Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her career fighting for gender equality and more inclusive "perfect union." 

Baldwin was my professor, mentor, and academic advisor, and remains a significant influence on who I am. My family thought I was crazy to pursue a fine art degree. They (and I) didn't realize how much I would learn about history, psychology, philosophy, humanity, and living. Baldwin's work reflects all these dimensions and more. Caught in his still images are glimpses of lives lived, statements about society, beautiful compositions, and scenes that leave the viewer in awe while sometimes making us uncomfortable. I can't think of anything that more fully embodies the depth of human experience than these dynamics. And yet, the interview at the end of this book transports me back to undergrad, sitting in Baldwin's class, and I realize that I still have more to learn about life.

This book captures how design and information are in inextricable linked.

I chose Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza by Gloria Anzaldua because it is a groundbreaking text that redefines the boundaries of identity, language, and belonging. Anzaldua's hybrid form - melding poetry, theory, autobiography, and myth - embodies the very borderlands she describes, insisting that knowledge and selfhood are created in dynamic, liminal spaces. This book continues to shape the fields of feminist theory, queer studies, Chicanx literature, and beyond, offering readers a radical vision of how we might live and write from multiplicity, resistance, and transformation, and, importantly, it destabilizes lines of demarcation (borders) that arbitrarily separate one person from another.

By showing how our behavior is affected by so many factors, some even dating back thousands of years, it works both ways in judging ourselves and others. Knowing that someone's bad behavior is not their fault, we tend to forgive them, at least passing the initial reactionary phase. It also makes us twice to give too much credit to someone for their achievements.
