Love that my dad is hastagging all the hot boys from history. Proud of you Papa.
Wonderful presentation @Ll_Finestres of ‘Swoon’ my daughter’s first book. A joyful argument for the role of fangirls in the rise of male idols during history timesbookshop.co.uk/swoon-97817859… @bmartinezgatell #Byron #Listz #Valentino #Sinatra #Elvis #TheBeatles
Completely fangirling at this -- @FeldmanBarrett you know you are my queen. A Women's History of the Beatles was so important to my Beatles research... 💞 Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Swoon looks to be a fine addition to recent books taking girls' fandom seriously - acknowledging a thrilling way young women have helped shape cultural history. Just bought a copy, @bmartinezgatell. Wishing you much success!
