Excellent piece, and the book referenced amongst this larger historiography of women’s history looks fab.
Only 24 years of Eliza Schuyler’s life were spent with Alexander Hamilton, Jane Kamensky writes. What would it mean to write her into the history of America’s founding?
The Many Lives of Eliza Schuyler
She lived for 97 years. Only 24 of them were with Alexander Hamilton.

To follow up on a comment I posted - the building at the entrance to Arlington is the Women’s Memorial, or the Women in Military Service for America Memorial. It’s housed in the hemicycle, built in the 30s as an entrance to Arlington but never really used that way: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militar...

DACOWITS is gone, after nearly 75 years of important, forward-thinking work about the role of women in national defense. Hegseth claims the group had a “divisive” “agenda,” but he’s wrong and severely misunderstands - intentionally so, I think - the role the committee has played historically.

If I hear one more higher ed professional say “we need to go back to blue books and pencils to keep students from using AI,” I’m going to throw the entire industry out the window.
We cannot continue rely on ableist practices, period, the end.

I’m a historian and a K-12 educator and I use AI. My Bluesky is full of people I respect, all regularly posting about how they dislike AI and the people who use it. Many are in higher ed and/or the larger history field.
So - we’re just alienating K-12 teachers and others who are using AI tools now?

It’s small, but one of my favorite things is that I get to write a women’s history column each month. I love the research rabbit holes I go down, the stories I find, and the primary sources I discover. It’s not book 2but it’s what I have the ability to do right now, and it makes me very happy.
