Thank you to everyone who joined in April for the inaugural Book Club discussion, where we read Stories from Suffragette City, edited by M.J. Rose and Fiona Davis.

 Our selection for July is The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton.

Description from Wikipedia.com:

The book was released on October 1, 2019, and includes portraits of "gutsy women" including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Mary Ritter Beard, Harriet Tubman, Edith Windsor, and Malala Yousafzai. In many cases the authors describe how the subjects influenced their lives and, in some cases, how they met them. In explaining their motivation to write the book, the authors say, "If history shows one thing, it's that the world needs gutsy women. So, in the moments when the long haul seems awfully long, we hope you will draw strength from these stories. We do. Hillary Clinton added, "This book is a continuation of a conversation Chelsea and I have been having since she was a little girl, and we are excited to welcome others into that conversation."

The book is available through various sources, including

• Melcat interlibrary loan system
