Don't miss this marvelous thread on favorite books about women's history.

Do I know anyone who does book reviews / interviews for The Guardian? Would love to see MY BAD covered by them, if anyone's up for pitching it I can send you a PDF of the book!

Sometimes writing a book is about introducing audiences to new people who they’ve never met. But sometimes you’re introducing readers to someone they only think they know. @mkn.bsky.social talks about rediscovering Sacagawea on our current episode. Links below.

In other news, I am really excited to share some new initiatives we're launching at The Rumpus including increased pay, writing and editorial fellowships, and microgrants. therumpus.net/2026/03/31/e...

Lovely article about my book and research on Shere Hite by Ivelisse Estrada for the Harvard Radcliffe Institute magazine- without this Institute there would be no book! @rad-institute.bsky.social www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/news-and-ide...
