Thanks Lucy - it takes years to research and write a book and this one meant and means a lot to me. Important to write those feminist lives into the historical narrative.
My review of @Lynncabrams Feminist Lives is out with Women's History Review. It's an important book that models how to capture the diffuse influence of politics beyond activist circles.

Academic authors 'shocked' after Taylor & Francis sells access to their research to Microsoft AI👇
thebookseller.com
Authors claim they have not been told about the AI deal, were not given the opportunity to opt out and are receiving no extra payment.

Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶 Shout out #americast (@BBCsarahsmith/@awzurcher) & @RestIsPolitics for ℹ️ profiles 👍

The Women's Library holds a short run of 'SHE' magazine from 1970-1973. Zuhra Karim (LSE alumna) started the magazine in Karachi in 1963. We'd like to locate copies of 'SHE' magazine from the 1960s for a project we're working on. Please get in touch if you can help.
