Jesse Stuart is a fantastic writer of moral stories for youth. My daughter and I enjoyed reading and
discussing A Penny’s Worth of Character, which is a simple but lovely story about honesty. I love the

medium print and full-page black-and-white illustrations every few pages.

In the early days of cinema, women were often cast in stereotypical roles, such as the damsel in distress. As the industry matured, older women were frequently relegated to two primary archetypes: A New Standard of Visibility This isn't just
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut starring Olivia Colman broke a sacred Hollywood rule: Mothers can be ambivalent. Colman plays Leda, a middle-aged professor who, on vacation, admits she abandoned her children for a period of time. The film refuses to judge her. It treats her selfishness, her intelligence, and her loneliness as valid, adult emotions. It is a thriller of the soul.
