They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

Friends, where do people post CFP these days? I've used H-Net. The fall of twitter history means it's much harder to reach people these days! I've had quite a few great abstracts for the below but I feel like I should be reaching more folks.

For a take on very recent events written w a historical sensibility, I really like this essay by Hoechsmann & VanDyke, "Tailgaters and Militants: Unpacking Masculinities at the Capitol Riots" in the volume below: 🗃️

A red square with "New Episode" as the header. Below are parallel images of a book cover image and text box. The book cover shows a giant wonder woman holding a small blond woman. The book is titled "Suffering Sappho! Lesbian Camp in American Popular Culture" and the author is Barbara Jane Brickman. The text box reads: "In this episode Dr. Barbara Jane Brickman (University of Alabama) and Leah Cargin (University of Oklahoma and the Journal of Women's History) discuss Suffering Sappho! First, Brickman introduces the listeners to lesbian camp and then we discuss the many storied characters in the monograph. We share the zingers and one liners of actress Tallulah Bankhead and giggle about the camp antics of Superwoman's sidekick, Etta Candy."
