Commute: An Illustrated Memoir of Female Shame by Erin Williams

3.0

I read this as the first book after a long while of not reading much during my remote teaching due to COVID. To me the most interesting part was learning of the author's return to school and development of a new interior world with an interest in cancer biology. I have a lot of feelings about how I did/did not get to know my students this semester due to remote setting and my own failings, and this was simply a good reminder to not have preconceived notions of where my students are coming from. I didn't agree with some of the global statements as the book wrapped up, but that really doesn't matter. It was interesting to hear how the author's interest in storytelling and drawing also happened later in life. There is a great illustration of a breast pump.
