Absolutely overwhelmed to be in the presence of the first-ever printed book to use the Cherokee syllabary, the Cherokee Constitution of 1827. At the American Antiquarian Society.

shout out to all the parent writers. to all the projects started and then withered because a kid had a cold, or fell when you were jotting an idea down, or started a bath and jumped in still dressed. for the conferences and fellowships and sub windows missed. shout out to y’all who keep coming back.

Not only did the Revolutionary Americans support inoculation (and later vaccination), they claimed inoculation to have been a proud American invention up there with Franklin's lightning rod. Putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of health and defunding scientific research is an insult to the U.S.

It is so interesting to see which of our older episodes start suddenly trending. It is usually an insight into what is on people's minds. In Jan, this episode was up 200% over it's monthly average. Dutch teenage sisters that took on the Nazis. #WomenInHistory

I'll also just say, about podcasts: As a person who happened to be on parental leave when my long awaited book came out, it's been amazing to be able to promote it from home and fit around time with my baby. I've done 3 guest episodes about this project and they've brought me so much joy.

Had a nice morning recording another podcast about the Wilmots, this time for the New Books Network. Feels great to chat about their amazing lives over a morning coffee. Looking forward to sharing more recordings soon!

I do feel so disappointed in the things this government chooses to focus on (and not). No, no one wants 'AI unleashed' on the UK. This is not going to make society better, improve communities, help people retain or get jobs, or live fulfilling manageable lives. Blah.

It is such a pleasure to showcase Alexis’ superb book at #BSECS2025. It was a genuine privilege to have the chance to read this before much of the world. I would guarantee you’ll find it an engaging study of some fascinating women!

The Wilmot sisters left a unique record of middle-ranking women's literary practices. Learn more about them in Alexis Wolf's book, Transnational Women Writers in the Wilmot Coterie. Find out more in this author video blog: https://buff.ly/40nmxw3 @dralexiswolf.bsky.social @bsecs.bsky.social #18thC

7 January 1792: #OTD Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Women was published. This text was hugely influential and is regarded as one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy.

Where is Jane Austen Bluesky? I know a few places associated with her have accounts but I'm not seeing much from societies (yet?)

With the Christmas tree down, #MaryAnning retires for the year. Not for her the bauble box in the attic, but a return to the office file of Anningiana with the Mary Anning stamps, Mary Anning coins, Mary Anning postcards, Mary Anning tea towels, Mary Anning badges, Mary Anning fridge magnets, etc.
