Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller
4.0
This book is the perfect size for a bite full of reading sessions. I listened to the audio, for reference.
Lulu Miller didn’t get to me emotionally until the topic of Unfit and the women Anna and Mary entered the topics of the book. At first, I felt bored of how revered the man, David Star Jordan, was to the author. I get tired of men, generally, and reading about them and their accomplishments.
When Miller introduces the dark past of U.S. involvement in eugenics and eugenics programs, and stated the vast numbers of sterilized people, especially BIPOC people, robbed of their ability to procreate… the tears fell off my face.
