Thank you all for this forum on Frances Ellen Harper! We're so greateful!
Have a look at all those great contributions teased by Eagan Dean...
Max Chapnick & I are proud of this forum commemorating the 150th anniversary of Louisa May Alcott's novel _Work_. Six innovative authors offer insights on C19 gender & labor in literature, very needed as we stand on the precipice of a new Gilded Age & a nadir of modern gender justice. Open Access! 🧵
Volume 41, Number 2, 2024 of Legacy is online! 🎉 You can find the entire issue here: muse.jhu.edu/issue/53522 ! We'll be covering each piece and why you should reach them in the coming days!

My publisher - Feminist Press - had their 35k NEA grant terminated. This is the highest level of government censorship attacking marginalized voices and stories. Please support FP by donoting, buying their books from your local bookstore, or from their website #NEA #neagrants www.feministpress.org
