George Sand
Hi Gravière, your edit to Glass ceiling was very interesting. I just wanted to let you know that edits like that, without a source, tend to get reverted. I dug up a book that discusses George Sand's use of une voûte de cristal impénétrable, added it to your edit, and moved it up to the beginning of the section. Check it out and please make changes if I messed things up. Leschnei (talk) 19:03, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Leschel. I agree the George Sand reference should come first but this was my first edit on Wikipedia and I felt it a littl presumptuous to rewrite history by placing it at the beginning. You have improved the edit. As an ex-journalist, I understand about the source (although I quoted the title of the play). I came across the passage in a French book on Sand. Quite remarkable that someone chose to describe the female predicament in such similar terms so long ago. I'll get rid of the redundant paragraph. --Gravière (talk) 14:01, 8 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Don't worry about editing errors; we all make them, frequently. It really does help to read the links above, and pester the folks at the Teahouse or Help desk. They're amazingly helpful. Here's a tip for free: if you want to make sure that a particular editor sees your edit (like your reply to me above), make sure that you ping them by typing (in my case). This will put an alert at the top of the other editor's page. Leschnei (talk) 01:38, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
