I'm supposed to be at Glimmerglass right now, but the bug that kept me out of Old Songs back in June has devolved into an annoyingly persistent cough and so, yeah, no. So yay the 'Glass for being willing to do a ticket swap. Now it's off to the Medical/Industrial Complex to see if I can ditch this thing, because
is next on the agenda. Apart from the obvious attractions of the work, I confess I'm really interested to see how Leon threads the needle on this one, because remember that panel discussion a few years back when he argued that women writers in the 19th century didn't suffer discrimination in publishing because, look, Mary Wollstonecraft! Jane Austen! George Eliot! and one was all like Um...? So either Dame Ethel has afforded him a Come to Jesus moment, so to speak, on the Woman Question (i.e. that there actually was one) or I've (more likely) missed some nuance of his argument all along. Panel discussion! Bring it on!
