Dear H-Nationalism Subscribers,
Re: April Question of the Month
Alice Walker's In Search of our Mothers' Gardens and Carolyn Heilbrun's Writing a Woman's Life, both texts became lifesavers for me in the late 1980s and early 90s as I researched and wrote a historical biography of my maternal grandmother (a poet, Drama & English teacher), for my master's thesis in Liberal Studies.
Re: April Question of the Month
Professor Gay Gullickson at the University of Maryland showed how most historical narratives could be challenged simply by asking, "What about the women?" I'm grateful for her insights and example while I was a student at UM in the 1980s and 1990s.

Re: February Question of the Month
From Dr. Jean A. Stuntz, via Twitter (@JeanAStuntz):
The SAWH allowed me to meet scholars across the country. These scholars have been role models and mentors, book editors and collaborators. Now I see the new generation's work and I am relieved that they will carry on this wonderful tradition of scholarship and mentorship.
