- 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. |
OMG, yes.
The Testaments! It was so good.
Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton.
The Body by Bill Bryson (as audiobook).
The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth by Phillip Pullman.
Mythos by Stephen Fry (as audiobook).
Becoming by Michelle Obama (as audiobook).
/I limited the list to those published this year, at least in the format I consumed them in.

The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern would be on this list, no doubt, but I am still waiting for my hold to come up at the library.
