I am enjoying having somewhere to put my excess research (i.e. couldn't put it in the thesis) on girls learning to swim from the 1890s! I hope the seminar I am presenting the paper to enjoy it too.

I’m so excited to see this in the world in September. Between now and then I’ll be tweeting about some of the amazing women you can find inside-some you’ll know, and hopefully some who will be new to you.
