My airport read ahead of my trip to the US in May. What did this issue cover?
-
-
- An interview about a feminist history podcast, whose name now escapes me
- A biography of Aphra Behn
- Svenska Norgehjälpen, Sweden’s aid project for Norway during Nazi occupation
- Holomodor, which seems highly relevant these days
- Tehuanas: Zapotec women from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico who have long enjoyed a relative independence from, and equal standing with, men
- And, on the flip side of history in the new world: a biography of Inés Suárez, conquistador
- St. Vitus’ Dance
- A fascinating biography of Maria Enquist, a notable “beauty expert” (and probable grifter) at the turn of the twentieth century who offered some of the first cosmetic surgery in Sweden (paraffin injections)
- Queen Christina of Saxony, the reigning queen during the Siege of Tre Kronor
- Sweden’s first theater, a project put together by two noblewomen but which no longer stands today because it was torn down soon after its construction
- Brief little bios of women long-distance swimmers
- And of course the cover story on Amelia Earhart
