Women’s illness/pain has historically been brushed off, ridiculed & vilified (in art/literature think of the monstrous bent hags with gnarly fingers). Still often invisible, we manage chronic illness under a heavy history of that misogyny. My novel, Sycorax, is dedicated to unwell women. #Sycorax

Tonight, if you can, look up. November's full moon is the last of the year's supermoons. Often called the Mourning Moon, or The Darkest Depths Moon, she marks the final end to summer as we welcome the darkness. For if we are to have light, there must be darkness.
