Read this superb historical novel

December 10, 2019 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

The Alice Network, a highly decorated web of World War I French spies led by a female master spy, has been turned into an enthralling piece of historical fiction by Kate Quinn. Within the first few pages, Quinn plants a question in the reader’s mind that drives the story, demanding an answer. Quinn takes genuine […]

A women’s health store in Japan came up with the idea that its staff would wear “physiology badges” when having their periods. Thank goodness there was backlash when the public got word of it.

Textbooks often miss the point when dealing with American slavery

September 6, 2019 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

Children spend a lot of time reading textbooks, of which not all are created equal. Some are painfully out of date, such as the Colorado textbook used by students in 2019 that went only as far as the Bill Clinton administration. Think back to all that’s happened since then… Yet, even pre-Clinton history has gotten […]
