community garden
Spotted in our community garden this week is a very special book fresh off the press written in collaboration with one of The Bloom's first ever subscribers... Irene! Back when The Bloom was an intimate community of 15-20 humans, back when the jobs section included only 5/6 openings, and back when our work was only a quiet whisper online, Irene raised her voice to advocate for the value of The Bloom's growing community.
Irene's new book Camilla, la Cederna e le altre is an important *and fun!* read about the most influential women journalists and writers in Italy, and how they built radical solidarity together in a time when Italian newsrooms only had bathrooms for men. As a journalist and author who actively uplifts and empowers other women in her field, there truly was no better human to recount this important history. She lives what she preaches every single day, and I couldn't be happier to share her new book with you this week 🌱
