The @nursingclio.bsky.social Reader comes out next week. It has been the honor of my academic life to be involved with this brilliant public history project. The personal is always historical. Check out the essays on birth control!

Mary Ware Dennett helped found the ACLU and was one of the org's first clients when she was prosecuted in the late 1920s under the Comstock laws for distributing a sex education pamphlet. She won her case.

I'm here now to help tell her story and remind you what is at stake.
