The Egyptian goddess Isis was celebrated as the ideal wife and mother. The blogger known as Dr. Isis has some fancy-sounding degrees and is a physiologist at a major research university working on some terribly impressive stuff. She blogs about balancing her research career with the demands of raising small children, how to succeed as a woman in academia, and anything else she finds interesting. Also, she blogs about shoes. In fact, she blogs a lot about shoes.
...And behold, he raised the motherfucking Jameson on high as Isis bedecked her feet in glory, and the masses were sated. -- The Holy Gospel According to PhysioProf

I have to admit that, selfishly, getting to do this project and reading these letters has been a fantastic opportunity. The thoughtfulness of what has been written and the insights the women participating have provided are amazing. I am personally...

This morning Dr. Isis received the following letter from a "senior producer" (I put this in quotes because I didn't realize there were levels of producer. Apparently there are. Is this like a producer with tenure?) of a particular public...
