Looking forward to heading to Bristol for this year's PGR Arts conference Exchange and Transformation, where I shall be presenting a paper as part of tomorrow's Identity and Metamorphosis panel.

I really enjoyed December's NWiMS conference at UEA (hard to believe it was that long ago) and am really grateful to the lovely team at BAMS @modernistudies.bsky.social for allowing me to spread the word about the wonders of Mary Borden πŸ’™

Letter from soldier to his fiancΓ©e, WW1:

'Whatever you do, don’t go in Munitions or anything in that line – just fill a Woman’s position and remain being a woman – don’t develop into one of those β€˜things’ that are doing men’s work . . .

Wonderful to see this - as a Borden researcher I am always eager to see her represented.
