This book is a great overview of the fight for reproductive rights in the United States (and outside of the US prior to the Puritans coming over.) It traces how it became criminalized, the lead-up to Roe v. Wade, and then the cases that have limited its power since then. I think it's good to have in any library.

I vaguely remember it being Western-focused in that beginning time, and European focused in terms of the early settlers. Also, it does use very binary gender language, although there is an acknowledgement late in the book that non-binary and trans people have reproductive rights as well.

A quick overview of Marie Antoinette's life. I like that it dispels some myths about her.

I loved it, as usual with her work. I don't have children of my own, but it definitely reminded me of things my friends have said about their children.

Loosely based on the author's childhood, this is Knisley's first foray into middle grade graphic novels. I think it will be very popular, as it is realistic fiction and deal with what happens when a family divorces. I agree with some reviewers that the Walter character is very harsh, and I didn't like how he treated Jen. As an adult, I definitely read that as well that's how he was and it wasn't great, but she did have some support. As a child, I might not get that. He does get apologized for a lot, which I didn't notice while reading. Still, I think it's worth reading for the sisters relationship.

An overview of a bunch of different women. A good launching point to learn about further women.

Definitely want to explore this book more. Everything looked delicious!

Finally cooked my way through it. There are better cookbooks. Glad my husband and I survived.

So cute! You think you want a unicorn? Think again!

Very cute, and you better call the baby by her correct name.
