Good Read
This morning I just finished Laurel Ulrich Thatcher’s Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History. Having read two of her previous books, I was interested in reading this one. This is a great book to learn about some of the feminine voices of the past. She mentions so many authors and books that I fear a new stack of “choice reads” will be created. When that happens I am filled with the overwhelming sense of “so many books to read, so little time.” She begins her book by contrasting three women and their writing: Catherine de Pizan, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Virginia Woolf. Each of the women brings an historical perspective to the female experience. It is interesting to learn that while women have been silenced and made invisible, their work has not been totally lost and is not only being rediscovered but being made accessible.
