Steam trains move slowly but surely

Hello :) Those of you who know me well will probably have listened to at least one rant about feminism, especially after having studied Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez in English.

Oh, and for subscribers, it should be more of a newsletter system because I had to pay to get the whole sending an email whenever I post - as I don't post much, it shouldn't affect you at all :) Anyway.
