From The New Yorker magazine: What if the New York City subway map paid homage to some of the city’s great women?
I love this map from Rebecca Solnit’s new book, Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas (University of California Press, 2016) which was co-edited by Joshua Jelly-Schapiro. Like so many of life’s most wonderful things, I was made aware of this map by Maria Popova in her blog, Brainpickings. Having read several of Solnit’s books in the past, I’m really looking forward to reading this one, especially since I’ve lived in New York and love it. And of course there’s my love of trains!
If I were still a college professor, I can imagine creating a whole course around this one map. I think it would be the best class ever.
