Jean Darnell: Awaken Librarian

For #InternationalWomensDay, a Literary Hub author Jess Decourcy Hinds, selected librarians who inspire her...and I MADE THE LIST! 🥰 Truth be told, this mention lifted my day above the clouds. I overwork, overthink and overanalyze just about everything I interact with so much so that I deplete my energy reserves without regard to rest. But this...the title and all of my peers included within the article speaks to the fearlessness librarians and women MUST have to endure in this world led predominantly by those who want to silence us. Normally, I'm celebrating the accomplishments of women who inspired me for Women's History Month, but this time, the table's turned. I embrace the honor and present to you: "8 Badass Librarians We Need to Celebrate This International Women's Day"

Happy International Women's Day! I'm happy to participate and remind you of the suffrage plight of the phenomenal women of our planet! :) Here's a humorous and poignant video about the gender gap in pay courtesy of The Daily Mail : Here's your Vitamin G...for girl! Vitamin W sounds weird! And how inspirational is this tweet?
