I will be speaking about Harriet Hosmer at Cedar Crest College on Friday March 23 at 1 PM. I’m very excited, especially as it was arranged by one of my Harriet Jacobs Family Papers colleagues, who in addition to being an excellent researcher also blogs about beer. (A great combo of credentials, I think.) Introducing students at an all women college to Harriet Hosmer seems like an appropriate way to celebrate women’s history month.

Harriet Hosmer: A Cultural Biography on Lambda Literary

Marie J. Kuda has written a nice review of Harriet Hosmer: A Cultural Biography on Lambda Literary. I especially appreciate the fact that Kuda puts the book in the context of the larger historical project of uncovering “the female enclaves buried under patriarchal scholarship.” And, to be immodest, of course I like this: “Culkin has added a highly readable, well annotated study to the increasing pantheon of creative lesbians supported by networks of friends and lovers.”
