Is Emilie Kip Baker a real person? She’s apparently the only female author I’ve ever enjoyed and sounds like she had an interesting life but I can find literally no information about her beyond an audio book attributed to her and a couple random excerpts

So I’ve relistened to this same audio book about 3-4 times the past 5 years because it’s pretty comfy so I finally decided to do some digging into the author


Her Amazon page contains also a book about Nordic myths and some childrens poetry books, and the descriptions say this

> Emilie Kip Baker was a woman ahead of her time. Born in San Francisco in 1857, she grew up in a wealthy family and received a private education, which was uncommon for women then. Baker was a natural adventurer and a writer from a young age. She embarked on her first solo trip at the age of 20, traveling across the United States by train and writing about her experiences for various publications.

>Baker's passion for travel and adventure only grew from there. She traveled to remote corners of the globe, including China, India, and the Middle East, when it was uncommon for women to travel alone. She was often the only woman in her party, and her presence was met with surprise and curiosity by the people she encountered on her journeys.

>Baker's travels were chronicled in several books, including A Daughter of the Snows, published in 1902, which documented her experiences in Alaska during the gold rush, and Through Persia by Caravan, published in 1898, which explored her journey across Persia. Her writing was marked by a keen sense of observation, a deep curiosity about the world, and a genuine love for travel and adventure. She also wrote articles for popular magazines of the time, such as Harper's, The Atlantic, and McClure's.

>Baker's work as a travel writer was not without its challenges. As a woman traveling alone, she often encountered suspicion, hostility, and even danger. She was once arrested and accused of being a spy while traveling in China and narrowly escaped being sold into slavery while traveling in Central Asia. Despite these challenges, Baker remained undeterred and continued to travel and write throughout her life.

Now with such an interesting biography I obviously had to do a bit more digging but that’s the I can’t find anything more aside from one bit of info
> Emilie Kip Baker was married to Franklin T. Baker, founder of the Department of the Teaching of English at Columbia Teachers College.
Nothing else besides her booklist, her spouse & his occupation and her bizarrely adventurous biography can be found.

Thus I had to follow the last thread of the trail her spouse.

Is this a Freudian typo

Why is "genre book" a pejorative? Surely all books are part of some genre.

Based. The worst thing about guenonfag is that any time there's a post relevant topics guenon discussed, you have to wonder whether it's just a guenon shill thread.

I think I finally understood why Sisyphus is supposed to be happy. It's because he always has something to do, and will never have to think about what he's going to do next. Am I close?

Hmm, I wonder what is the pattern here.

Just make the character bisexual but they don't actually fuck anyone of the same sex

If Jesus is the God's son, how can we sure that he is the God's ONLY son? Also if Jesus had a son, would he be the God's grandson?

I have never been really into crime novels or thriller but apparently a lot of people like it. Why is that? Are there enjoyable examples, that could lead to hook me up to this genre? Just finished reading a novel so I would want to try a good crime novel.

Well, we know he becomes a Catholic in the end when he enters the chapel and prays, but I'm not sure how he got to that when for most of the novel he vehemently disagrees with Catholicism. Perhaps it was the only thing that was "unchangeable"?

What problem?

The problem of stupid people who generally vote/act in their own interests, which is short-sighted and yet understandable; or the problem of 'smart' people (mostly dilettantes who subscribe to scientism and like Facebook pages such as 'I Fucking Love Science') who see themselves as lords and saviours of the Human race - besieged by the unwashed masses who "just don't get it"?

People like Asimov were part of the problem. Declaring 50%+ of Americans to be stupid/bigoted/racist/sexist dinosaurs for years on end is about as far as one can get from winning them to your cause - a lesson which is now being learned by the Democrats, for example.
