Good morning,

I hope you are enjoying your Friday! Enjoy some links, on a theme you can perhaps guess.

Verso are republishing The Dialectic Of Sex, which is exciting. Here's a profile of Shulamith Firestone, including a story of her funeral, at which her sister laid a smackdown on her brother:

He lamented Shulamith’s “tragic” failure to make a “good marriage” and have children “who would be devoted to her.” When Tirzah’s turn came to give a eulogy, she addressed Ezra.  ‘Excuse me, but with all due respect, Shulie was a model for Jewish women and girls everywhere, for women and girls everywhere. She had children—she influenced thousands of women to have new thoughts, to lead new lives. I am who I am, and a lot of women are who they are, because of Shulie.’

Project Diane from Digital Undivided aims to work against the "I would support black women founders, but there aren't any!" line. It's still in early stages so there's not a searchable dataset yet, alas:

Margery Kempe, fifteenth century mystic and unreliable autobiographer describes an argument between her and her husband after two months of celibacy. I can only find this in middle English but it is well worth the effort:

"Margery, if her come a man wyth a swerd and wold smyte of myn hed les than I schulde comown kendly wyth yow as I have do befor, seyth me trewth of yowr consciens - for ye sey ye wyl not lye - whether wold ye suffyr myn hed to be smet of er ellys suffyr me to medele wyth yow agen as I dede sumtyme?"

And he seyd agen, "Ye arn no good wyfe."

Enjoy your day,

Alex.
