We March, Ann Flies


It's the last week for my Women's History Month books display ^ at work, which you can see part of, front and left. 
(But darn, even when I enlarged the photo, I can't recognize the book this shopper is reading the back of... She's in the fiction section is all I know.)

My displays rely on whatever books are donated,  of course, but I was very pleased that, while our books tend to be a bit dated, I've been able to present a decent spread, including, at the moment:

・Why We March: Signs of Protest and Hope--Voices from the Women's March [worldwide protests after Trump's inauguration, 2017]
・An Unfinished Woman, by Lillian Hellman

 ・Georgia O'Keeffe: One Hundred Flowers
