Actually, sung quite a lot in the circles where I hang out
Codfish at the ready, folks:
I suspect that my dr rdrz will be as boggled as I am to have come across, in the past few days, the term 'unsung' applied to
Octavia Butler (additional content warning for Attack of the Giant Mutant Cliches about SFF).
Sylvia Pankhurst: that would be Sylvia*, who left her footprints in the sands of time by getting out her narrative of the suffrage struggle well before ma and sis, and has had rather more bios written about her than Emmeline and Christabel.
In this little niche of mine, you could hardly get more sung than either of these figures.
*Though will concede that her significant 1930s work in Abyssinia does not get mentioned and she does not appear in either of the two novels I've read during the past year on the Italian invasion: both, I concede, written from US ps o v. But 'unsung' in connection with suffrage? it is to point and larf. This entry was originally posted at http://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2414021.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
