This year marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Washington—a feat only made possible by the collaborative efforts of many dedicated people of every walk of life and political stripe. In this spirit, we present our seventh broadside in the Dead Feminists series, Just Desserts. Through our research at the Washington State Library, we…

The Curie Cure
I guess it was inevitable that Jessica and I would veer back into controversial territory eventually—we’re a little ornery, after all (as if you hadn’t guessed).

Come, Come
This blog might be brand new, but I should probably bring you up to speed on a project that isn’t.
