Episode Six: (Not So) Short And (Not So) Sweet

Thank you for listening to Bluestocking!

 

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.
