Women are routinely erased from history, but occasionally they resurface:
more evidence female monastics were not only literate, but also prolific producers and consumers of books during the Middle Ages. … a female scribe in 12th-century Bavaria … produced more than 40 books.
David Johnson I was listening to a report on this as I drove home this evening. Very interesting.
Simon Woods No wonder so many men are uncomfortable with the internet; the potential for creating indestructible records directly opposes the cultural norm of literally destroying women.
Miraz Jordan @simonwoods Good point, and another reason to keep on ensuring information about women's achievements is recorded online in multiple places.
