'In Franklin’s day, sexism ran rampant in science. Her own father, judging science no career for a woman, actively discouraged her aspirations. Her doctoral supervisor at Cambridge, eventual Nobel Laureate Ronald G.W. Norrish, called her “stubborn and difficult to supervise” and offered little support. James Watson, whose Nobel Prize hinged in large part on her work, referred to her in his memoir as “Rosy” (against her preference), and stated that, because of her “belligerent moods,” colleagues knew she “either had to go or be put in her place.”

'In 1927, W. Somerset Maugham wrote “Ashenden: or, The British Agent,” about a writer who is recruited into British intelligence by a handler called R. During the war, Maugham had been a spook; he was recruited after “Of Human Bondage” came out. Writers make good joes (as Herron might say): they’re keen observers, and they tend to know languages. (Maugham had French and German.)'

“In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People.”

The label "Scientist" was coined because they needed a term for a **woman** who was doing science.

"I guess you can't help it," said the ghost of the mouse.
The cat swallowed the last of it. "How do you mean?"
"It's your nature. You just reacted."
"Like one of those?" The cat nodded at a Roomba trying to find its way out of a corner. "You insult me."
"You ate me."
"By choice."

Angel of Greenwood is a retelling of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. It follows two young Black teenagers: Isaiah and Angel, as they enjoy their last few weeks on Black Wallstreet. It was written for a younger audience and manages to capture the horror of one of the most horrific attacks on Black America without the graphic details many comparable books offer. 5/5 ⭐️. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #bipocauthors #writewithmichael#writingcommunity Grab a copy: https://bookshop.org/a/87137/9781250821294
