Introducing my new pet project

The past few months I had this idea bouncing around in my head. Some of you may already know that I got accepted into a Women's Studies graduate school in San Francisco, but turned down my admission to move to Chicago. While I don't regret moving to Chicago, I do regret that I skipped out on a super-affordable master's program. The two schools that offer this in Chicago aren't all that hot and they are very pricey. So, no Women's Studies masters for me. But that doesn't mean I can't read the texts and learn on my own does it? Who cares about some degree I'll tuck away and never use in my 'real life' as a librarian? Since leaving Madison, I've really missed discussing feminist issues with friends, peers, strangers, dissidents, etc. And maybe none of you want to talk about those things, but if you do, I've started a new web site.

Glass Ceiling U will be my DIY masters degree. I want it to be more than just a book club of women's texts, but for now its basically me reviewing book chapters and thinking about the implications of what I've read. I really want people to join in, so if you know anyone who may be interested, please let them know so I can get a dialogue going in the comments. Or if you are super super excited, read along with me! I'm really excited about this. It may not be art or a band, and it won't make me any money, but it's mine and its near and dear to me. And that's enough reason to blab to all of you about it.

So, thanks Graham for the name, thanks Nate for the logo and future logos, and thanks to anyone who contributes in any way. Feel free to recommend a book to me.
