WHILE the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election had many celebrities freaking out on Twitter, one star had a creative approach in channeling her thoughts: Emma Watson.

    Watson, aka Hermione Granger from “Harry Potter,” aka the founder of feminist book club Our Shared Self, aka United Nations Women Global Goodwill Ambassador, aka the face of HeForShe, aka the new Belle from live-action “Beauty and the Beast,” aka all-around-delightful Brit, decided she would spread some positivity the day after Election Day. Watson left Maya Angelou books in a New York subway, and tweeted about her determination to keep fighting for women’s rights.

    “Today I am going to deliver Maya Angelou books to the New York subway. Then I am going to fight even harder for all the things I believe in,” Watson tweeted Wednesday afternoon.

    This isn’t the first time Watson has hidden paperbacks for unsuspecting travelers. Last week, she ― who plays Belle in the upcoming “Beauty and the Beast” live-action reboot ― hid copies of Angelou’s “Mom & Me & Mom” on the London Underground in Britain as part of a campaign called “Books on the Underground,” to encourage commuters to read on the train.

    “Mom & Me & Mom” happens to be the November/December book selection for her feminist book club, Our Shared Shelf, which she launched early in 2016. It’s very likely that this Angelou book will also be tucked into corners of New York City subway cars.

    “Mom & Me & Mom,” published in 2013, tells the story of Angelou’s relationship with her mother, Vivian Baxter — sometimes stormy and long fractured, but ultimately reconciled. An examination of motherhood and daughterhood, as well as black families, it’s delivered, said a Washington Post review upon publication, with “Angelou’s trademark good humor and fierce optimism.”

    For New York City voters devastated by the evaporation of a first female president, this honest but warm examination of matriarchal lineage may be a welcome salve.(SD-Agencies)
