May was a slow reading month.  I finished a book about women in the early church.   Then I read The Wave which was based on a real experiment an American history teacher did in his class in 1967 to explain how the Germans could follow along with the Nazis.  The experiment lasted for a week and had to be shut down because it got out of hand.  Independent thought went down as obedience went up and those who opposed joining were harassed or shunned.  Short but powerful read about how quickly authoritarianism can take hold  in a community and why it has to be stopped quickly.

Thanks to the recommendation by @The Butterfly I finished this one  =>

I'd give it a 5/5 just by the sheer amount of research and insights the author gave on various topics why there's so much different/wrong things going on regarding gender historically and still now. It's very scientific, tons of sources mentioned but not boring at all. Interesting facts about why medicine is and was so much men-focused and how bodies of men/women are acutally behaving differently, e.g. regarding heart attacks and so on. And if you ever wanted to know why getting rid of the snow first from the sideway and only then from the road matters, it's a read for you :-)
