In this episode, I’ll be sharing two short stories by one of my favorite authors, Emma Donoghue (https://www.emmadonoghue.com/), award-winning author of Room.
In her collection of short stories, The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits, she tells little-known stories based on history, including such characters as Mary Toft, Baker Brown, and Mary Wollstonecraft.
Please consider checking out Eve Ensler’s V-Day Movement (http://www.vday.org/) if you are troubled by what happens to the heroines in these stories.

Early photoshop, spirit photography, vampires, and purgatory - they all have some sort of tie to our 16th President in this week's episode.
