Thank you for the constancy of your fireside chats, and the constancy of women, artists, inventors, scientists, writers....and all. They and you lift me up!
So true, I did a wonderful internet course on on American black women in the civil rights movement, from the University of Maryland. I was so enlightened and learned so much about Ida and other brave women and how they faced unbelievable cruelty. Makes the suffragettes look like they were out for a romp in the park and we know what terrible treatment they had. So ladies if you are feeling in need of inspiration, history is full of them in all walks of life..over to you Sandi keep up the good work!
I used to work for the department head at a somewhat well-known university. This man, in addition to being a narcissist, enjoyed demeaning and intimidating women, and I was at a particularly vulnerable place in my life. My 13 year old daughter, ever my champion and defender, knew how upset this man made me. So, she used to edit his Wikipedia page (he was also a research scientist of some notoriety). She kept writing that, in addition to his many degrees, accolades, and achievements, he was also frequently constipated. Her edits kept getting removed, but she kept adding her comments back, until she eventually became tired of the game. It tickles me to think about the look on his face when he kept reading and changing her edits. It proves what a narcissist he was because he was obviously monitoring his own Wikipedia page almost daily. As his secretary, he didn't have me do it. I'm sure he didn't trust me with such an important task.
Seems like this has been the toughest day yet for many, I'm no exception, but we've got this! We'll keep pushing through and try to shine out some good into the world. Thank you Sandi 💕
Hi sandy x I think you are amazing lovely x I've been alone since my husband passed away x now I so so look forward to your UA-cam video x thank you so much for helping me to feel less alone x lots of love xxxx
Would-be Wikipedia editors should check out the Women in Red project. As well as hosting huge lists of needed articles, it also serves as an information hub for other activites related to articles on women. You can access it by typing WP:WOMRED in the search box.
I would recommend the book To Tell the Truth Freely: The Life of Ida B. Wells by Mia Bay. The paperback edition is still in print, I believe, and this is a highly regarded biography of Wells.
I just had a look on Goodreads, and there are two books BY Ida B Wells we should all get our hands on! Ones her diary!! The other is a collection of her works (maybe includes her diary?) Some books about her too, if anyone here has read any please recommend!
How ironic that I can't find Sandi's name in the video description. I want to recommend her and her videos to a group I'm part of and I don't know her last name. I'll find it of course, but shouldn't it feature on her videos?
I have only once contributed anything to wikipedia. I made a comment in the ridiculous discussion after Philip Coppens died & there was discussion whether his creativity & writings merited anything 'real'. Pointed out that unless we're taking out the page on Santa, even though he's clearly a macroscopic quantum object, and reviewing why there were (at that point) over 202 articles on women who have been 'playmate of the year' and at that point only 4 had other 'notable works' to their name, then perhaps we should leave off. Have never managed to work out how to add something new in there. I've often wanted to add something on my mentor, who is an amazing woman of colour who consistently achieves in our field against massive odds, but then I think how likely it is it would be taken down and somehow I don't get to learning how to do it.
The Ida B. Wells complex in Chicago was a terrible place to live. But it's gone. She shouldn't be. That her name was important enough to put on those buildings means there are people who know. But I doubt they are watching this. This is great, you may have given some teachers somewhere a very productive way to take a short break showing your videos.
Wikipedia editors tend to delete articles about women because the women are thought “not significant” watch any page you create to make sure it is not suppressed!
I would definitely recommend that people check the relevent eligibility critera before trying to create a new article. WP:NOTABILITY has all the information, but in general, you'll need to demonstrate that there's a decent amount of information about the subject in reliable, independent sources.
Thank you for the constancy of your fireside chats, and the constancy of women, artists, inventors, scientists, writers....and all. They and you lift me up!
YES. Ida B. Wells is always my favorite person to promote when people talk about african americans, women or suffragists.
What an inspirational and kind woman you are.
Thank you for the series and in particular this one. I’ll be researching and adding some otherwise overlooked women.
This is EXCELLENT, I am spreading the word! And, I may give it a try myself. Thank you, Sandi.
I love your hi-stories so much that I've been sharing them 🥰
Pure joy! You are Pure Joy!
I’m loving these little daily forays into history. It’s becoming the highlight of my day. Thank you for taking the time to do them. 😊
Brilliant again Sandi. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. I’m off to become a detective 🕵️♀️
The book on Ida B. Wells is "Ida: A Sword among Lions".
Thank you Sandi for doing these, incredibly inspiring and interesting. Pure escapism for a few minutes each day!

Sandi is an INTERNATIONAL treasure.
She has probably forgotten more than most people will ever learn.
A statuesque woman I think. She is worth adoration. Ida , thank you!
These videos are precious. Thank you.
Thanks Sandi! Tell Alex we're loving the production values on these charming chats!

these are a pure joy to watch, and I am so envious of your library. I will start on getting one myself, today. ^^
My favorite part of the day!!
Thank you Sandi ♥️
Fantastic ideas for new found time 👍
Seems like this has been the toughest day yet for many, I'm no exception, but we've got this! We'll keep pushing through and try to shine out some good into the world. Thank you Sandi 💕
You making these vlogs is definitely helping the cause for women who need to be remembered! :)
This is Amazing, all the more reason too go find out ,(digital) and do research.
this gave me shivers!
Where's Ida's movie, then? Instead of remaking yet another 80's flick, let's get a few of these overlooked heroines on screen!
Have you put the film on screen then?
My daily dose of zen and culture. Thanks Sandi!

There are a couple of biographies on Ida Wells as well as collections of her writings in print.
Thank You Sandi
Chike Jeffers and Peter Adamson did a podcast on Ida Wells in their series on Africana philosophy. (November 2020)
I would recommend the book To Tell the Truth Freely: The Life of Ida B. Wells by Mia Bay. The paperback edition is still in print, I believe, and this is a highly regarded biography of Wells.
I have the magnifying glass, now where did I put my deerstalker...?
Wikepedia has pages and pages about Ida B. Wells. I will read them.
I just had a look on Goodreads, and there are two books BY Ida B Wells we should all get our hands on! Ones her diary!! The other is a collection of her works (maybe includes her diary?)
Some books about her too, if anyone here has read any please recommend!

I loved going around National Trust houses and gardens until I found out that many were built on slave trade money.😔
