S6 Ep. 4: Monstrous
This week, I’ll introduce you to Mary Toft, an English woman from Godalming, Surrey, who in 1726 became the subject of considerable controversy when she seemingly gave birth to rabbits.
Shout out to Ed from Ontario for suggesting this one. Apologies that it’s taken so long.
Next episode will drop on August 24.
