[SIGCIS-Members] Book release of Programmed Inequality

[Christine Finn]

Congratulations, Marie.  Glad you'll be promoting it in the UK.

I'd imagine MIT Press will have sorted it, but do you know the
well-regarded BBC radio 4 programme "Woman's Hour"? They might go for an
item on this.

Best wishes,

Christine
