Lindsey Lee Wallace Republished An Essay About Her Mother’s Posthumous Online Data
For Digital Frontier, Lindsey Lee Wallace republished an essay about her late mother’s posthumous online data.
Wallace tells Study Hall, “The first piece of my writing career was this essay about my mom’s emails getting erased that itself got erased two months later when Gizmodo UK was shuttered. Since then, whatever else I’ve been doing I’ve also been trying to get some version of this republished. Last Friday a new version of this essay finally went up (and it’s also in print so they can never delete it again), and this Friday will have been five years without my mom. I feel stubborn and proud and the timing means a lot to me.”
Wallace’s writing has appeared in TIME, Slate, and Teen Vogue.
