This 2022 collection by Spanish journalist Begoña Gómez Urzaiz is hugely thought-provoking—and so well-written. Essays on famous women who put personal ambition/fulfillment ahead of motherhood; and on her guilty discomfort with their choice-mingled with guilty admiration. Timely and timeless.

I’m so enjoying Sebastian Smee’s fascinating book “Paris in Ruins”— which shows how war and the violent Paris insurrection of 1871 fueled the rise of Impressionism. It’s fun and personal (intertwining lives of Manet, Morisot, Degas &c). But it’s also movingly relevant to our present national moment.
