Love those author photos! But I think my favorite part of this episode was the fun fact about women smuggling things in their skirts. I wish more of this kind of information was in history classes because then maybe I wouldn't have had such a hard time paying attention!
This is why I started The Exploress! I'm endlessly delighted and moved by the stories I discover. There's so much about the past that never gets taught in classrooms; no history class has ANY excuse to be boring.
Another fascinating episode. Though I'm both impressed and disappointed that the toktokkie's back legs are long enough that it can do a handstand with their backlegs still down 🤣

We tried to find a pic of them with their legs up - I think they DO get into full headstand position - but we came up short, alas.
