This month, I\u2019ll be talking about women\u2019s history on the Adventures of Jeremiah Willstone site<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Jeremiah\u2019s world is one in which women\u2019s liberation happened a century early, so, with twice as many brains working on hard problems, they\u2019re more advanced in 1908 than we are today – but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not trying! In March, the people of our universe celebrate Women\u2019s History Month as a way to highlight the important parts of our history that might otherwise be forgotten, and so this month on the Adventures of Jeremiah Willstone I\u2019m going to highlight various figures in women\u2019s history and how they inspired various characters in the Jeremiah Willstone series.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be talking about women\u2019s liberation pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft and how she inspired Jeremiah Willstone; women scientists Emmy Noether and Marie Curie and how they inspired Doctor Jackson Truthsayer; computer scientists Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper and how they inspired Georgiana Westenhoq, and women soldiers Kristen Griest and Chantelle Taylor and how they inspired characters like Jeremiah and Natasha Faulkner-Jain.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll also talk a bit about Women\u2019s History Month, International Women\u2019s Day, and the whole notion of \u201chistory months\u201d and how Bayes Rule helps us understand why singling out one group for recognition, which to some people seems prejudiced and unfair, really can be a fair thing if that group has been unfairly treated!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
