Troubled Pleasures: Writings on Politics, Gender, and Hedonism | Kate Soper

Tagged is author which is good for city park and nature trail reads!

Here's this year's Spotify musical interest summary for the roulette wheel I spin for walks and strolls---I usually can't listen to the same playlist twice, but ambient usually wins dominance!

FelinesAndFelonies

The Unfit Heiress: The Tragic Life and Scandalous Sterilization of Ann Cooper Hewitt | Audrey Clare Farley

pick

This is such a sad/tragic story. It's also disturbing that this was happening in just the last century. Neither of the female characters are very likeable but you can't help but feel sorry for Ann. The arguments made for her sterilization & the way the court validates them are stomach churning. I didn't realize that the eugenics program used by the Nazi's was influenced by research & practice in the US. A valuable read for anyone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sadly yes, I read a lot about that in Caste. Great book if you are interested
