Isabel Richards#DYK books by women are, on average, priced 45% lower than #books by men, and also sell significantly less (unless they write under a male pseudonym 🤯). A super simple & practical thing you can do to support women this #IWD is purchase a book by a #femaleauthor, fiction or non-fiction! 📚📚 And esp. if you’re a man - men still read male authors much more than female ones, regardless of genre… whereas women read both male & female authors equally.

Sci_Burst@1sabelR wants to spotlight two of her fav things in the lead up to International Women’s Day! Her fav ep of #Sci_Burst is 3: The Limit Does Not Exist as she likes discussing #TeenMedia that is so often discarded when it’s a formative part of how we transition into adulthood! She also wants to share a recent read of hers by a #FemaleAuthor. “The Authority Gap” is a great book that ends with practical lists that everyone can action to help improve #GenderEquality. #IWD24 #CountHerIn #WomenInStem
Claudia Hall Christian"I would be a liar, a hypocrite, or a fool -- and I'm not any of those -- to say that I don't write for the reader. But for the reader who hears, who really will work at it, going behind what I seem to say. So, I write for myself and that reader who will pay the dues." Maya Angelou

"The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart." Maya Angelou

Christina DongowskiLucy Scoles is such a great literary critic / essayist, she makes you want to immediately read the novels she writes about. I loved this little portrait of Elizabeth Mavor (of whom I've never heard before) and her novels of #queer love among women.

Scott McGerikI'm reading "Mad Honey" by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan as part of my effort to expose myself to more women authors. In a conversation on Mastodon, I realized I was missing out on good authors.
It isn't because I am adverse or opposed to women authors. Rather it is because I am not gettng recommendations for women authors.
After asking for recommendations, I got a dozen. I have plenty of good reading ahead of me!
Ola's Kool KitchenThis is an awesome book, The Eighth Life (for Brilka) by #NinoHaratischvili
An epic family saga beginning with the Russian Revolution and swirling across a century, encompassing war, loss, love requited and unrequited, ghosts, joy, massacres, tragedy. And hot chocolate.
