Thanks for joining me for Mailbox Monday, a weekly "show & tell" blog event where participants share the books they acquired the week before. Visit the Mailbox Monday website to find links to all the participants' posts and read more about Books that Caught our Eye.
Mailbox Monday is graciously hosted by Leslie of Under My Apple Tree, Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit, and Martha of Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf.
To have been a female journalist back in the 1930s, must have been some achievement and I can imagine, that whilst this book probably isn't one for me, it is going to be ultra interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteI like the way that Heather's book is an exact replica cover image of her grandmothers and I wonder if you are hoping to read this one also?
It would be good to know what you think about the stories of these two remarkable women.
Have a good week :)
