In Which I Talk About My Great Great Grandmother

[madrobins]

For Women's History Month Australian writer Gillian Pollack enlisted a month's worth of guest posts on women and their history, as is only appropriate. Mine went up today (March 28), and rather than being about a woman who changed the world, it's about my great-great-grandmother, Lois Selucia Hobbs. Because her experience is one of the millions of her time: a small life. And I don't think the small lives should be forgotten.

Anyway, it's https://gillianpolack.com/womens-history-month-guest-madeleine-robins-2/.

I hope she was happy, too. Thanks for sharing that. 1837--wow.
