Discussion prompt gathering

[damned_colonial]

Over on podficmeta they did something for 3W4DW that I think might work well here. One of the moderators, zvi, posted asking people to suggest things they'd like to have discussed on the community. So, I'm going to do the same, lifting most of the phrasing from her post ;)

Please comment to this post if there's a discussion you'd like to see happen on this community. If you have a full fledged entry, you can tell me that you'd like to do the posting. If you just have an idea you'd be okay with me riffing on, say that and I will.

I'll then post top-level posts prompting discussion on the subjects suggested.

One thing I'd like to see: discussion of queer women's experience in the era, particularly as it differed (or didn't) from men's. With book recs.

SO VERY SECONDED.

Just in case it doesn't go without saying that I approve this suggestion: I really approve this suggestion.

Yeahyeahyeah!

This is a topic on which, at the very least, I can waffle about the historiographical problems of uncovering queer women's experience (and what, contextually, might thusly be categorised) at that period, with reading recs (such as they are - much less than there is for queer men in C19th).

I suspected something of the sort. I think there'd be multiple hugely interested people, though!

Am so very for this topic and for reading recs on the offchance I've missed something... actually I rather fancy I've read more that falls a bit earlier or a bit later, hm.
