Born in the heart of the
Great Depression, Peggy
Ullman Bell grew up in books, dozens of books, as many as 12 a
week the summer she was 15.
Reared in
historic Gettysburg and
York, Pennsylvania, Ms. Bell
yearned to learn what women were doing while men were fighting
battles and making revolutions. The history books did not tell
her, and thus her search began.

In this superb page-turner reminiscent of the great
Mary Renault, Peggy Ullman
Bell brings to life one of the most exciting and fascinating figures of the Ancient
World - Sappho, "The Poetess."
Here Sappho truly sings
again. She sings to the hearts of everyone, women and
men of open minds, many centuries after her mortal end,
with lyrical intimations of equality, love, and freedom
of spirit. In a marvelous tribute to the wonders and
depths of true femininity, with a star character that
would champion the rights of women if alive today, Bell
plucks Sappho out of a male-dominated political era long
ago that tried to bury her glory, and brings her back to
life for us in the twenty first century. I, for one, say
"Brava! ... well done."

COMPUTER BLUES
My computer is bisexual, of
that I am aware.
She has a feminine spirit,
but her masculine hardware doesn't care.
She heats right up when I turn her on
He gets overheated and then he's gone
She's sensitive to my moods, I hesitate to boast
'cause her masculine side refuses to perform
just when I need him most.
She has a warm and dulcet tone.
She even answers my telephone.
If I pamper him and cater to his crabby ways,
he doesn't throw a tantrum,
at least not for a couple of
days.
