Two books that chronicle the '60s

If you're interested in "Girls Like Us," Sheila Weller's new music bio about the loves and lives of Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon, I've got another book to add to your reading list.

Be sure not to miss Sara Davidson's 1997 book "Loose Change: Three Women of the 60s."

This is Davidson's story of herself and two sorority sisters at the University of California, Berkeley, in the early 1960s.

It's a true zeitgeist piece and expertly captures an America at the crossroads of tumultuous social change.

If you were there, you'll recognize it. If not, you may find yourself wishing that you had been.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
