How to Suppress Women’s Writing, Joanna Russ
That and Terry Tempest Williams’s When Women Were Birds should make for stimulating weekend reading.
Yes, you must read that book IMMEDIATELY. And then blog about it! *bats eyelashes*
I started reading it last night. I am not sure there’s enough blood pressure medication in the world. Or enough highlighter ink. (In other words, Super-Relevant to My Interests.)
Joanna Russ? I’ve read excerpts from that, and they made me mad (back in the grad school day), but I’ve read so much since then I can’t recall it. I guess I should hunt it up. I should be grading Cinderella stories not looking at Linkspam!
