Here's the opening sentence from a student's "field trip report," where s/he is supposed to analyze the experience of going to an independent bookstore, Amazon Bookstore Cooperative, and connect it to the course we've been in: Engl 2061 - Women's Literature: British and Colonial:
"There has been a long, withstanding tradition of preserving women through literature."
I have to say that I get images of orange marmalade in my head . . . :-) And what word should the "withstanding" in that sentence be? I can't figure that one out at all.

I'm imagining women pressed in huge books, kind of like pressed flowers.
and I thought the long withstanding tradition of this particular independent bookstore had been lost. last I heard it was closing! thanks for the update.
At the 11th hour, a buyer swooped in: a young woman named Ruta who doesn't have a ton of experience, according to my students.
My students were critical of the paltry offerings and shabby surroundings. Unfortunately, they didn't get to the stage of analyzing *why* the place might have been less-than-pristine.
