Molly McClain tells the remarkable story of Ellen Browning Scripps (1836-1932), an American newspaperwoman, feminist, suffragist, abolitionist, and social reformer. She used her fortune to support women's education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education.
Born in London, Scripps grew up in rural poverty on the Illinois prairie. She went from rags to riches, living out that cherished American story in which people pull themselves up by their bootstraps with audacity, hard work, and luck. She and her brother, E. W. Scripps, built America's largest chain of newspapers, linking midwestern industrial cities with booming towns in the West. Less well known today than the papers started by Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, Scripps newspapers transformed their owners into millionaires almost overnight. By the 1920s Scripps was worth an estimated $30 million, most of which she gave away. She established the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, and appeared on the cover of Time magazine after founding Scripps College in Claremont, California. She also provided major financial support to organizations worldwide that promised to advance democratic principles and public education. In Ellen Browning Scripps, McClain brings to life an extraordinary woman who played a vital role in the history of women, California, and the American West.Purchase the audio edition.Binding Type: Hardcover

Very Well Made
The Hiware Bamboo Heavy Duty Chopping/Cutting Boards Set is a popular kitchen accessory that offers a practical and eco-friendly solution for chopping, cutting, and slicing various ingredients. Here is a review of the product:
1. Design and Construction:
The set includes four extra-large cutting boards made from high-quality bamboo, which is known for its durability and natural resistance to water and bacteria. The boards are pre-oiled, which helps to enhance their lifespan and maintains their appearance. The thickness and sturdy construction make them suitable for heavy-duty use in both residential and commercial kitchens.
2. Size and Versatility:
The extra-large size of these cutting boards provides ample space for cutting large quantities of meat, vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients. Additionally, the set includes different-sized boards, allowing you to choose the one that suits your specific needs. The boards can also double as serving platters due to their attractive design.

Good quality, if you keep them oiled last a long time
If you keep these oiled and do not soak them, these boards last a long time. Good variety of sizes, durable (I use the larger 2 daily), and again, if you keep them oiled, easy to wipe down and haven't shown a sign of splitting. Durable as well. Would buy again.
