[orange] and it's also, i wodn't put so much of the weight on gertrude stein as more on people who have sort of misused that quote. because she was just talking about her childhood home. [sth] very specific. [orange] and it was developed over. so in her "everybody's" autobiography, somebody asks her, "why don't you write about oakland?" "there is no there." she's just talking about her experience. and so people have used it to say oakland has no character. and that is more a reflection on at people think of oakland or are trying to make oakland into than what her thoughts were.

about them. >> ray and gertrude foster brown were very much a suffrage couple. she was head of the new york state women's suffrage organization, quite powerful position. and he was a journalist. and he wrote a book, a pamphlet, published anonymously, called how it feels to be the husband of a suffragette. and in that pamphlet you can tell that he is a true feminist. he supports women's economic independence and talks about how having a wife who does things beyond the domestic sphere is so much more interesting to have around than someone who just stays home and he's sort of saying all the right things. and so he puts on this wonderful public cheerful face of, this is great. this is what it's like being married to a suffragette. and yet in private things are a little more complicated. she is off traveling. she goes to conventions. she's giving speeches. she's out every night. and he's at home. and he's missing her. so there's this sort of difference between the cheerful public endorsement of it and that sometimes on the home front it's a little harder to make it
