Barb:
Thanks for your prompt reply. The one reviewer that I heard back from at U. of W. press thought my book would make a good reader for gender studies classes once I got rid of the informal tone in much of the discussions...something I'm trying to do without making it too stuffy.
What do you teach?
I'll let the listserve as a whole know when the book become available. It is largely a social history, but my reviewers are particularly impressed with the anthropological and archaeological viewpoint I bring to the study.

Dear Catherine
I'm very interested in this book, and wish you all the best in getting it
through the peer review process. Unfortunately I don't have time right now
to review your manuscript - I am working on my own book at present on a
similar deadline, and as I'm sure you appreciate need to stay focused on
that! But will you please let me know when it comes out - I would really
like to get a copy of it.
Thanks,
Barb

They are in response to an excellent critique I got from a reader for the University of Washington Press, a review I wanted to address before I submitted the manuscript to U of A. The main comment had to do with a mixed popular/academic approach I had taken. As I have since written a historical novel to address the popular audience, I am focusing on an academic audience in my revisions.
