About Languagegal

I'm a recovering theater kid (for lo these 28-ish years) who has unsuccessfully tried to find alternatives to my day job as a speech therapist (yoga! ice cream company!) that were more anxiety-inducing than profitable. I've been a passionate reader my entire life. Ulysses taught me how to take my time with a book, and these days I mostly read retellings of literature from the perspective of the women involved. Both of my parents died of cancer, my father when he wasn't much older than me, so it's finally time for me to do this thing.
