Excellent.<br /><br />I wonder if on 14 January folks will be taking time to commemorate her life and contribution to all of us in a few of those 'little corners' in Iowa or Nebraska?<br /><br />Ridiculous as it sounds (out of proportion with ironing for the kids - imagine), all this makes me want to fly back there and organise a few circles of friends for a casual reunion.<br /><br />Some of us should make of Tillie's writings a stimulus to encourage as well as discover (even seek out) people who write while they struggle with daily life and family issues on little income.Blogaulairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373333970371845109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246709.post-9705529714522707832007-01-07T19:55:00.000-05:002007-01-07T19:55:00.000-05:00Thank you all.

Tillie would have so loved it. <br />Tillie's daughters have put up a wonderful website at: www.tillieolsen.net -- it has a family authored obit and some great photos.<br />Tillie's birthday is Jan 14th. To celebrate her life her family and friends all over the world are doing informal readings of her work on that day (in homes, libraries, radio shows, street corners -- where ever people are moved to gather)and they invite people to join them.

Tillie Olsen and Joanna Russ' theories have illuminated my activism for over thirty years and it has been such a pleasure to reread them and realise that their work is as relevant today as it ever was. I feel such gratitude to them both for their careful work around silences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246709.post-91848516435765655302007-01-06T08:31:00.000-05:002007-01-06T08:31:00.000-05:00It has been many years since I read Tillie Olsen. ...It has been many years since I read Tillie Olsen. Thanks for writing this tribute to her. Your recounting of the literary reader throwing into the trash "I Stand Here Ironing" captures perfectly the tenor of those times and women's experiences in expressing themselves in literature (and everywhere else). Getting recognized was such a struggle! And add on top of that the class issues that Tille lived and recounted! The fact that the story was rescued from the trash and recognized for the jewel it --and Tillie was-- is perfect--gives hope. <br />After reading your remembrance, I am inspired to go back and re-read all things Tillie--especially now that I am older and a mother. New layers await!
