Bluestockings group

A charming young lady by the name of Dana McGee has created a group called Bluestockings on that well-known electronic school yearbook.

We at the Bluestockings blog must naturally wish her and her friends every success in their endeavour, and hope that they will drop in here for a nice cup of Lady Grey tea and some intellectual conversation.

It's delightful to discover that being a Bluestocking is once more in vogue, and that we are not so much (re)creating a subculture as joining one that is already in full flow.

kindred subcultures

• Steampunk - plucky chaps in brass goggles reviving the Victorian aesthetic
• Goth - elegantly dressed folk with a penchant for Gothic literature
• Geeks - especially GirlGeeks
