I wanted to last year when I found out about Tillie Olsen's death on LD just when I was wondering what had happened to her - but you know how it is with raising our kids and all. I wrote my master's thesis on Tillie Olsen (for my German university) back in 1980 when there were all but 5 published articles on her work. I would so love to see this movie: keep us posted if or when it is available for those of us who live in other parts of the world. (The link in the SF Chronicle article to a tillieolsenfilmproject site unforunatley doesn't work.) And thank you for this great mix of lesbian parenting and progressive politics!

I've been reading your blog for awhile now and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your writing. I read "I Stand Here Ironing" in school and it made me cry, and I never thought about the author until now. Thank you for sharing your world and your beautiful children! Hi!
