Listening to the latest @kickasswomenof.bsky.social episode, on Caroline Norton and you know I've to link everything to Limerick 😁 One of her friends mentioned was Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the bad guy in County Limerick born Rosina Bulwer-Lytton nee Doyle-Wheeler's story.

Please chip in to help the Vagina Museum. They are doing so much incredible work, discussing biology in a way few are willing to do so openly.
