"I think there’s this idea that the arc of history always bends toward justice, and that’s very pleasurable. But I think it gives people the false impression that the arc keeps getting ever more liberal and ever more compassionate. It can swoop back." https://t.co/gaA4qndLyw

Mary Shelly lost her virginity on her mom's grave, facilitated a lesbian wedding, and carried her dead husband’s heart around in a bag, so, yeah, I agree, let’s return to traditional values.

I love doing book reviews for the @nytimes and I especially love it when I get to review something as good as Amanda Vaill’s new biography on the Schuyler sisters. It's a pleasure from start to finish. https://t.co/M9NzVRcikz

"A thoroughly fascinating biography, filled with Vaill’s signature warmth, humor and insight." — @nytimes

A stellar review of Amanda Vaill's 'Pride and Pleasure: The Schuyler Sisters in an Age of Revolution,' which she worked on as a @CullmanNYPL Fellow:

‘For all of her self-interest and avarice, Madame Restell does seem to have had one great and almost unheard-of quality in a 19th-century abortionist: she did not make a habit of killing her clients.���

The paperback of #MadameRestell is out! You can buy it. Or, if Trump wins again, you can live it. I am posing looking sad about this to make it clear I think that would be BAD.

Find it here or from your favorite local bookstore: https://t.co/F4cIGv68UO
