Happy New Year

Happy New Year! There were two main through-lines for me in 2011–happily giving book talks about Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony: A Friendship That Changed the World and sharing my granddaughter Sophie’s love of horses, (which included me getting back on a horse after 35 years). People frequently ask me how long it takes to publish a book. Here’s a measure: from contract to publication, Sophie grew from three to eight years old, along the way she agreed it would be a good idea for me to dedicate the book to “Everyone who has fought and who is fighting and who will fight for the rights of women everywhere.” In the photo, we’re waiting for Sophie’s riding lesson.
