Your Field Guide to Spotting Seshat
Seshat tends to be where the words are. If you're in a library, a bookstore, or near a computer, don't be surprised if you see her out of the corner of your eye. She's a tall, very quiet lady who prefers to have something to read or watch to pass the time—and, of course, to help fill her daily report to Ra with. If you're interesting, she might stay around a while. Get reading, Shmoopers, so you have something good to chat about!
