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, The Witches is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story—the first great American mystery unveiled.
 
by Cat Bohannon
Eve
A myth-busting, eye-opening landmark account of how humans evolved, offering a paradigm shift in our thinking about what the female body is, how it came to be, and how this evolution still shapes all our lives today.
 
by Irin Carmon
Notorious RBG
This runaway bestseller, brought to you by the attorney founder of the Notorious RBG Tumblr and an award-winning feminist journalist, is more than just a love letter. It draws on intimate access to Ginsburg's family members, close friends, colleagues, and clerks, as well as an interview with the Justice herself. An original hybrid of reported narrative, annotated dissents, rare archival photos and documents, and illustrations, the book tells a story of an unusual and transformative woman who transcended divides, championed social justice, and changed the world forever.
 
by Erica Armstrong Dunbar
Never Caught
While the Washingtons are often celebrated as icons of liberty and the founding of the United States, Never Caught reveals a more complicated legacy. When Ona Judge fled while the presidential household was in Philadelphia, the Washingtons launched a determined, years-long campaign to recapture her. Drawing on original letters, records, and archival material, Dunbar reconstructs Judge’s courageous journey to freedom and the relentless efforts to return her to bondage.
 
by Denise Kiernan
