In recent months we had three exciting new books by Berkshire women hit the store!
Carol Gilligan’s Joining the Resistance builds on her previous works, providing autobiographical context to her discoveries of what it means to grow into womanhood and the misrepresentation of women in the prevailing theories of our society. By revisiting In a Different Voice, Meeting at the Crossroads, and other scholarly works through a new lens, Carol uncovers new revolutionary developments and demonstrates that the resistance marches on.
Carol Gilligan is one of the pre-eminent psychologists of our tome. Joining the Resistance is a leap forward in what has become her life-journey, connecting psychology to culture. The book stands on its own as a work of art; it is beautifully written and, like the best sort of novel, full of surprises.

The Cows, Lydia Davis’s daily mediation on the three cows that live across from her, is a charming, empathetic literary collection. Their daily activities are recorded with an understated wit and literary eye that will forever change how you look at cows.
Mary Moody’s first book, A Killing in Antiques, has captured the heart of two of the staff at The Bookloft. Rather than having me describe it, here’s what Linda has to say:
The drama includes Lucy’s family, collectors and transient folks all told in an intriguing story. Fun, excitement, and tips on collecting make this an engaging read!
