Just when you think we're making some progress.....
Last week![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nodbear and I received a copy of the New Researchers in Naval History conference programme and we were delighted, and not a little surprised, to discover that out of a dozen papers, half are being presented by women. True, the keynote and the conference chair are men, but a 50/50 split among the presenters is damn good going. Much better than recent conferences in my own academic domain.
However there still seems to be a bit of an attitude, among some maritime history researchers that pisses me off enormously.
( Cut for ranting and intolerance )
