Up First from NPR - The Girls Who Were Sent Away

Before Roe v. Wade, when a young, unmarried girl got pregnant, she was often sent away – to a place called a maternity home.

Today on The Sunday Story from Up First, Ayesha Rascoe talks with Hendrix about the truth that inspired his timely fiction — and what happens when people with little choice, discover a new kind of power.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Biological Taxonomy and the Tree of Life

This system has been developed over the last 300 years. Layers have been added, and there have been debates as to what creatures should go where.
