She went to galleries, museums, the theater. In her neighborhood, she remembers fondly, there was a recycling kiosk that rewarded you with literature.
Reading was encouraged. But in typical fashion, she says, she heard next to nothing about his experiences when she was kid. For the first time, in response to questions for this article, Coffman asked her father what he knew. She reported back that at one point her grandfather had considered suicide. At university, Coffman majored in computational linguistics, a field that combined her interests in language and science.
She was a top student and won a scholarship for business school in the Bay Area. She arrived during the dotcom boom and never left. But at least she could feel safe. Coffman, who has broad shoulders under a bob of blond hair, thinks and talks deliberately.

Kiev: Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing, and Dying. A few others, like In the Company of Women , nod to a career in business. That summer, a young white supremacist murdered nine congregants at a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina. So Coffman did what she always did: She read.
And because she happened to be between jobs, she was free to immerse herself in history for long stretches.
She learned about the Civil War, the conflict behind so much of the turmoil in the United States. She brushed up on her knowledge of the Second World War, a struggle more familiar to her. Maybe the lack of a job, of people to collaborate with, is also what made Wikipedia seem like an attractive pastime.
At first, Coffman stuck to tentative, sporadic suggestions. But then she was making edits nearly every day; there was so much to fix. He is the same person who invited her to join WikiProject Military History, a group where editors can chat, take classes, win plaudits, and work on articles together. Not for the first time, Coffman has been removing material from the article about the tank division.
The glorifying language, Coffman thinks, is a clear sign that this is historical fan fiction. It elides the horrors of war.
