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

Nice
Its cool, I like the packaging as well as how much product you get for the price. It has a lightweght water-gel texture, it feels nice to apply. I dont think it helps much with redness unless you really have rosacea then maybe a little bit. But anyways, I really love this brand.

Lightweight and gentle on sensitive skin
I like this moisturizer a lot. It feels light on the skin, absorbs nicely, and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy afterward.
The formula is comfortable for daily use, offers decent consistency, and I appreciate that it’s fragrance-free. The quality is better than expected, especially for trying a new-to-me brand. I have very acne-prone skin and a lot of products leave me red due to sensitivity, so it's nice finding one that doesn't agitate my skin.
For the size and how easily it fits into a routine, I think the value is good. It’s one I’d keep around, especially when I want something simple and calming.

The pads have changed but still a good product
I have been using these make up remover pads for many years now and will continue to use them. I like the 3 pack so that I do not run out. I usually only use 1 pad a day so a 3pk will last me for a long while. I do not have any issues with the pads drying out in the time frame from opening them to using the last one so that is a major plus. I have no issues with these on my skin or that close to my eyes and they do a great job of removing my mascara, which is the only make up I use. I recommend them. I will say that in 2025 they have changed the material for their pads, they are now thinner and do not have the texture they used to have which for me the only difference is that they can be a bit more difficult to separate but nothing to complain about.
