In , , next to the parliament building, the walk icons are a silhouette of 's most famous suffragist, Kate Sheppard, who helped secure the vote for women in 1893. How cool is that!

@LouisIngenthron that’s not how the Kiwi’s see it. They have a tradition of varying the shape of pedestrian signals and, to my used-to- eyes, are generally very pedestrian aware drivers. https://destinationeatdrink.com/wellingtons-pedestrian-crossing-signals/

I would like full credit for scholarly productivity today for sending an article by a scholar I never met to another scholar I don't remember meeting, which, the recipient said, was exactly what she need to tackle her scholarly conundrum. All while remembering the other scholar I never met who sent me a list of cites last week.

@design_law it revealed how many of the aspects of his drawing were part of his personal style, which is a context new to me. In addition to comparing the magazine cover to the poster, we can also compare it to his other works.

Any rhetoric profs or other experts out there?

I'm looking for something to cite for the proposition that what we call things/how we label things actually matters.

Are there authoritative basic treatises, articles, books I should be looking at?

Recommendations (including self-citations) most appreciated!

@design_law @academicchatter A classic that is well worth your time is Metaphors We Live By (Lakoff and Johnson) https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/M/bo3637992.html

Born 2 decades before women could vote, Dr. Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander was a fighter. She was the FIRST Black woman to receive a Ph.D. in America; the FIRST Black-American to receive a Ph.D. in Economics from UPenn; the FIRST Black woman to enroll & earn a law degree from UPenn; the FIRST Black woman admitted to PA bar; & the FIRST woman to hold national office in the National Bar Association.

@Deglassco thanks for this great thread!
Sadie’s family also included aunt Gertrude Bustill Mossell, a #writer publishing as Mrs N.F. Mossell. (The Work of the African American Woman (1894)). Gertrude was also an #inventor who did not patent her invention, a form of camping equipment. Interesting to think about how her niece embraced law as a tool & (maybe?) also claimed her own name in public spaces. #BlackInventors #LegalHist
