Any early Americanists out there interested in weather? Just took pics of a 1785-1786 journal kept by a Brit who traveled the U.S. East Coast & South. He recorded the day's weather in each entry. Happy to email PDFs of my images! (Examples in next tweet.) #twitterstorians

So proud to have a chapter in this exceptional volume!
Excerpt: HISTORIES OF FRENCH SEXUALITY by Nina Kushner

ALT Introduction graphic. The photo has a dusty rose background with yellow lettering that reads "Tell us about yourself! Tag us on Twitter or sound off in the replies below! @womnknowhistory." A cartoon of a white woman with short brown hair, brown pants, a light blue top, and blue cardigan is on the right. She's standing in front of a cartoon blackboard that reads "History."
Cannot wait to read this :
RECOVERING WOMEN'S PAST, edited by Séverine Genieys-Kirk, focuses on how women born before the 19th-century have claimed a place in history and how they have been represented in the collective memory from the Renaissance to the 21st-century.

(Don’t tell the French National Archives about this - they might want it back)
The National Archives safeguards many treasures in its vaults, such as the agreement to pay France for the Louisiana Purchase, signed by Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Though it is not on display, the agreement may be seen in our Catalog at catalog.archives.gov/id/2998…
