115 years ago today, thousands of garment workers, mostly women, went on a strike known as the "uprising of the 20,000." These women fought for both "Bread and Roses"-for their right to enjoy life. That strike not only turned women into a political power but also the ILGWU into a powerful union. 🗃️

Hey #Medievalsky, #PCRS, and #Shakerace I have a book cover! From Penn's #RaceB4Race series! Designed by Brad Foltz. I am so freaking excited I could scream!

Book cover with an ivory chess piece of a knight on a horse on top of a dragon. The cover is tan/wheat color with the words "The Other Faces of Arthur" in yellow, and the words "chivalric whiteness in the Global North Atlantic" are much smaller in black.

Reminder: we prioritize pitches from people who've completed postgraduate work in history (or closely related fields) and who don't have tenure track employment. That means adjuncts and VAPs and postdocs, but also archivists, teachers, public historians, AND folks who don't do history as Their Job.

Really important thread on how Nova Scotia benefitted from plantation slavery - elsewhere. (Lit in #cdnhist emphasizes that yes, there were enslaved people in Canada but slavery was different in the colonies of British North America. This work shifts our attention and focus in crucial ways).

Alf Ball - left pic, moustache - a Showman born in Hull (1864) & based for many years in Deptford, London, is best remembered as a bioscope (early cinema) pioneer. Before that? In the 1880s he was a top middleweight boxer who once took on Peter Jackson... grapplingwithhistory.com/2023/07/13/b...

Photo of Alf Ball in his late 30s, a white man with a large moustache, really nice suit, waistcoat, gold pocket watch. He poses with his wife in beautiful floral dress and son who is in his late teens or early 20s. All are wearing hats. An enormous headed white dog lies at their feet.

Photo of Peter Jackson in his late 1880s prime, a young Black Australian man of Caribbean heritage, wearing a smart suit with gold pocket watch and a top hat. His hands are in his pockets for this formal studio portrait.

Yesterday was the start of UK Disability History Month - but how can we think about disabled voices in the past in a way that recognises their agency? Our new series does just that! @beckierutherford.bsky.social introduces the idea that we can historicise disability as more than a medical identity.
