T and I



Remember what Virginia Woolf wondered about?

She wondered about an alternate history--of culture and ideas--if Shakespeare had a sister, and that sister had a "room" of her own to read and write in as prolifically as Shakespeare.

The Western canon would then be predominantly female...though still "white" (Alice Walker came along to suggest the absence of the right color on Woolf's otherwise righteous correction of the gender imbalance in the Western canon).

T and I are women and living in an era that is hopefully gender and color and ethnicity-balanced.

How can you tell?

Well, look above: T and I's room--they have a room of their own, though it's still a work-in-progress and hasn't reached the optimum grandiosity that T plans to confer on it by and by.
