It's STILL women's history month

Just thought I would mention that, having not seen more than ONE thread in GD to celebrate that fact.

Speaking of liberal economists, here is one that I like

"Charlotte Perkins Gilman (/ˈɡɪlmən/; July 3, 1860 – August 17, 1935) was a prominent American feminist, sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis."

Of course, I still have not read that copy of "Women and economics" that I bought so many years ago.

But when "Herland and selected stories" came out as a Signet classic in July 1992, I bought 48 copies (a case) for my bookstore.

I may have sold one, still have fifteen or so, and have given away the rest.

Just one person trying to make a difference.
