In 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald published “The Great Gatsby.” Four years later, Ursula Parrott published her first novel, “Ex-Wife,” which was a bestseller.

Fitzgerald, in fact, would later be hired to write the screenplay of Parrot’s “Infidelity”. Why would the most famous author of the Jazz Age be hired to adapt a story from a mostly unknown writer?

Ursula Parrott was not unknown; she was just forgotten.

Know her name: Caroline Herschel (1750-1848) made contributions to that are still important to the field today.

And she’s just one in a long line of female astronomers who did not receive the credit they were due and whose work was used to justify prizes for male scientists instead.

In my latest feature for @BaltimoreHistories, I explore how "Baltimorean women’s suffrage activist Julia Emory was arrested thirty-four times as part of her advocacy for white women’s right to vote in the United States."

“Feminine Resolution”. Needed as much in August 2023 as September 1812 (from the Lady’s Magazine).

Done (though preassembled). Quite pleased with my Georgian pincushion based on a pattern from the 1770 Lady’s Magazine. Basic repertoire of stitches: stem, satin, padded satin, chain, French knots, split. Quite pleased with it. Question is, what will I tackle next (after the next database upload, which should be this week or next)?

can anyone recommend anything on the intersectionality of thr abolitionist and suffragette movements? And how the suffragettes came to exclude Black liberation from their work?

Craziness of last few months has meant barely any stitching but back to my 1771 pincushion pattern from the Lady’s Magazine. Embroidery scissors for scale

Delighted that after unnecessary tussling (because I got a new job) that my database of Georgian needlework designs is back online. There are 150+ patterns on the site now. The next upload has been delayed but once I am back from a family holiday, I’ll get on to it. ladysmagazine.omeka.net @fiberarts
