A personal blog, named in honor of the novel Petticoat Government by a favorite author, Emma Orczy. The novel is about a fictional woman, Lydie d'Aumont, who attempts to inject some fairness and good governance into the court of France's Louis XVth despite the corruption and selfishness there.

Sex & Power
A visiting relative checked out the book Sex & Power by Susan Estrich to read while she helped watch our children last week. Before I took it back to the library, I decided to crack it open and see if I could learn something useful from it. I couldn't. It seemed rambling and unfocused, so I gave up the effort after a few pages. Maybe it's my mathematics background, but I have very little patience for a non-fiction book that meanders. In fact, I prefer my fiction fairly straightforward as well.
