6.20 Future and Freedom in the 1970s

Last year, I embarked on a challenge to read a book published in every single year of the 20th Century. When I catalogued all the books from the 20th Century I’d already read, I found the 1970s to be the decade from which I had read the least. In this episode, I take you through my journey of reading books published in 1970, 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1978. For more links and resources, visit my website www.angourieslibrary.com Books I read to complete the challenge: 1978: Tirra Lirra by the River by Jessica Anderson 1974: Oreo by Fran Ross 1973: Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown 1976: Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy 1970: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume *** Black Lives Matter resources Pay the Rent Greenpeace Australia Pacific Greenpeace International   @angourierice / @the_community_library / our book!
