why do women allow men to control them? (caveat I don't have the answer, just taking part in the conversation) prettyinterestinghistory.com/post/love-hurts

anyone else find it paralysing when faced with too many choices? In the latest update I compare the merits of staying still with moving forward - even if it may be in the wrong direction. lnkd.in/eBeb2Ke5 #pegplunkett #irishwomenshistory #18thcenturydublin #womenstories

Is time linear or more spiral-like? Is it all connected and interconnected? Yesterday, I received a surprise from the past, I wrote about it this afternoon and you could read it now... or tomorrow... prettyinterestinghistory.com/post/weaving-p… #pegplunkett #ellenhutchins #irishwomen #irishhistory

#ThroughHerEyes I found this fascinating, though sad too. In 1785, Miss Morgan, "a great wonder of nature" who stood 3ft tall was inviting the ladies and gentlemen of Dublin to pay a shilling to see her at an apartment on Nassau St, Dublin. She was known as the window fairy.

Sex sells. Always has, always will. Publishers know the value of a saucy story. For a peek at the latest on Dublin whore Peg Plunkett, see prettyinterestinghistory.com/post/fifty-sha… #harrislist #18thcenturywomen #findingpeg

OK here we go. Conceivably the greatest, most technical accomplishment in the history of natural history art: nearly 4000 glass models of flowers created by Rudolph and Leopold #Blaschka for Harvard Museum. None of the objects in here look like glass. Readers, they're all glass.

If you were to publish your life story would anyone pay to read it? Peg got €200,000 for hers - though half of this was paid by those hoping not to feature. Read a little more here prettyinterestinghistory.com/post/winds-of-… #womenshistory #irishart #irishdesign #margaretleeson #pegplunkett
