This story, and Macha's race against the king's horses, sets the stage for the greatest epic in Irish mythology, the Táin Bó Cúailnge. Marisa returns to this story which she originally shared in 2022 and looks at it through the lens of a “post Roe world,” in which the right to abortion and reproductive freedom is no longer part of life for all Americans.She explores the many ways in which we also live in a post-privacy world, and how this influences everything from romantic to parent-child relationships.Want to keep exploring ideas like these?
