About Me

I chose my name because I'm over-educated, passionate and articulate, like any good bluestocking.... plus stockings of any color really flatter my slender, shapely calves and ankles.

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

I don't care what it's made of, but it will commemorate the victory of equality and justice over patriarchy and oppression.
