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 […]

Miss Period badges: another bad idea

December 2, 2019 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

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. Now the store is reconsidering its menstruation labeling, euphemistically called Miss Period. This is a country where some companies forbid their […]

Pachinko: Koreans in Japan struggle to control their destiny

September 11, 2019 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

In the mid-1970s, when we were adopting our eldest son, I read that Koreans did not like the Japanese, because Korea had once been a Japanese colony. Understandable. Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko, a National Book Award finalist, sees it differently: The Japanese do not like Koreans. Covering several generations from 1910-1989, Pachinko describes […]

Celebrating a 70-year struggle to vote

June 4, 2019 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

It took seven decades of steady, often brutal, campaigning to get United States women the right to vote. The activism began in 1848 when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and friends shocked the local patriarchy by getting together in a church to tell their menfolk what they expected out of life. At that point, men should have […]
