I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but this book feels so special. The tone of the author is unique, the history gathered is impressive, and the way it is written feels like the warmth of gossiping with girlfriends. Bravo.

Caveat for me, ignore: Trump talking points are the new Zombies or Aliens. It is weird cause critiques are meant to be hinting at today's issues and not overtly said, but it also is only being said because of him. Fanatic, patriotism, facism. Like it's weird to talk about the topic and not mention Trump. Our stories are a reflection of what policies we are forced to face in our time.

Amazingly written and researched, goddamn infuriating as the abortion arguments never change. It’s always about controlling women and racism. It’s never about actually helping. How in two hundred years has not a damn thing changed

Excellent.

Literally thought I started this this year but I started it in 2023 so I think I probably won’t pick it back up anytime soon, but maybe someday, it was interesting. I got to maybe page 70ish.
