'Though the reasons for promoting or rejecting masks as a sensible public-health measure were not the same, returning to 1918 offers some revealing continuities.' Jesse Olszynko-Gryn and Caitjan Gainty explore the history of mask wearing. historyworkshop.org.uk/science-medici…
And, it’s important to note, we’re keen on exploring all sorts of experiences of hormonal birth control, both positive + negative
