 she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idah
 o\, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peach
 es and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag." In the summer she stewe
 d herbs for her mother\, a midwife and healer\, and in the winter she salv
 aged in her father's junkyard. The family was so isolated from mainstream 
 society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education
 \, and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violen
 t. As a way out\, Tara began to educate herself\, learning enough mathemat
 ics and grammar to be admitted to Brigham Young University. Her quest for 
 knowledge would transform her\, taking her over oceans and across continen
 ts\, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd trav
 eled too far\, if there was still a way home. With the acute insight that 
 distinguishes all great writers\, Tara Westover has crafted a universal co
 ming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education offers: the 
 perspective to see one's life through new eyes\, and the will to change it
 .</p>\n<p>The&nbsp\;Steinem Sisters Collection&nbsp\;champions women&rsquo
 \;s historical\, cultural\, and political contributions and strives to pro
 vide a welcoming space for women from all walks of life to share their tru
 ths. It is composed of &ldquo\;feminist materials\,&rdquo\; intersectional
  works that uphold human and women&rsquo\;s rights and interests in defini
 ng and promoting political\, economic\, personal\, and social equality of 
 the sexes\, races\, classes\, sexual orientations\, and genders. The Stein
 em Sisters Collection has grown to over 900 titles in the ten years since 
 its inception. Regular programming\, including book discussion groups and 
 talking circles\, aims to highlight the collection and build community. Th
 is collection was made possible due to a generous donation by The Steinem&
 rsquo\;s Sisters Collective.</p>\nhttps://toledo.libnet.info/event/1254439
