It’ll be hard to say goodbye to the current exhibition *Ok, I’ll Do It Myself: Narratives of Intrepid Women in the American Wilderness* next week, but there’s another compelling show on the horizon—the exhibition of our Gotham Book Mart collection next year. In the mean time, take a look this article on Penn Today about *Ok, I’ll Do It Myself* and the incredible women who made it possible. http://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/she-did-it-herself Pictured here is some of the Nellie Bly board game, *Round the World*. * * * #kislakcenter #pennlibraries #penntoday #nelliebly #boardgame #vintageboardgame #exhibition #herstory #americanwilderness #article #iglibraries #specialcollections https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp91j5SFSc_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cw021jrl1zvk

I need this today so badly. Every single song. I don't know how you're feeling right now, but I hope you'll listen to American Wilderness. Rage with me. Mourn with me. Hope with me. Go into the wilderness and come back alive. #AmericanWilderness
