While it was not the most original editorial in the world, there was a mildly-interesting little article on the bottom of the editorial page in the Times this morning about young women writers and a certain flavor of politeness they have to overcome if they are to be taken seriously as writers.The writer is able to use a visit to a small Lutheran college in Minnesota as the backdrop and does the obvious comparison to the phenomenon known as Minnesota Nice here.
It's a little bit of a hodge-podge of an article (the writer also laments the fact that more professors are choosing to live in the Cities and commute out to the small town colleges where they teach) and doesn't really address the negative perception of Minnesota Nice (that some people find it to be fake) but it was a nice little diversion to scan through.
