I've come across A LOT of good 17th- and 18th-century Quaker names over the past 3.5 years, as I've worked on my thesis. Now that my thesis is done and submission is near, it's time to share the more than 90 wildest early Quaker names I've found (in alphabetical order):

[Universal Short Title Catalogue (USTC) 📖🔍 @universalstc]

Because most women printers went by ‘widow of’, they are often collapsed into the same record as their husbands in bibliographic metadata. We are using catalogues, authority files, & archives to identify given names and make them searchable in our database! #USTCTwitterTakeover

My dad died on Christmas Eve. He waited for an ambulance for 3 hours before it was too late. He was only 58. I’ve fought my whole life to stop this kind of thing from happening. I admit defeat. It’s over. We’ve lost. The Tories have what they wanted.

@Lgottiebmiller It has been a major irritation since March 2020. My mum has always been good at setting the record straight when it comes to understanding exactly how women are getting screwed. Sigh.

[Bronwen Masemann @BronwenJM]

@Lgottiebmiller Big hugs. And it's false that school is not childcare. Universal public education was invented by the Prussian state to boost military industrialization by providing childcare to factory workers. Or at least that's what my mother (education researcher) taught me at her knee.
