This looks amazing! Of interest to @thehistorygirl1.bsky.social
I would love to send in a proposal for this if I have any time
White book cover with words βARE WOMEN HUMAN? Dorothy L. Sayers. Penetrating, sensible, and witty essays on the role of women in society.β
βWhat we ask is to be human individuals, however peculiar and unexpected.β
For #InternationalWomensDay, the @goldenagemysteries.bsky.social gang and I are reading Dorothy L. Sayersβ βAre Women Human?β A sometime witty, mostly exasperated reply to very silly attitudes in 1938, which still persist.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to our amazing βAgatha familyβ. β¨ππ΅π»ββοΈπ
At Golden Age Mysteries, youβll find the βmaddening familyβ youβve always wanted to belong to! Come along to the next conference, and enjoy discussions on all things Golden Age with people so excited to hear all youβve got to say!
