Phoebe, that's so cool! It's always nice to see other people working on women scientists. :) Myself, I've been taking a break from the scientific biography and working on [[Blue Qur'an]] - it's such a beautiful manuscript and so unique! kei On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 1:53 PM, phoebe ayers wrote:

This is the kind of thread I like... ;) I've put myself in the Wikicup, so many of my edits are with the competition in mind. I have a FA ([[Heart of a Woman]], Maya Angelou's fourth autobiography) that just passed, and I have four others languishing at GAC. I also have an Angelou featured topic
