Status Updates From The Edinburgh Seven: The St...

In these last few chapters there has been more information but frustratingly not as much as I would like.

For a book about feminist women (so I’m told, I’m a little unclear on the evidence to support this) James Young Simpson had a longer passage than two of the women on which this book is supposed to be about.

I feel like a horse being lead to dry pond. I keep reading and get these snipers of fascinating information and then receive no more information. The paragraph about women being there husbands property was informative but came out of nowhere narratively.

I am starting to think that this is the information to draw me into the story because Mary Anderson got a single page and that is not enough information who died in her 70s

Again I want so much more information. How did one woman decide to go from doctor to archeologist? We want more Emily.

I am really starting to hope for more detail in this book after the initial biographies are done. Helen sounds fascinating in her own right and then we find out her second husband is super important but in the next paragraph he is dead.

Okay chapter four on Edith made me so mad. She is by far the most interesting (to me) thus far in part because of “The Hope Affair” and being the youngest but there is almost no expansion on information in this section!
