This woman's life story is incredible. Immigrant. Doctor. Translator. Suffragette. Swimwear revolutionary. Someone should make a movie! (Also her name bears an uncanny resemblance to my mother's.)

For #WeddingWednesday, here is a dress worn by Flora Diamond when she married Philip Jacobs in June 1923 in Bayswater Synagogue in London. It was designed by Aida Woolf, a teacher turned dressmaker. She was also married in a synagogue, so was also most likely Jewish. #VandAMuseum #Fashionhistory

Not joking when I tell you I still use the direction of the sun as a navigational tool. I think besides maps, signs, and asking strangers, people had a stronger intuitive sense of where they were and less fear of getting lost than we do now. Like animals who find their way home over 100s of miles.

Women are also programmed to employ extreme flattery in professional communications. Not shocking that secretarial robots whose jobs are looking stuff up for you, composing your emails, and organizing your life are doing the kind of emotional labor that traditionally accompanies such work.
