Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on February 22, 1937)

Happy Birthday to the brilliant Joanna Russ! May your day be as delightfully subversive and refreshingly witty as "The Female Man." Your fearless exploration of utopian worlds has inspired countless readers, writers, and feminists alike—though we're still waiting for our teleportation devices.

Your groundbreaking insights in "How to Suppress Women's Writing" continue to resonate powerfully today. You've masterfully shown us how literature can challenge norms while making us laugh along the way. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with joy, laughter, cake—and absolutely no suppression whatsoever (unless it's suppressing calories from that extra slice). Cheers to you!
