An Email And A Problem

Timestamp: Early Sunday morning

SPECIAL NOTICE – RECOMMENDED READING ADDITIONS

Yesterday I added Career and Family: Women’s Century-Long Journey Toward Equality by: Claudia Goldin  and Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America by: Heather Cox Richardson to the Recommended Reading List.

Career and Family by Harvard faculty’s and recent Nobel Prize winner in Economic, Dr. Goldin, explores both the participation and compensation of women in America’s labor force over the last century or so.  It is must reading especially for young women starting with high school students.

In Democracy Awakening Dr. Richardson of Boston College’s faculty provides the most comprehensive, relevant and yet interesting American history lesson I have ever experienced.  In it she  warns of the danger of the extreme right wing and MAGA movement in today’s America.

Timestamp: Early Wednesday morning.

All of next week’s article will be “pre-recorded”. Since this is my last “live” article for a week what is a more fitting way to transition than to write a cleanup one?
