The poems in The Path of Most Resistance by @jessyrandall.bsky.social, her second book of poems about women in science, are witty, whimsical, strange, and deeply profound. Perfect read for people interested in the lives and works that history is always in danger of forgetting. 💙📚 #booksky

Oh my LORD, I am only 12% through this so far and I officially want EVERYONE to read this poetry collection. I think it might be my favourite 2025 poetry read.
The prose is so precise and well researched. There's... almost nothing else out there like this. Please add this to your TBRs!

How do you first establish how devastating the death toll on childbirth was, then have it echo through in the minds and work of too damn many women who married and gave birth thereafter?
Ouch! (but in the good way)
