seekingferretI should have posted about this sooner, but Purim's made the past day and a half pretty crazy.
In any case, Purimgifts stories have begun to be posted and I've been lucky enough to be receiving ficlets about Beruriah, wife of Rabbi Meir, who's a feminist icon from the Gemara. Yes, the Talmud has feminist icons. They don't get treated very well, but they exist. Beruriah is smarter than most of the Rabbis she hangs out around and she's not afraid to show it, and she's awesome.
This is the sort of story you can't find anywhere else but in Purimgifts and it's really, really special and I'm tremendously grateful for it.

Part three will be posted sometime today. And then I guess at some point there will be reveals and I can talk about the stories I wrote.
