Molly McClain tells the remarkable story of Ellen Browning Scripps (1836-1932), an American newspaperwoman, feminist, suffragist, abolitionist, and social reformer. She used her fortune to support women's education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education.

Born in London, Scripps grew up in rural poverty on the Illinois prairie. She went from rags to riches, living out that cherished American story in which people pull themselves up by their bootstraps with audacity, hard work, and luck. She and her brother, E. W. Scripps, built America's largest chain of newspapers, linking midwestern industrial cities with booming towns in the West. Less well known today than the papers started by Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, Scripps newspapers transformed their owners into millionaires almost overnight.

By the 1920s Scripps was worth an estimated $30 million, most of which she gave away. She established the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, and appeared on the cover of Time magazine after founding Scripps College in Claremont, California. She also provided major financial support to organizations worldwide that promised to advance democratic principles and public education.

In Ellen Browning Scripps, McClain brings to life an extraordinary woman who played a vital role in the history of women, California, and the American West.Purchase the audio edition.

This worked when nothing else did
I never had eczema in my life until perimenopause decided to surprise me with it. It was so bad I genuinely thought I was having an allergic reaction to something. Went to the doctor, did two rounds of prescription steroid creams, tried pretty much everything over the counter I could find. Nothing fully knocked it out. Started using this every night before bed and my skin was cleared up in less than two weeks. Two weeks. After months of dealing with it and throwing everything at it, this is what finally did it. It goes on smooth, doesn’t sting on irritated skin, and there’s no fragrance which matters when your skin is already angry. It’s thick enough to feel like it’s actually doing something without being greasy or gross on your sheets. If you’re dealing with eczema for the first time and you’re frustrated because nothing is working — I was you. Try this before you spend another copay on a dermatologist visit.

Best moisturizers for extremely dry, flaky skin.
I do not have eczema, but I have itchy, very dry, flaky skin and no moisturizer has helped. My neighbor, who has eczema, recommended I try this, and it works perfectly for me! It's the only moisturizer that has worked. I LOVE it!

Super effective!
Amazing product! Life changing! I used to use Gold Bond Intense Itch Relief and I had to constantly reapply it because I continued to get itchy legs. This product is amazing though! I apply a nice layer of it to my legs right after I shower and I am finally able to get a good night's rest without feeling itchy. It does make my lega super sticky but I'd rather have this feeling than that crazy, uncontrollable Itch!

Here’s what I loved about them: Quality and Material: The silicone material is soft, durable, and completely safe for baby food. It’s BPA-free, and I feel confident knowing it’s safe for my little one. The containers are flexible yet sturdy, making it easy to pop out frozen food without any hassle. Portion Size: The portions are just the right size for baby meals, making it super convenient to prep food in advance. Whether it’s purees, snacks, or small servings of fruits, these containers hold the perfect amount. Ease of Use: The lids fit securely, preventing any leaks or spills, even when traveling. They’re also microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe, which makes cleaning and reheating a breeze. Design: The stackable design saves space in my fridge and freezer. The vibrant colors add a fun touch, and the soft silicone ensures no sharp edges, which is great when my baby grabs them during feeding time. Overall Value: This set is an excellent investment for busy parents. It has made meal prep so much easier while ensuring my baby gets healthy, homemade food. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Highly recommend this product to parents looking for safe, convenient, and durable food storage for their babies!
