this piece in which Liza Daly researches the biography of an obscure 19th century writer is fascinating and beautiful 'I traced Anna’s family and friends backwards and forwards across a continent... and all their voices, all but one, are men’s. For all her faults, her “colossal ignorance” and her crackpot theories, she had a voice, one that she insisted be heard. Thanks to accidents of history and mass digitization, her voice has carried a hundred years forward.' https://medium.com/@liza/always-a-fan-of-the-marvelous-the-hidden-history-of-anna-adolph-8c0bc3888db4
