Anonymous asked: Awww... kinda hate to hear about the name change. I hope u dont censor things for the sake of the kiddies. I dont really subscribe to the school of thought of "protecting the innocents." I thinks its a bit demeaning to their intellect to say that kids arent ready for certain pieces of info. Just a word of caution... and encouragement! Love ur blog!!!
Name Change!
So, it’s been pointed out to me that this blog could be a great resource for younger people. And I very much agree. So I have changed the potentially offensive original name to Awesome Stuff Women Did (and have changed the URL as well). Just so’s you know when you want to refer people over here!

Thanks to byronic, my letter to Tumblr today...
spandexandsportsbras:
Hi, I have a comment on the new #Sports tagged feature. Where are the articles about women’s sports? Of the first 100 articles I looked at under that tag today, there was one picture of a three year old girl in a baseball outfit from some old Life magazine shoot and one article about women playing baseball in 1948. Ironically to me, a little further down, I DID find a...

i wonder how many Mayan, Mixtec, indigenous to the Americas women like this had their legacies erased in patriarchal colonialism.
That is a fascinating question, and it goes both ways too. I remember in college, we read a biography of Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mohawk woman from the 17th century who has been nominated for sainthood. Her French priests and hagiographers considered her...
