 | The Odd Women by Arlene Young, Elaine Showalter, George Gissing
This book features the stories of women who did not follow the Victorian norm of marriage and instead opted to pursue careers.

 | Tartabull's Throw by Henry Garfield
Cyrus Nygerski is nineteen when he meets his first werewolf. Unknowingly, he asks her to a 1967 Red Sox-White Sox game in Chicago--a historic game as it happens, for Red Sox fans like Nygerski, a minor league second baseman himself. But Jose Tartabull's game-winning thrown on August 27th is just one of several spectacular events of Nygerski's summer. For it seems that he collides with Cassandra Paine not once, but twice--in New York City in April and in Beloit, Wisconsin, the day of the famous game. And each time, he discovers she's running away from a murder. Cassandra can foresee the future but, try as she might, she cannot alter the past--and it is that which freewheels the two into a whirlwind of pulse-hightening suspense, some brilliant baseball, and the dangers of life and dying in an alternate, nonlinear time line that saves Cassandra from her nightmare and hands Nygerski his dream.
