I teach an "Introduction to Cultural Studies" class and tomorrow is the topic "sexuality" -- judging by the assigned readings I clearly meant to talk about LGBTQ+ but I have totally fallen down this rabbit hole of learning about early sexuality researchers who actually (gasp) thought women had libidos and such. My gosh, they were so cool. Professors when few women were, doing research many of their peers must have hated #KatharineBementDavis #EvelynHooker #CleliaMosher

An #introduction, esp for other #histodons but anyone interested in #gender, #sexuality, #women: I’m working on a bio of US social reformer and sex researcher #KatharineBementDavis, 1860-1935, and on my medical memoirs of surviving Legionnaire Disease and medical mistreatment, with comparisons to the #YellowWallpaper! Looking forward to learning how to use this site and meeting likeminded peeps like my #twitterstorians! FYI I also post lots of pics of my adorable golden doodle, Cosmo!
