the world needs more Jacks. period.

When Jack started talking about the problem of women history being written by men I remembered a book I’ve read by Svetlana Alexievich called “War’s Unwomanly Face” (or something like that), and it’s a book about the WWII from the point of view of female USSR veterans. It’s a very heavy read and I think it’s not largely available in English, but if someone here knows Russian or finds an English copy I highly recommend it. It is short, but each story is so heavy and triggering that it took me several months to go through, so be careful with it. But also… I think it’s a very important historical piece about the war, because in Soviet Union the WWII was always shown as the period of Soviet glory and strength while all dirty stories were hidden under the rug. Men were celebrating this war, but women experienced something they were never meant to (considering all the conservative views on women at that time), and for them the WWII is another story than what was celebrated

I read one of Alexievich's other novels, Chernobyl Prayer / Voices From Chernobyl (it's printed in English with two different titles), and had similar reading experience. It's a dark but an important account from voices you don't hear from in history books. I believe Alexievich has a background in journalism which really enriches her work.

The actress of Maeve is French born and was just in the French movie Eiffel. She studied English language and literature in university. I just found out that today and found it fascinating how the personage Maeve resembles parts of her experiences.

"Spoiler alert btw...I mean..it was written 400 years ago, YOU'VE HAD TIME!" 😂😂

I am so happy to finally see a video on Maeve's book recommendations. 🙌

I ADORE the bell jar and watching jack talk about it gives me so much serotonin

Maeve sounds so cool, I can't wait to check out the show now! Also, it would be amazing if you could read Girl in Red's book recommendations and books that the former members of 1D have recommended (I know you've already done Harry Styles but it would be so cool to see the similarities and differences in books they like to read!)

Okay I didn’t know George Elliot was a woman and I feel simultaneously ashamed and shocked to my core

I SCREAMED WHEN I READ THE TIZLE UGHH!!!! I LOVE MAVE AND THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS! A PERFECT COMBO

I never really related to Maeve that much until season 3, since.. I'm not that smart. But in season 3, we learn she can't actually ride a bike because no one taught her and that really hit me, my mom doesn't know how to either and my dad is an addict. I truly empathize with her loving and forgiving her family members even though she knows they will continue to hurt her.

Jack's coming out is finally here. So brave to come out of the closet as a Maeve simp. As should we all

Jack, if Othello is your favorite Shakespeare play I REALLY recommend "Dom Casmurro" by Brazilian author Machado de Assis. He's just a genious author, very important in Brazilian literature, all his books are AMAZING, but Dom Casmurro depicts a very similar/Othello inspired story!

You are my FAVORITE KZreadr. I've never seen this show you're talking about, but am watching this b/c of you! The amount of time you must put into your videos, I cannot imagine. Much appreciated. Keep it up, love!
