A Woman's Body is not a Lesson
from If These Trees Could Talk · host Shannon Walters
In every corner of history, desperation has driven women into impossible choices. From the lonely banks of the Paterson River to the locked wards of the Newcastle Industrial School.

We look back, not because history is a lesson, but because it is a mirror.
