Thanks for the shout out! Just remembered you were once my writing teacher mentor ;) I would love to read your book on Seventeen. Once upon a time I did a lot of research on the feminist press of the early 70s and one thing I discovered was that "mainstream" women's magazines, including ones the movement criticized were actually much better in their coverage than "serious" news magazines.

It’s totally true! In the 60s and 70s especially Seventeen had a lot of political writing often by teenage girls themselves. I forgot I was your mentor! 😀😀😀
