Molly McClain tells the remarkable story of Ellen Browning Scripps (1836-1932), an American newspaperwoman, feminist, suffragist, abolitionist, and social reformer. She used her fortune to support women's education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education.
Born in London, Scripps grew up in rural poverty on the Illinois prairie. She went from rags to riches, living out that cherished American story in which people pull themselves up by their bootstraps with audacity, hard work, and luck. She and her brother, E. W. Scripps, built America's largest chain of newspapers, linking midwestern industrial cities with booming towns in the West. Less well known today than the papers started by Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, Scripps newspapers transformed their owners into millionaires almost overnight. By the 1920s Scripps was worth an estimated $30 million, most of which she gave away. She established the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, and appeared on the cover of Time magazine after founding Scripps College in Claremont, California. She also provided major financial support to organizations worldwide that promised to advance democratic principles and public education. In Ellen Browning Scripps, McClain brings to life an extraordinary woman who played a vital role in the history of women, California, and the American West.Purchase the audio edition.Binding Type: Hardcover

Reusable Velcro Cable Ties That Actually Work
Size: 6inches-60PCS
These are really nice velcro cable ties.
They loop together if you need longer strands, which is super handy.
The velcro is strong for their size — I’ve held up all my cables with no issues.
I can add or remove cables easily without damaging the ties, which is a huge plus.
The quantity is great — 60 ties is more than I’ll probably ever need, but it’s nice to have extras.
Overall, these are reusable, sturdy, and convenient cable ties that make organizing cords really easy.

Good alternative to zip ties
Size: 6inches-60PCS
These ties are an excellent alternative to traditional zip ties. They’re sturdy, well‑made, and far more economical in the long run. Unlike zip ties, which you have to cut and throw away, these can be untied and reused over and over without losing their grip. They keep cables and wires neatly organized, and the ability to reuse them makes them both practical and cost‑effective. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a smarter solution than disposable zip ties.

Defiantly worth having
Size: 6inches-60PCS
The Nettbe reusable cable ties are wonderful. So tired of having to dig thru the cords in my drawer. This product makes so easy to keep cords neat, secure, organized and easy to find. The product is very easy to use and don't have to worry about the ties becoming a mess themselves because they stick together. The cable ties are not thick, seem very durable with them being made out of quality material and won't have to worry about them getting dirty.

Super handy for organizing cords
Size: 6inches-60PCS
I’ve been using these cable ties for my home office, and they make managing cords so much easier. They’re adjustable, reusable, and hold cables securely without slipping.
I like that they come in a big pack, so I can organize all my chargers, headphones, and computer cords without running out. The hook-and-loop design is flexible but strong, and it keeps everything neat and tangle-free. Definitely a small item that makes a big difference.
