“And a blog didn’t have to end, as essays do. It simply had to stop.” —Nora Ephron, Author, Filmmaker, and HuffPost Blogger I was going to call this post “in conclusion,” but what I have learned from this project is that blogs don’t have a beginning or end in the way that books or newspaper […] The fragmentation of cross-generational feminist relationships was one of the few downfalls of a campaign that helped both blogging and feminist communities grow exponentially.

From the beginning, this project has been a little bit out of the ordinary, with its focus and life form changing quite a few times. Once I hit on a topic and a mode of presentation (tacky, but it works) […] Welcome to Bryn Mawr Weblogs. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging! |
