Antigen Presenting Cells and Stromal Cells Trigger Human Natural Killer Lymphocytes to Autoreactivity: Evidence for the Involvement of Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors (NCR) and NKG2... by Alessandro Poggi, Maria Raffaella Zocchi

Indeed, since the New Woman was commonly a target for caricature, the suffragette a laughing stock, and feminist demonstrations were considered as enjoyable as “good Sunday afternoon street entertainment”, The Convert turned this tendency to its advantage and used humour as a sweetener for the serious pill it contains, in accordance with the received idea that women are born entertainers. …”
