Yesterday, a total blackout left Spain without electricity, internet access, trains, cell phones, card payments etc. for 6 to 14 hours depending on regions.
Luckily, I was not on a train and had good readings at hand both for work and for pleasure.
Long live paper books in this online world!

On 25 Feb., Yvonne Knibiehler (1922-2025) died aged 103.
A pioneer of women's history, she started researching 50 years ago topics that still resonate today: motherhood (& fatherhood), bodies, sexuality.
Let's honour her & women's history month by rereading her work.
