Heads-Up for Earth Hour and Women's History

My lifelong friend Mary Dalrymple Putnam just emailed me this heads-up: "Have you heard or read about Earth Hour set for tomorrow evening? People everywhere are asked to turn out their lights at 8:30 for an hour. I thought Sophie would like this. Another exciting activity is The Globe at Night. www.globe.gov/globeatnight explains the project based on views of Orion that one can report." Check out Earth Hour at www.earthhour.org

My women's history colleague and dear friend, Margaret Crocco, Chair, Department of Arts & Humanities, Teachers College, Columbia, University, sent me a link to an interesting interview with the editor of a book, The Evolution of American Women's Studies: Reflections on Triumphs, Controversies, and Change, in which she has a chapter: http://www.insidehighered.com Margaret is also a co-editor of the new & invaluable book, Clio in the Classroom: A Guide for Teaching U.S. Women's History.
