The research for Positions Through Iterating led me to the text We Publish to Find Comrades, and even just the title moves me.

Jo March’s Monologue
Still on the topic of 1) Women and 2) History, I chose Jo March’s Monologue in the 2019 movie Little Women (directed by Great Gerwig). At this point in the course, I think there is a recurring theme of history and feminism in my works, although I never intended it to be that way. Strangely,…
