Fellow left-hander here, as is my mother. My mother is old enough to remember being forced to write right-handed in elementary school.

I came across the first memoir in 1996, while at Texas Woman’s University. So fascinating to read Russell’s descriptions of her time at an Oxford women’s college in the 19-teens and compare it to a modern experience at a women’s university.

That last point about the cooking made me laugh - these are the important questions!
