I'm reminded of the #thanksfortyping hashtag on Twitter about a decade ago, which was stunning: a collection of examples of men thanking their (un-named) wives for typing their manuscripts!

(Of course the wives' cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc. is entirely unacknowledged 😐)

Oh, here's the #thanksfortyping acknowledgement to the wife who was a co-researcher at least who typed the ENTIRE (unedited) mss over and over. Caro I expected better of you

"This dissertation was typed by the author's wife."

This was that big #thanksfortyping thread on Twitter back in the day
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this. The women are obviously often hella good at their work and choose to do this and, hopefully, benefit from their work as well. I just find it interesting that once you start seeing this pattern, it's there in so many places.

#ThanksForTyping Spotlights Unnamed Women In Literary Acknowledgments
A professor shared book acknowledgment pages, where men thanked their wives for typing their manuscripts. #ThanksForTyping soon sparked a conversation on women and their uncredited roles in academia.

They are directed at wives, do not name them (though often name and thank others alongside), and they are thanked for this enormous task (and sometimes a collection of others along with it thesocietypages.org/socimages/20...

From hashtag to history

The story of Thanks for Typing began with the viral #ThanksForTyping hashtag-a call to recognise wives’ invisible labour in academic life.

From typing manuscripts to conducting fieldwork, these women made crucial but uncredited contributions to their husbands’ research.

It was a pleasure to work @TheSocReview on the #ThanksforTyping podcast last year

Re-reading the Broom Cypress (hahakigi) chapter of the Tale of Genji for teaching tomorrow-- given how highly educated Heian noble ladies were, I keep wondering if there's a diary or monogatari somewhere that's got premodern #thanksfortyping gripes in them. 😂
