You know what's the really ironic thing?
Someone commented on my last post (in reference to the last line where I repeated Fiona's remark that she was glad the thieves jumped her, and not the young woman she had just passed carrying a baby:
I had a discussion with her this week about it, trying to help her come up with something that was at the intersection of her passionate interests (karate, fantasy, and characters like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Mulan, Xena, and some from Firefly) I suggested she should do a paper on The Woman Warrior. She'll have to narrow the topic, but I suggested perhaps taking at look at books like Maxine Hong Kingston's book The Woman Warrior, or Kij Johnson's Fudoki.
She liked the idea and got preliminary approval from her thesis advisor on this just a couple of days ago.
If you have any suggestions for a paper on The Woman Warrior, either books to suggest or thoughts on refining the topic, send 'em our way.
Edited to add: She'll be at Convergence this weekend. If you see her, feel free to say hello.
You know, her concern for the mother and her baby, doesn't this make her a "official" warrior? (Or a knight, or a samurai, or a saint?)Fiona has been flailing and flailing to come up with a paper topic for her Extended Essay, which is a twenty page researched paper that she has to do a first draft on this summer. It's one of the requirements for the International Baccalaureate degree.
