ENHEDUANNA - First Author in History

The first author in history wasn’t a man, a myth, or a footnote. Her name was Enheduanna, and she signed her own words 4,300 years ago.
This Tuesday, the receipts drop.
Set a reminder because history is about to get rewritten in clay. #womeninhistory #womenwriters

This is what intellectual receipts look like: a battered 1759 first edition of Newton’s Principia, translated and expanded by Émilie du Châtelet. While Kant was busy theorizing about the “limits of women’s thinking,”she was redefining the field. #womeninhistory
