Looking for a book to gift your feminist friend? Mrs. Everything is the story of two sisters, Jo and Beth Kaufman, growing up during the feminist revolution whose choices have far-reaching consequences. As their lives unfold, the women are constantly redefining what being a woman means within the culture they find themselves. This book broaches many feminist cornerstones from sexuality to abortion to rape to career expectations to marriage to parenting. This is the perfect gift for a woman who is exploring what it means to be a woman in today’s world. Read Mrs. Everything for a picture of how far we’ve come and the journey that lies ahead.
Good girl turned hippie Beth Kaufman eventually builds a jam business. A scrumptious jar of jam would be just the thing to pair with this book for a literary care package.
To the left, I’ve featured jam from American Spoon where the jam is made by hand in small-batch copper kettles in Michigan. You can order it by mail by clicking on the photograph.
In the book, tomboy turned suburban mom, Jo Kaufman eventually embarks on a career as a fitness instructor. In honor of this, I’ve chosen an exercise video called Strong for the third item to gift your favorite feminist. It is made by Zumba, but is not a dance class. This is a 60 minute video with two 20 minute bonus videos. A fun way to break up any fitness routine.
