• Revolt of the Second Sex by Julie Ellis (1970)

You can find this book in some libraries and for sale online, but descriptions and summaries are hard to find. The first page copy reads:

THE NEO-FEMINISTS—
SEVENTIES STYLE
They come in all sizes and shapes. From micro-skirted teeny-boppers to successful lady lawyers to matronly grandmothers bored with the garden club. Freedom, equality, acceptance—they all want the same things. The ways they plan to get them are different—they run the gamut from ladylike persuasion to riotous overthrow. This book describes the ladies, how they feel and what they’re planning to do—today and tomorrow!
REVOLT OF THE SECOND SEX
THE FIRST AND ONLY FULL-
LENGTH REPORT ON TODAY’S WOMEN
AND THEIR FREE-SWINGING LIFE STYLES.

Chapters range from “Female Liberation Movement”, detailing women’s liberation groups, to “Our Archaic Abortion Laws” which discusses the then-current status of abortion law and practice.

• Teaching As a Subversive Activity by Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner (1972 Penguin edition)

I have the Delta edition, which was probably printed in the 1990s. I like having early editions, and multiple editions, of books. I’m weird that way.

• On Becoming a Person by Carl R. Rogers (1961 Sentry edition)

I’m not sure if I heard about this book through Jensen, but I’ve heard of it somewhere and thought I’d pick it up. Pay no attention to the pre-existent pile of books in front of the full bookcases.

• Unlearning the Lie: Sexism in School by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison (1973)

Another book with little online information. From what I read on the book cover: The author got together with other parents to form a “Sex-roles Committee” at “Woodward School, a private, interracial, nonsectarian, parent-teacher cooperative in Brooklyn” “to explore the ways in which Woodward might be perpetuating ‘mind- and spirit-debilitating stereotypical sex roles’.”

• Feminist Criticism and Social Change: Sex, Class and Race in Literature and Culture edited by Judith Newton and Deborah Rosenfelt (1985)

This is an anthology of 12 scholarly essays. Back cover reads:

This lively and controversial collection of essays sets out to theorize and to practice a ‘materialist-feminist’ criticism of literature and culture. [...]

The essays in the first part of the book examine race, ideology and the literary canon and explore the ways in which other current critical discourses, such as those of deconstruction and French feminism, might be useful to a feminist and materialist criticism. The second part of the book contains examples of such criticism in practice, with studies of individual works, writers and ideas.

• Horace’s Compromise: The Dilemma of the American High School by Theodore R. Sizer (1985)

I also have the 2004 edition of this book. And, I still have yet to read it.

• The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner (1986)

This find made my day. This is volume one of Lerner’s Women and History series. I’m still on the look-out for volume two, The Creation of Feminist Consciousness: From the Middle Ages to Eighteen-seventy.

• Ourselves, Growing Older: Women Aging with Knowledge and Power (1987) by Paula Brown Doress and Diana Laskin Siegal and The Midlife and Older Women Book Project in cooperation with the Boston Women’s Health Book Collective

There is a “newer” (1994) edition currently available, but I figured I would check this out. Not that I’m their target audience as far as age goes—but I enjoy their Our Bodies, Ourselves and this text should be just as informative.

I love book sales.

I know VISIBLE is the current output command, but it’s so not LOLCAT. What if we used LOL as the output instead? So, the Count-1 example becomes:

[Code]

I think this works very well, is funny to read and matches actual LOLCAT protocol, sorta. I guess the LOL would be at the end normally.

Linguistic Mystic writes,

As a linguist, this is really, really exciting. People are already trying to step in and enforce the “rules” of the LOLCat dialect. It seems like, as a “native speaker” of LOLCat, the author of this page had a distinct intuition about the “proper” means of expressing a concept in this dialect. Truly incredible.

#36. I, too, find it exciting.

If you can handle it: The LOLCat Bible Translation, Teh Holiez Bibul

21 An Ceiling Cat caused a deep sleep to fall upon teh man, An he slept; An he took 1 of his ribs, cuz it has a flavr. 22 An Ceiling Cat can haz teh rib frum man maded into wimman, but did not eated it cuz he brot her to teh man.
