Now for the books I read that were published in 2019:
  • March Sisters: On Life, Death and Little Women by Kate Bolick et al.
  • Culture in Nazi Germany by Michael H. Kater
  • The Five by Hallie Rubenhold
  • Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant by Anne Gardiner Perkins
  • They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers
  • The Life and Loves of Edith Nesbit: Victorian Iconoclast by Eleanor Fitzsimmons
  • The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

It's noteworthy to me that six of the seven books could be loosely categorized as dealing with women's issues. In addition to The Five, standouts were Yale Needs Women and They Were Her Property but I could recommend them all with the exception of The Testaments, which made my ten-worst list.
