Thanks for the extremely useful info, Gem. Where're you off to? :) I'm not doing any extensive traveling for a couple of years yet, but London is definitely right up there on my list.

Hi, Chris. I'm glad you stumbled upon this thread. Your question is a good one, and every person who has ever called himself or herself a pacifist has had it asked of them about a hundred times in one form or another. My short answer to your particular question would have to be that I don't...

Nice, Gem. I haven't been to London yet. Which of those three areas would you recommend especially for a g'ma who likes to walk and who simply loves English history?

Well, it's catch as catch can around here, Wintergreen. Welcome! :)

be easy-peasy lemon squeezy

We could all go with ds. Who wants to charter a plane to Yorkshire for a Halo-finding mission? :D (I could say more, but ... ) ;)

Are you now, or have you ever been ... I think I've noticed that a few of you are reading Lolita. Any comments? :)

I went to a writer's conference at which Janet Fitch (White Oleander) Amy Tan and Anne Lamott all spoke. What a combination! Tan seemed composed, poised, and quietly purposeful. Fitch seemed forthright, friendly and maybe even a little bit shy (I thought) about her newish success, while...

Let me know what you think. I recently bought Ensler's video and I intend to force my daughter to watch it with me. ;)

I am just so grateful for the feminists who have paved (and are still paving) the way for women. Without them we'd still be handing any money that we managed to get our hands on over to our fathers or husbands and the mere sharing of knowledge about contraception would be illegal...

All you're trying to do is to even off all those little jagged parts. ;) I remember.

I am just so completely out of my league here. I did read The Vagina Monologues. Does that count?

I feel like what I'm doing might be called "highjacking" your thread, Prairie Girl, and maybe I really should start another one? Also, I'm feeling terrible about making you read The Corrections when you were trusting me with my recommendations! You know how sometimes it's just maybe the...

Aha! I haven't read either -- yet. :) I do think I see your point though, Mari. You're a pragmatic kinda gal. On the same subject -- vaguely, at any rate -- have either of you read Jane Fonda's autobiography? If not literally women's (or womyn's) literature, it was the story of one...

Buy one of those new crystal nail files and carry it with you religiously. That will do the trick. I promise. ;)

Do large cats bite yours? :eek:

Happy birthday, tundra! Uh, which prime numbers are our choices here? :)

Okay, tell me the truth here, SFG. Did you actually read each and every one of those statements? My eyes glazed over after about two dozen. Only a Beloit professor could get through it! Some of the replies were interesting though, and I did like this guys name: Unapologetically Tenured...

Which others would you consider to be writer's of Women's Literature? Recently we've talked about Virginia Woolf here, but which modern day writers are you thinking of? Some would say that Laurie R. King and Nevada Barr would qualify ...

I adore Clarissa Pinkola Estes, if that's what you mean? :) I've read everything she's written, I think.
