I just had to mention this book here because it blew my mind. I can’t believe how much we don’t know about our own history with contraception.
I got to interview Abrah for our podcast and she’s got all these decades of wisdom. It makes me a little sad we don’t pass down wisdom from mother to daughter like people used to. But I guess that’s what FDS is here for.
Ooh, gonna add that to my 2023 reading list, thank you for sharing!
FDS Podcast? I would love to hear the interview!
Posts like this make me wish we had a book club or a section on this site to share books and book recommendations.
I haven’t seen this one before —thanks for the rec!
