Votes for women! Vote for Mary!

Friends, a request: please vote for the Mary on the Green project, to get a statue to Mary Wollstonecraft on Newington Green. If you haven't already done so, please visit http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/2478, register, and vote for us. It is free, will only take a couple of minutes, and could net the project £6000. This will pay for several abseiling lesbians slices of whiskey cake.

It has been a good Wollstonecraft week:
  • an interview with another local journalist, in Mary's pew, no less (awaiting publication); 
  • a recce to Parliament, with Mary on the Green collaborators; 
  • a surprise seminar (the convenor said, "You were in the Islington Tribune!"); 
  • mutual-admiration-society coffee with the StokeyLitFest originator, Liz Vater; 
  • a random friendly photographer; 
  • several books (purchased: a solid 1976 edition of the Scandinavian Letters; borrowed: Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer; read: Ariel, last perused in deepest adolescence); 
  • too much time on Twitter....
And I also note that the Google Doodle for Friday was of the Disney animator Mary Blair, which I hope augurs well for her namesake.

Image: That is one of the logos for Natwest Communityforce. Yes, really, with 1970 decor. But we can imagine it as Mary, Fuseli, and Mrs F.

  1. The creation of knowledge is the main goal of any researcher. The thesis and dissertations written in the level of higher education is done so that students can study the latest material on different topics and aspects of life.
