Wow.<br /><br />(I wouldn't say it was a "contentious" panel, myself--just that it had a contentions moment or two. But whoa, what a great outcome!)Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15914730499199048197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360814020056871156.post-19846690284884804972010-03-03T12:22:13.809-08:002010-03-03T12:22:13.809-08:00I want this book!
I've been thinking again a ...I want this book!<br /><br />I've been thinking again a great deal about this sort of situation as in your TOC #6:<br /><br />Lesley A. Hall, “Beyond Madame Curie? The Invisibility of Women’s Narratives in Science”<br /><br />I'm reading Richard Holmes's <i>The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science</i>. Among the figures given a great deal of text in what the author himself declares a 'narrative' history, is Caroline Herschel, the 'comet sweeper,' sister of one of the founders o modern astronomy, William Herschel.<br /><br />Caroline's early story, in the bosom of a denying, cold family, who, with the exception this brother, evidently chose her to be the in-house slave and scrub, tends to make one's heart sore. Particularly when considering how many Caroline Herschels there had to have been, who didn't have the eventual comfort and rescue by a loving brother.<br /><br />Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360814020056871156.post-82663251066127671702010-03-02T14:52:22.172-08:002010-03-02T14:52:22.172-08:00Hey, Timmi, I hope you feel better soon.

I hope you write to Antonio, the <a href="http://www.lambdaliterary.org" rel="nofollow">Lambda Literary</a>editor (agonzales at lambdaliterary dot org), to see if he'll review the book. (We're getting massive traffic. It would be so cool to see this book get some attention.)Nicola Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401940329164370169noreply@blogger.com
