"With the thread in her hand, the loving mother makes clothes for her son, who then travels far away from home …" The above quote comes from a famous verse from A Traveler's Song, a poem composed by Meng Jiao, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, over one thousand years ago.

And just like most mothers in our world, Meng's mother, who inherited good family virtues, worked hard all her life and fashioned Meng into a talented person. The newly-produced Yueju Opera A Traveler's Song, based on the popular verse, depicts the image of mothers all over the world who have endured so many kinds of hardships and have labored much during their lives.

The Wizard and the Prophet: by Charles C. Mann. Knopf,2018( $28.95) The human population is moving toward 10 billion --- some experts think we'll nearly hit that mark by 2050.

A Lab of One's Own: by Patricia Fara. Oxford University Ptess,2018( $24.95)

In World War I many women in the U.K. replaced their aprons with chemical suits and stepped into previously male-only fields of science, where they led war research efforts. Science historian Fara illustrates the lives of many of these forgotten women. Although the era marked a major step forward for women scientists, many worked for small wages in an environment of discrimination.

In the nearly 100 years since, women have come a long way, Fara writes, but the glass ceilings remain solid and the pipelines leaky.
