where the concept of security was confused with imprisonment
doris day types would spend their days feather dusting
three flying birds arranged in different sizes on the wall above the sofa
plus the mirrors on the mantelpiece alongside postcards from global cities
a man with a heart and a conscience was needed to help change things
hope jocelyn has put him on her Christmas card list
thanks luv
from all of us
LONDON, March 21 1975—Sir Fred Hoyle, the British astronomer, said in
Montreal today that Prof. Anthony Hewish won the Nobel Prize for Physics
last year by claiming credit for studies carried out by an assistant.
Jocelyn Bell. The allegation brought an angry denial from Dr. Hewish,
professor of radioastronomy at Cambridge University.
THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Cara Aceitunada" by Nathalie Handal: man, birds, inside, never, where, list, cities, mirrors, confuse, history, disturb, heart
i've been following equality movements for years, for women here in the usa so much has changed in the last few years, so proud of them for there work and determination, but still so much to do, for woman and for other groups. very well penned, thanks for bringing this fact to light.
There is still much to be done for gender equality, but the divide is closing. Jocelyn Bell's discovery of the pulsar should be made more known. So should the female codebreakers at Bletchley Park whose work saved countless Allied lives, and the female mathematicians at NASA who helped put a man on the moon. The work they do is no less important than men's.
We've certainly come a long way. But like others (and your note) suggest, we have so much more to do. Let's hope for decent people, or braver people, for less greedy and close-minded people... working as one.
Sadly the gender divide will still taunt us all for years to come.
ReplyDeleteWe have come a long way, with still more work to be done where respect for gender is needed

ReplyDeleteWe applaud Sir Fred --- and I'm sure Jocelyn views him with affection, as do we all.

Absolutely...we need more good men on board!
