It is now more commonly known as puerperal sepsis or postpartum sepsis. This condition is an infection that occurs after childbirth. In the past, it was a major cause of maternal deaths related to childbirth, especially before modern hygiene practices and antibiotics became available. Global Situation Today: - Maternal sepsis remains a serious issue and is still a significant cause of maternal deaths around the world. - The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that maternal sepsis accounts for about 10% of all maternal deaths globally. It tends to be more common in areas where many births happen at home, there are not enough skilled healthcare workers, and healthcare systems are weak. Historical Background: During Wollstonecraft’s time, doctors often worked in unhygienic environments and did not yet understand germs. Consequently, infections after childbirth were sadly common and often turned deadly. - Peer Reviewed Journal Articles on Placental Sepsis: Cambridge: ; AIMDR: ; Incidences of: -Trigger Warning: Details on MW’s death:

THAT is how relevant this text is. I make no promises for future restraint. Side Lysistrata Update: (we'll get to Lysistrata later, but this was too good not to share now) As usual with CraftLit Texts: • The language is old, complex, and sometimes no-longer-used/offensive terminology (In some cases, she simply wouldn't have had other terms to use that were as precise) • You'll need to let it wash over you - be zen about it - and suddenly you'll realize you understand it all! ——(plus, no one can see how often you have to rewind ;) just sayin'...) • Things I thought you might want to read more about are listed in the Description Box. PLEASE ADD OTHER SOURCES in the comments! • NEW: there are ONLY brief audio notes in this series—98% of my additions have been inserted as text on screen. • This is ONLY being released on YouTube (because of on-screen notes).

  • Ep. 676: Where My Sproing At? | Chapters 50-51 / Volume 3, Chapters 14-15 Book talk begins at 22:17. Frank's letter. Frank has NOT behaved beautifully, but do us a favor - take his letter at face value. Tune in and hear us out as we go over yarn, a vintage chinois, and other updates. --------------------------------------------------------------- • • • • • • • My sock darns—inside • Sock darn—outside • • • • • • • •   Notes: Omg, I found the recipe!!! Here’s the recipe for Crabapple Chili ‘cheese’—like a chutney but fewer bits—and the recipe for Crabapple Chili jelly—which Thing 2 said tastes like better than real honey…which means I think I needed to cook it longer/higher, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ Either way, make the jelly first then save the pulp after straining to make the cheese. I didn’t have access to crabapples so instead I went to our local cidery and asked for the tartest/driest apples they had. She did not steer me wrong.  I added a booster step this time:  I have an apple peeler so I saved peels and cores, put them in a cheesecloth bundle, and cooked those down separately to get all the good pectin-y bits out. I reduced it by half then added that to the strained jelly.  I also made this in an instant pot. I can’t always guarantee I’ll be able to get to the kitchen when a timer goes off, so I used our trusty InstaPot on ‘Manual’ for boiling (takes 1-1/2 to 2 one hour cycles to get a good boil on a vat of Fruit pulp) then I used its “slow cook” for simmering. Worked a dream. I did the cheese in a regular heavy-bottomed saucepan—much less of it to work with.   *CraftLit’s Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9  • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: [email protected] • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023   *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON:   https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright -  $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships*  —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit  —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

  • Ep. 675: Not So Secret History | Chapter 49 / Volume 3, Chapter 13 Book talk begins at 13:23. "If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more." Tell us we're not the ONLY ones squealing over what may be the most romantic sentence in CraftLit history.  We've hit the turning point in the story here. Harriet is in love with Knightley. Knightley certainly seems to be in love with Harriet. And Emma's heartbroken. The tension begins to unwind in this chapter, but not without leaving a few knots for Emma to untangle.. --------------------------------------------------------------- • • • • •   *CraftLit’s Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9  • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: [email protected] • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023   *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON:   https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright -  $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships*  —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit  —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.
