    Stacy Lynn, "Loving Lincoln: A Personal History of the Women Who Shaped Lincoln's Life and Legacy" (Southern Illinois UP, 2025)
    2025/06/15
    Abraham Lincoln belongs to everybody. The women he interacted with helped forge the outstanding moral character of America's greatest president. Loving Lincoln: A Personal History of the Women Who Shaped Lincoln's Life and Legacy (Southern Illinois University Press, 2025) features thirty historical and personal essays, and within them, the stories of more than ninety women, each with their own mini biographies in an appendix. Among them are Lincoln's friends, clients, and extended family, as well as writers, artists, and--blurring the lines between history and memoir--author Stacy Lynn herself. As a professional Lincoln scholar and editor, Lynn was often frustrated that male historians often overlooked Lincoln's love for and friendship with women. Here, she posits a new paradigm--one that, instead of downplaying women, lifts up their interactions with Lincoln. Lincoln understood the importance of the women in his life, and he put women's wellbeing at the center of his personal, professional, and political ethos. He was loved by two strong pioneer mothers as well as sisters, friends, nieces, friends' daughters, and his wife. He served women clients during his long legal career. As president, he met with women, dedicating time to hear their concerns despite the burdens of office. He replied to letters women wrote him. He believed in their capabilities and revolutionized the role of women in the workforce. After Lincoln's death, women continued to shape his legacy. Mary Lincoln ensured his burial among friends, artist Vinnie Ream sculpted his statue in the US Capitol, and biographer Ida Tarbell provided a nuanced portrayal of his life. Harriet Monroe and Ruth Painter Randall further cemented his place in literature and history. Lynn presents a fresh perspective on Lincoln, connecting his story to the stories of women and showcasing his kindness, sensitivity, and moral center. She explores how women shaped Lincoln's inspirational legacy and pays homage to all the women who gave Lincoln to the world. Lynn's unique blending of history, biography, and her own story reveals the ways in which an emotional connection to the historical figures one studies opens the door to richer human and historical understanding. By inviting readers to feel the past as well as read it, Lynn demonstrates that history matters most when it engages our minds and hearts. Stacy Lynn edited Abraham Lincoln's papers for twenty-five years. She is the author or editor of four books, including Mary Lincoln: Southern Girl, Northern Woman. She is associate editor of the Jane Addams Papers. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Joan C. Williams, "Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back" (St. Martin's Press, 2025)

    Joan C. Williams, "Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back" (St. Martin's Press, 2025)
    2025/06/14
    An eye-opening, urgent call to mend the broken relationship between college and non-college grads of all races that is driving politics to the far right in the US.Is there a single change that could simultaneously protect democracy, spur progress on climate change, enact sane gun policies, and improve our response to the next pandemic? Yes: changing the class dynamics driving American politics.The far right manipulates class anger to undercut progressive goals and liberals often inadvertently play into their hands. In Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back (St. Martin's Press, 2025), Joan C. Williams explains how to reverse that process by bridging the “diploma divide”, while maintaining core progressive values. She offers college-educated Americans insights into how their values reflect their lives and their lives reflect their privilege. With illuminating stories —from the Portuguese admiral who led that country’s COVID response to the lawyer who led the ACLU’s gay marriage response (and more)— Williams demonstrates how working-class values reflect working-class lives. Then she explains how the far right connects culturally with the working-class, deftly manipulating racism and masculine anxieties to deflect attention from the ways far-right policies produce the economic conditions disadvantaging the working-class. Whether you are a concerned citizen committed to saving democracy or a politician or social justice warrior in need of messaging advice, Outclassed offers concrete guidance on how liberals can forge a multi-racial cross-class coalition capable of delivering on progressive goals.

  • Susan Shapiro Barash, "Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended Or Ended" (Meridian Editions, 2025)

    Susan Shapiro Barash, "Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended Or Ended" (Meridian Editions, 2025)
    2025/06/13
    When life gets hard, we turn to our female friends. Husbands, partners, and jobs come and go, but close friendships are our bedrock. Until they're not. What happens when these bonds sabotage instead of support? Who among us has the courage to walk away? And how can we protect ourselves from further heartbreak? In Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended Or Ended (Meridian Editions, 2025) Susan Shapiro Barash takes a deep dive into the complexities of female friendships. By peeling back the societal narrative that our friendships are meant to last forever, she uncovers a more nuanced reality: the closest bonds do falter. Through groundbreaking research and 150 interviews with women ranging in age from 20-80, Barash reveals an emerging trend - estrangement among female friends. Estranged is an eye-opening investigation/practical guide for women navigating murky waters of suboptimal friendships. The book sheds light on unspoken pain of estrangement - both for the "estranger" who walks away and the "estrangee" who is left behind. Amid candid confessions of betrayal and grief, Barash challenges women to reimagine their friendships and take the bold step of letting go when necessary. This cutting-edge book offers an empowering path forward: learning to prioritize self-worth, stability and authenticity over loyalty to friendships that no longer serve us. Susan Shapiro Barash has written more than a dozen nonfiction books including Tripping the Prom Queen, Toxic Friends and You're Grounded Forever, but First Let's Go Shopping. For more than 20 years she taught gender studies and Marymount Manhattan College and has guest taught creative nonfiction at the Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College. Her fiction is published under her pen name, Susannah Marren. Deidre Tyler, PhD - Sociologist, Instructional Technologist. Learn more about your ad choices.
