I came across this 2019 essay by Elesha Coffman in UChicago Divinity’s Sightings, asking if we’ll continue to forget women like Rachel Held Evans in our telling of American religious history. I’m hoping that my book is part of the remembering. divinity.uchicago.edu/sightings/ar...

Rachel Held Evans, Gone and Soon Forgotten?

Christian feminist author Rachel Held Evans inspired fervent love (and fervent opposition) in her decade of public wrestling with faith.

Also, this sounds extremely unpleasant to me. I just don’t want my life parceled out in such a way. I don’t *wish* to translate myself into data and have myself represented back to me in that way. It’s necessarily incomplete & aso feels coercive. This is not the kind of animal I am or want to be 🤷🏾‍♀️

No amount of spin will save Ken Paxton from offering a child rapist one day in jail. The judge forced it to 60, and the guy still walked out in 29. He's unfit to serve in the Senate.

Planning dinner is, for many many many people, about what they have on hand, what they can afford, how work schedules change day-to-day, kids’ complicated schedules, individual preferences. The idea that this just a series of tasks is a huge cultural blindspot — which was my original point.

When you look at what Hamilton has done, you see how tiresome and pointless the “why is nobody majoring in the humanities” handwringing is. You need to invest and create a vibrant, research-forward humanities ecosystem on campus. Nobody’s going to want to major in disciplines that act dead.
