So, what's a bluestocking?

I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for some time, and this week I finally decided to take the plunge. In contemplating a blog title, it didn't take me long to arrive at the name. The dictionary definition of "bluestocking" is "a woman with considereable literary or intellectual interests," and since a lot of my posts will be about books, random musings, or whatever mentally stimulating thing I've heard on NPR Radio lately (not to mention reflections on my transition from finance manager extraordinaire to mother of one-month-old Joy), the title seemed fitting.
