So much to digest here, I wish I wasn't in such a work crunch so I could read more. And thanks for pointing me to Theresa and Leigh, I'm especially interested in the work they're doing, too.</p>Gail at LargeThu, 26 Mar 2009 18:37:27 -0000http://www.countablyinfinite.ca/blog/2009/03/more-awesome-less-bitch-celebrating-ada-lovelace-day-2009/#comment-7481169<p>Thanks Karen... You inspire me too, you know. :-)</p><p>As for "bitch," when people use the word bitch, I think that now it is a replacement for the word "feminist."
