This is my local yarn shop in Jyvalskyla in Finland - Tititty - in fact this is just one wall of Tuku yarn....there were several more rooms ....

Thanks Lucy - it takes years to research and write a book and this one meant and means a lot to me. Important to write those feminist lives into the historical narrative.

My review of @Lynncabrams Feminist Lives is out with Women's History Review. It's an important book that models how to capture the diffuse influence of politics beyond activist circles.

[Lynn Abrams @Lynncabrams]

very much looking forward to this though not sure about my 'legend' status!

[FOHN Finland @FOHNFinland]

Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶
