Thanks for the great roundup, Paul. There are a lot of things now on my reading list. And I really appreciate the time you took to lend your take on these (two many newsletters just list things and that’s it).

Thank you so much for including me in here and your thoughtful write-up! I purposely wrote Sarah (and most of my pieces) from a woman’s point of view. It was hard to find info about childbirth, or children at all, really. Yet for me that is the biggest part of life! Certainly everything revolved around giving birth in the years it happened, anyway. And literally a matter of life or death.

Thank you so much for including The Studio Across the Road, Paul. It was a lovely surprise to find it here, and I really appreciate your comments about the research. This particular photograph sent me much further down the rabbit hole than I expected!
