'Suppressed Histories' Max Dashu

Susun interviews Max Dashu.
Max Dashu founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in 1970 to research and document women's history from an international perspective. She built a collection of 15,000 slides and 30,000 digital images, and has created 150 slideshows on female cultural heritages across human history. For titles and descriptions, see the online catalog. Dashu's work bridges the gap between academia and grassroots education. It foregrounds indigenous women passed over by standard histories and highlights female spheres of power retained even in some patriarchal societies.

'Unmowed Corners' Anita Sanchez

'Unmowed Corners' Anita Sanchez

Susun interviews Anita Sanchez.
Anita lives in upstate New York—the part of New York that has trees and mountains, not skyscrapers. But she also loves Manhattan, London, and Paris, and her blog Unmowed.com often chronicles the unnoticed plants of urban environments. She loves to adventure in the wilds of the United States as well as visiting remote places around the world—she has ridden camels in the Sahara desert, dived the Great Barrier reef of Australia, and participated in an Earthwatch expedition to the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific, as well as travelling in England, France, and Spain, visiting temples and watching elephants in Sri Lanka, and hiking Mt. Olympus in Greece.
