Textile factories still have this feel!
Women in a hand-sewing workshop in Puerto Rico, 1934. Most men were unemployed or doing seasonal work, but jobs boomed for women, doing piece-rate sewing for export to the mainland, in workshops or at home (at extremely low wages). Suddenly cutting fertility was the urgently needed to reduce poverty

Finished listening to We Will be Jaguars by Nemonte Nenquimo amazonfrontlines.org/book/ Inspired return to the wisdom of ancestors. My great grandfather was a professor of economics at the U of Illinois who wrote a non-mathy handbook in 1942. The last paragraph resonates!

@docjwatsonmd.bsky.social Love your podcast - just finished with the Red Headed League & you've left me with a mystery! What a strange opera production with a clip from (I think) Verdi in the middle of La Boheme. And I was sure you were plugging the singers, but we only heard one voice.
