7:19a - "A Glance into the Future" ; A Makeover for the Celebration Landing Page
In honor of Women's History Month, the Celebration's landing page has received a makeover! Check out our new look at http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/
Thanks to K. A. Moulton, I've another vision of the future to announce today. He let me know about a one-act utopian "play", printed in an 1879 edition of Godey's Lady's Book, which was not in the Science Fiction and Utopias list:
"A Glance into the Future; or, The World in the Twenty-Ninth Century"
by Elilzabeth T. Corbett.
Published in Godey's Lady's Book, March 1879, Vol 98, No. 585, pp. 262-.
I've put a copy online, so you can enjoy Elizabeth Corbett's vision of a future with undersea tunnels, trans-oceanic ballooning, and self-immolating bears.

Happy Women's History Month! The future is being made today...
