Hitting a straight lick with a crooked stick : stories from the Harlem Renaissance / by Hurston, Zora Neale,author.; West, Genevieve,editor,writer of introduction.; Jones, Tayari,writer of foreword.; Hurston, Zora Neale.John Redding goes to sea.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Conversion of Sam.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Bit of our Harlem.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Drenched in light.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Spunk.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Magnolia flower.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Black death.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Bone of contention.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Muttsy.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Sweat.; Hurston, Zora Neale.Short stories.Selections.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-250).In 1925, Barnard student Zora Neale Hurston-- the sole black student at the college-- was living in New York, "desperately striving for a toe-hold on the world." During this period, she began writing short works that captured the zeitgeist of African American life and transformed her into one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Nearly a century later, this singular talent is recognized as one of the most influential and revered American artists of the modern period. Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick is an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration, gender and class, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African American folk culture. Brought together for the first time in one volume, they include eight of Hurston's "lost" Harlem stories, which were found in forgotten periodicals and archives. These stories challenge conceptions of Hurston as an author of rural fiction and include gems that flash with her biting, satiric humor, as well as more serious tales reflective of the cultural currents of Hurston's world. All are timeless classics that enrich our understanding and appreciation of this exceptional writer's voice and her contributions to America's literary traditions.

Blood : the science, medicine, and mythology of menstruation / by Gunter, Jen,author.;
Most of us know about as much about how the uterus and ovaries function as we do about how the liver works. Add in societal shame around the menstrual cycle, and it's not surprising that misinformation is widespread. But, as women's health advocate and trusted OB-GYN Dr. Jen Gunter writes, "you don't have to think about your liver 5 days a month for 30 years, so I'd argue people should know more about the uterus." Enter Blood, the galvanizing new book dispels the shame, mythology, and misinformation around menstruation with scientific facts, medical expertise, and a fierce feminist perspective. Surprising, funny, and fact-filled, Blood is an essential and empowering resource from the doctor who, in the words of Dr. Lori Brotto, Canada Research Chair in Women's Sexual Health, "takes the mystery out of women's health and replaces it with evidence-informed concrete recommendations."
