That's a, that's an act, isn't it? You use an eraser to rub something out.

Yeah.

And I think that it's, I think it's a mistake to think that it's devious.

I, I wrote a, I wrote a piece on my Substack recently about the idea that archivists are like, uh, sitting there by a fire burning women's, women's diaries and laughing about it.

They're not doing it- Out of, out of malice in many cases.

It's because we have a, a system that has told us over and over and over again who is important, and that becomes self-perpetuating over time.

So when I was teaching s- American history to my students, I would ask them, "Who, who is important in the American Revolution?" let's say, and they would come up with a list of people, and I'd say, "Okay, well, why do you think those are the important people?" Um, and we'd have to kind of unpick that and decide that, that that's what they had been told, and that's what their teachers had been told, and their teachers' teachers had been told, right?

Meredith?
