My New Book Coming Out Next Month!

I'm thrilled to announce that my book, The Cure for Women, will be released next month! Writing my second book has been such a labor of love, exploring the inspiring story of Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi and how her revolutionary scientific research improved women's health and lives. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Lydia’s Quotes

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
― H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

“Caring requires paying attention, seeing, listening, responding with respect. Its logic is contextual, psychological. Care is a relational ethic, grounded in a premise of interdependence. But it is not selfless.”
― Carol Gilligan, Joining the Resistance
