Miscellaneous weekend reading

* We must learn to do without the Tudors – in fact the term began as a form of abuse of the royal family. A fascinating piece from the TLS.

* A small sign of progress in Australia after the years of Howard regression: both lesbian parents can now be placed on their children’s birth certificates.

* A relatively unpatronising piece on female geeks from an unexpected source. It seems women students in non-traditional fields are getting more common, and doing well – until of course they hit the workplace.

* An analysis of the phenomenon of the cheerleader.
