Ladycast ep 36: Meet the women who are making reading cool(er)

odd program

This week I spoke with Payton Cosell Turner and Eliza Wexelman, the rad women behind Girls At Library, the gorgeous and smart online journal dedicated to women who love literature. We debated the merits of print versus e-book, running a bicoastal business, and the importance of constantly re-educating yourself. "I feel like there are people similar to us who are interested in reading but also interested in visuals and creativity and I think just trying to create a place for other women or other readers who wanted to have a resource. It's all the things we wanted in a website."
