Jill Ker Conway, author of one of the most celebrated memoirs of recent decades, is also the premier anthologist of women's autobiographical writing. In Her Own Words is Conway's distillation of women's experience from the British Commonwealth world she came from, compared with major themes in women's lives in the United States, which is now her home.

In this dazzling collection, we meet twelve remarkable women--from Shirley Chisholm, the West Indian-raised girl who became the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress, to Janet Frame, the brilliant New Zealand writer who overcame involuntary treatment in a mental institution to write one of the archetypal analyses of the postcolonial experience. We learn how the world of politics and the private self intersect in the four offshoots of the old British world, and see how these women have made a difference--by their honesty, by the scale of their struggle for self-knowledge and autonomy, and by the power of their writing.

Includes writing from:

Patricia Adam-Smith Lillian Hellman
Rosemary Brown Dorothy Hewett
Kim Chernin Robin Hyde
Shirley Chisholm Dorothy Livesay
Lauris Edmond Sally Morgan
Janet Frame Gabrielle Roy

Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick - Gentle Protection for Little On
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I purchased the Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 & Zinc Oxide for both of my grandbabies, and it has been a wonderful addition to our sun protection routine. The sunscreen stick is easy to apply, especially on squirmy little ones, and provides effective broad-spectrum protection. One of the things I love most about this sunscreen is that it's formulated with zinc oxide, which is gentle on their delicate skin. I also appreciate that it's free of fragrances, parabens, and other harsh chemicals, making it suitable for their sensitive skin. The compact size of the sunscreen stick makes it convenient to carry in a diaper bag or purse, ensuring that we always have sun protection on hand when we're out and about. Plus, the stick form makes it easy to apply precisely, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Overall, I highly recommend the Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick to parents and grandparents looking for a gentle yet effective sunscreen for their little ones. It's become a staple in our outdoor adventures, and I'm sure it will be in yours too.

So much easier to apply
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 2)
These are small for the price but man oh man does it make it easier! My daughter is allergic to most sunscreens so this is our go to kind however I hate how hard it is to get off of your hands after using the lotion form. This is so much neater and it doesn't get all over me. It also doesn't seem to stain the suits - or is just easier to avoid getting on suits - than the lotion form. It does the same great job of preventing sunburn. Makes reapplication so much better because you don't end up with sand all over you - since you couldn't rinse off the lotion the first time around.
