Hi again Just another thought - many men today are afraid of strong women - I am sure that was equally true in the past, and lots of our historical sources...
Just wanted to reply to this interesting thread. There are lots of books out there where the female is a modern girl in historical dress and that does jar with...
Oh, I know, I just forgot to put the smiley-face in my note. Of course you're right. I thought of a way to express it (but Susan did it beautifully), that who...
Oh, here's the reference: Pamphlet from The British Library, R.C., 1748 #76, The Female Apologist. A Satire. Occasion'd by the Monthly Memoirs of a Celebrated...
Ah, you've been reading Jane Austen! (Famous scene in Persuasion.). But I don't just mean historical sources. I try to get my information from contemporary...
I have to say that yeah men really didnt go against the norm when it came to women's issues. Don't get me wrong, there were a few, but not a lot. And really,...
This has been a great thread! When my co-author and I wrote our book, which takes place in 1809, one of the challenges was writing the relationship between one...
Juliet, your panel sounds fantastic. Divia, I think you've nailed it: I dunno, its just a thought. I mean I understand the idea that if the woman is too...
Yes, for all the panel timeslots I sort of wish I could divide myself in two-or three! This strong-woman/weak-woman stuff is fascinating, and really does get...
Hi, Mary, Good luck with your panel! Wish I could attend, but I should have some flyers there for the goodie bag. I was fortunate to come across the real...
I've just finished reading THE PHOENIX CIRCLE written by one of our list members, Boris Raymond, and must say it is a totally engaging read. He reworked his...

With regard to the statement that men fear strong women, I do think that is very subjective. This is a case where the individual personality triumphs over...
My late wife was a strong character, as is my current girlfriend, who is also an HNS member (proof of strong female character). I would like, though, a few...
Are you coming to the conference, Alan? Great response below. I'd sure like to put a face to your name! Susanne Dunlap ... From: Alan Fisk <alanfisk@...>...
Now, Alan, I have to take issue with "Only bourgeois women had the leisure to be interested in the vote, because it was the one thing they didn't have in their...
Y’all are still talking about strong women? Isn’t anybody packing for Albany? See you there! Patricia Wynn Award-winning Blue Satan Mystery Series The...
I agree with Alan. Those who were able to voice their opinions when it came to suffrage were the women who had the money and the free time. You would be hard...
Yes, preparing to pack, printing out and marking up the conference schedule, working over my pitch, and eager to meet many cyber-colleagues! Sandy Frykholm ......

Surely there have been strong women in all eras of history - it's just that they had to show their strength in different ways. I don't object to strong women...
Beautiful cover! Headless and body-less though it is. Susanne Dunlap Author of Emilie's Voice and Liszt's Kiss Touchstone Books www.dunlaphistoricalfiction.com...
... To me, that was part of the challenge and joy of writing a book set in 11th century Scotland. I made the storyteller Norse thrall, so she grew up in a...
I agree that there had to be strong women in history. My book KATE'S PRIDE is based on one of my great great grandmothers. She was disowned by her family after...
I love the cover, Susan! The colors are fabulous. I'll be looking for it. I'm packing for Albany and wondering how I can possibly be in more than one place...
Thanks, Winifred! Unfortunately, I can't make it to Albany, and it looks as if my author copies won't arrive in time for any of them to make it there either,...
