If you are truly succeeding in your graduate program, but you still have doubts that you are worthy of your accomplishments — or perhaps even question whether you should have been admitted to your department in the first place — you might be fighting the imposter syndrome. Sometimes self-doubt propels us further: it lights a fire in us that stokes our inner drive and creates our successes. At other times self- doubt can be paralyzing, or even debilitating. Either scenario is simply exhausting. So, how do you combat feelings of being an imposter? Break your major tasks down into manageable steps, and cross off each step when you complete it. This might mean breaking your long-term goals (“write my dissertation prospectus”) into daily, weekly and monthly goals. Force yourself to pause each time you complete a major task. Appreciate how you are making strides with every step you accomplish. Remind yourself that you are moving through your graduate program, and that your completed tasks are proof of that.

Great advice from great people.

Women’s History Wednesday: Women’s History Month

Iowa Women’s Archives (iowawomensarchives) If you’ve ever wondered what women in Iowa have been doing, wearing, learning and saying for the last several decades, holy moly do we have a very specific blog recommendation for you. (Hint: it is this one).

The Mary Chestnut (themarychesnut) The work of Mary Boykin Chesnut, civil war diarist and secret abolitionist, had she written on Tumblr rather than on paper. 

Muslim Women in History (muslimwomeninhistory) And also very much Muslim women in the present. If you’re bold enough to fight prejudice on all fronts, start here.

The Female Soldier (the-female-soldier) Is it too blunt to simply say that this is a blog full of badasses?

Female Artists of Art History (female-arthistory) A panoply of genius from the distaff side.
