HISTORY MUNCHIES

			Single granny gives birth again! With a mixture of pride and horror, feisty, fiftysomething Vicki León announces the arrival of Uppity Women of the New World, her 28th brain child, and fourth in her series sired by Conari Press. León, whose efforts at literary birth control have been a dazzling failure, is baffled by her prolific state, saying: "I've even tried abstinence, but the books just keep on coming."
								Shocking News: Teach your children well   A new study confirms that child brains develop better when their diet includes whole human history. Scientists are baffled. Teachers and librarians are not. "We knew it. Give the little dickens a balanced look at our shared past. The history of men AND women. Now that's nutrition!" commented one educator. In another startling disclosure, researchers found that a diet high in forefathers can shrink adult brains to the size of a pea. Free samples: click "History Munchies" button at top right.
An Uppity Gene? "In the early Pleistocene (1970), when I began identifying and writing about the women of long ago, I came to see that the most remarkable trailblazers no matter what sort of hand life had dealt them shared certain traits: flexibility; humor; a strong sense of self-worth; everyday courage; and an extra measure of vitality or life force. The very same qualities are abundant in the spirited uppity women of today. Coincidence? Or further proof of Uppity DNA? You decide."—Vicki León
