The Book Club for Troublesome Women

By Marie Bostwick

“Margaret Ryan didn’t intend to form a book club or spark a feminist movement in her conservative suburb.” Set in the 1960s, as Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique emerges, this book offers an interesting look back at the status (or non-status) of women in the 60s as four women find sisterhood and he courage to face their past, learn how to navigate in a quickly changing world, and help pave the way for the women of today.

Buckeye Legends, Folktales and Lore From Ohio

By Michael Jay Katz

A collection of stories about Ohio including “The Zanesville earthquakes,” “Rattlesnake mound,” “The Corpse that wouldn’t bleed,” and “The headless horseman of Cherry Hill.”. In a story about the Erie Canal, the author claims that the Chagrin River and Chagrin Falls was founded and named by Moses Cleaveland. “The real story is that he named it Chagrin because he was disappointed that the river he’d come upon—the Chagrin River—still wasn’t his final destination, the Cuyahoga River.”
