They say an author is "pregnant" with a book. As a new mum, I can confirm the analogy doesn't stop there: books have a postpartum period too — copy-edits, page proofs, sleep deprivation and all. Anti-fascist Economics has reached the final pass at @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social! Out in October!

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?
