Beacon Broadside

I am almost reluctant to mention it, since I don’t want to clue their
editors in if they didn’t notice, but Beacon Press was all over the
Boston Globe this weekend. A review of Renée Bergland’s
Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science, an interview with Suzanne Strempek
Shea about her book Sundays in America, a feature on Stephen Puleo’s The Boston Italians, and a mention of Mary Oliver’s new book Red Bird in Shelf Life. Three of these authors have already appeared on Beacon Broadside: Mary Oliver on
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Renée Bergland  on misconceptions regarding the historical acceptance of women as scientists, and Suzanne a handful of times: here, here and here. Look for a post from Stephen Puleo later this week.
