[Vwoolf] Woolf's "On Being Ill" revisited in the times of corona virus

[Cheryl Hindrichs]

An excellent book on the pandemic is Jane Elizabeth Fisher's *Envisioning
Disease, Gender, and War: Women's Narratives of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic
<https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9780312234492>,* the chapters are highly
teachable and the scope pushes beyond an American/British focus and
includes intermodern authors.

Having studied the pandemic for about a decade, like many of you, I'm
finding these interesting days.

Warm wishes to all,

Cheryl
