Hacker News Reader

Not a big deal but was written by Barbara Oakley (woman) "As a young woman with a yen for learning language and no money or skills to speak of ..."

Her on line course: "Learning how to learn" is the most successful MOOC of all time: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

I really enjoyed following it.

She also wrote A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If  You Flunked Algebra) which is a good read.
