If you're feeling like #Christmas is a lot of unseen work by the woman of the house, then Mrs. Santa Claus is entirely on your side, even as written by the 19th century magazine writers who created her. https://t.co/KSpX06hwmn

I had a great time talking all things laundry with Shea from the History Fix Podcast! The history of laundry is so much more fun than actually doing my laundry... #womenshistory #womeninhistory https://t.co/KK7COOfhqH

Exciting news about a former subject of my show! Amalia Kussner is getting a biography by @phihpod . Available now for preorder.

Words of advice from the Woods' Household Magazine, 1870 to Young Ladies:

Remembering Joan of Arc, whose letter to the citizens of Riom was sent #OTD in 1429 Currently on display @britishlibrary, the letter bears Joan's first known signature https://t.co/amIcfEWhHg

However, I think Nevada might like a word about the articles' use of largest female legislative majority.

Some election news I will comment on! My home state has a female governor, 3 women out of 5 state supreme justices, and 54% female legislators. In a healthy system, balances like that will sometimes happen. Good to see women in those roles being normalized.

If everyone had better history lessons in school, the world would be a better place. Then again, I would say that wouldn't I.

Why spend all day fretting about today's election when you could spend 15 minutes of it reading/listening about elections that are safely over and the world did not end? (direct link in the bio and 1st comment)

To that woman who thinks life would be better as a historical farmwife: please read The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder. You'll see isolation, depression, debt+inability to earn, house burning down, failed harvests, etc. The cover looks cute, but the life was hard.

Over the past 13 episodes, women squeezed, bound, crushed, tweezed, poisoned, pricked, & stretched various portions of their anatomy, sometimes with permanent ramifications, sometimes with excruciating agony, all in the name of beauty. I'm wrapping up the series with: WHY?

One of the later items I remember was something like: she was there all along, and when her husband died she somehow knew how to run the business entirely by herself, but that doesn't mean she was a partner all along. It got more and more ridiculous.

Help me find a lost tweet! It's a list on how to write women out of history: 1 she wasn't there, 2 she was there but she didn't do anything, etc. Does anyone know where that list came from? @damesnet @SheDidWhatPGH @Queens_Podcast @LibraryLydia @WhatsHerNamePC @HerstoricalMnts

Celebrate the day with a little spooky women's history!

Happy anniversary to Equal Credit Opportunity Act! It is truly crazy how recently women gained the right to financial independence. My episode 3.4 tells the long sorry history of women and credit.

Two more days to vote (in my election), folks! I'm afraid the current polls are NOT neck and neck, but there's still time for an upset if you head to my website.
