Item Description
Borrowed Names: Poems About Laura Ingalls Wilder, Madam C.J. Walker, Marie Curie, and Their Daughters, by Jeannine Atkins. Includes a personalized, signed bookplate from the author.
From Macmillan: As a child, Laura Ingalls Wilder traveled across the prairie in a covered wagon. Her daughter, Rose, thought those stories might make a good book, and the two created the beloved Little House series.
Sara Breedlove, the daughter of former slaves, wanted everything to be different for her own daughter, A Lelia. Together they built a million-dollar beauty empire for women of color.
Marie Curie became the first person in history to win two Nobel prizes in science. Inspired by her mother, Ir ne too became a scientist and Nobel prize winner.
Borrowed Names is the story of these extraordinary mothers and daughters.
In vivid scenes written with keen insight and subtle imagery, the poems offer a strong sense of each daughter's personality as well as the tensions and ties they shared with their notable mothers. Writing with understated drama and quiet power, Atkins enables readers to understand these six women and their mother-daughter relationships in a nuanced and memorable way. Booklist, starred review
