I'm filled with anticipation for a new publication from you. How about "Stories Behind the Stories"? And yes, that could include nursery rhymes as well. Given that you have a "day job", I'm amazed at the level of productivity you have achieved here.
History of People is probably more accurate than History of Women, but there's a feel to the way I write that I wish I could capture in a word or two and I'm struggling to find that. You know?
Thanks, Denise. I got to the point where I had to change or just kill the thing. I'm hoping to get a ton of ideas maybe I can mash together so thanks for throwing a couple on the pile. :)
Evolving sounds wondrous to me, Linda. Every story you mentioned left me breathless with anticipation. Seriously - my heart rate elevated. And I haven't even had my morning caffeine yet!
That's very true, Chandra. I think what I'm struggling with is that it feels like the name influences expectation for the reader and also influences my slant on any given story. When people see a publication called History of Women they don't expect to find stories about The Ugly Duckling and strange little stories they didn't know about people through history. lol

It amuses me that you call it productivity. Sometimes I see it as bashing my head against a wall repeatedly. lol
"History of People?" Or "History of People You Never Heard Of Before"?

People History?
That's great, Linda. Maybe something like "The Backstory" or "Backstory History."

Maybe "Odd Little Histories." Since you lean towards telling odd little historical anecdotes rather than, say, analyses of why the Roman Empire fell.
I'm going to move to Substack 100% and try to cross post to my own blog.
I would love to hear more about the other characters in Alice in Wonderland.

Yes, to all the stories you'd love to tell!
How about Women's and Other People's History?
Honestly, just about every story/character Backstory you've teased in this article I would really enjoy reading.
