Three chapters in one day and I'm feeling grateful for Dr. Nolan. She may not have given Esther enough of a heads-up on the shock treatment, but true to her word, she was there every step of the way. She also starts to debunk some of Esther's deeply ingrained beliefs about sexual purity and sends her to get fitted for a diaphragm. Considering the time period, I think this practicing female psychiatrist is a total badass and I say, "Hail, hail."

Ruthiella We take access to birth control for granted now. This is a reminder of how difficult it was then. 14h
Andrea313 @Ruthiella 👏👏 Exactly! I'm thankful for the work of my foremothers every day. It's also a stark reminder of how much freedom and autonomy we could lose, if some religious leaders and lawmakers have their way. 14h
