Currently reading The Colorado Plateau: A Geologic History by Donald Baars and Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson
For the second book of my feminism theme month, I read Wow, No Thank You by Samantha Irby. It feels a bit like cheating to read something so fun and count it toward a serious theme, but, hey, there is some real stuff about gender roles and expectations about women’s bodies.

The title sums it up well: The Arsenic Century: How Victorian Britain was Poisoned at Home, Work, & Play by James C. Whorton. We all know about issues with lead poisoning, whether in water pipes, paint, or from industrial processes, and I had read about the problems with exposure to phosphorus in match production and other industries. But I didn't know much at all about arsenic, other than as a plot device in Arsenic and Old Lace. ⁠⠀
