Always id...How weird, I did the exact same thing... Always identified as feminist but didn't have a lot of backup till I started reading up over the past couple of years! Are you aware that since we left the saint there is now a feminist society? Seems like it was a long time coming for such an institution.<br /><br />I loved Caitlin Moran's book very much too and I would recommend Bossypants by Tina Fey if you've not come across it. As you might expect it's mainly to do with being a middle class white liberal woman trying to make it as a comedy writer in a male-dominated workplace but it's not angry or preachy, it's just very funny and sarcastic.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390007600095760777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452192909682225404.post-34226977275458909942011-09-02T13:13:27.819-07:002011-09-02T13:13:27.819-07:00You're going to work in the 1950s?

It's really only been recently that I've made the effort to educate myself on these issues, which is a bit embarrassing as I thought I was fairly up on these matters.<br /><br />I'm glad you're enjoying the posts! I'm really pleased that people are reading them :-)The Disoriented Graduatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768239272591867952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452192909682225404.post-63188802070971924362011-09-02T11:14:13.396-07:002011-09-02T11:14:13.396-07:00I am in a female-dominated workplace. It's in ...I am in a female-dominated workplace. It's in the education sector, so maybe that's a bias there. I was sewing buttons on today (about twenty, onto about twelve different garments). I was at an exhibition in Glasgow the other day, on women's suffrage, and it made me realise that I knew the basics, but not any of the details -and I wanted to know more. I did not know that Lumsden wing was named for Louisa Lumsden, or that she was the person who established St Leonards School. I feel slightly stupid for being in St Andrews for four years and not realising any of this!<br /><br />Your writing is really good btw - I've enjoyed all your posts so far.Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.com
