The Bluestocking

The Bluestocking

Hi there! I'm Helen Lewis, a staff writer for the Atlantic and the former deputy editor of the New Statesman. I'm also the author of "Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights." For quite some time now, I've been putting together a newsletter to share interesting links, explore my thoughts, and highlight captivating stories. The Bluestocking is a free weekly email that sometimes includes a few mentions of my book. I have a passion for topics like history, psychology, feminism, and media critique, and I often find myself diving into discussions about the culture wars.

We did not wear matching glasses deliberately, I swear. My big takeaway is that the French called the “Field of the Cloth of Gold” by the rather less evocative name of “Camp of the Golden Sheet”.
