So much inspiring herstory, as usual! Also love this: "Immediately, she began to pop off."

So many, indeed. And this seems kind of like a biographer’s dream. Collections all in the NYPL? Just blocks away from CUNY’s center for biography? I’ve got something brewing right now but I think you should do it!

Florence Kelley. What an inspiring woman. Sick and tired of men trying to erase women’s stories. We will resist and write! ✍️

Again about ready to cry. Maybe it’s just because I’m a hormonal female and perimenopause or maybe it’s because this work is so vital important as we both know. And I love that you put out the call for somebody to write this woman’s biography. We need more of us doing this work sisters please listen and hear the call.
