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.

Fits great on my 2014 Avalon 3
Fits great on my 2014 Avalon 3.5LV6. I changed filter every 20Kmiles (The first 2 Toyota filters were still looking good @20Kmiles). This GP075 filter has been in the car for 600miles. The throttle response is much better (more flow than OEM ?!). My last tank of gas shows >1MPG gain. I found myself backing off on the gas pedal quite often .. just need to reset my memory on how the car response probably. I also like how inexpensive it is ... so how do I take off a star in my rating ??? There are lots of (rubber molding) excess bits on the clean-side (none on OEM filter) ... what if one of them got sucked into the engine ???

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit and clears well
Size: H309 (12")
I purchased the BOSCH H309 OE Specialty rear wiper blade as a replacement, and it fit perfectly. Installation was quick and easy, and it snapped right into place without any issues. The wiping performance is excellent. It clears the rear window smoothly and evenly, with no streaking or skipping. Even in heavier rain, it does a great job keeping the glass clean and clear. The build quality feels solid, which is what I expect from Bosch. After regular use, it’s still performing well and hasn’t shown any signs of wear. Overall, this is a high-quality rear wiper blade that works exactly as intended. Easy to install, great performance, and reliable quality. I would definitely buy it again.
