Ms. Magazine: June 2022 Reads for the Rest of Us

June 01, 2022

Part memoir, part cultural history, these memories of seven aunts holding home and family together tell a crucial, often overlooked story of women of the twentieth century

Ms. Magazine's Karla Strand writes:

This list includes 38 of my most anticipated books releasing this month. I know I am grateful for the work of the writers who gift us their remarkable thoughts, knowledge, ideas and worlds. They help me to forget about reality for a bit… or help me learn how to keep fighting it. 

Featured on the list is Seven Aunts by Staci Lola Drouillard:

In this unique and compelling memoir, Staci Lola Drouillard tells the stories of her seven aunts—Anishinaabe and European—whose strength, spirit and determination to thrive illustrate that of so many other overlooked women throughout history.
