I read Katriona O'Sullivan's book & this stuck; "‘poor’ for me was... feeling like I had no worth. It was poverty of mind, poverty of stimulation, poverty of safety & poverty of relationships.

Cambridge University urged to apologise over jailing of thousands of ‘evil’ women without evidence or trial A 1561 charter granted powers to imprison young working-class women found walking with undergraduates after dark

Rape trials collapse as victims abandon cases amid long court delays Courts logjam in England and Wales contributes to doubling in five years of victims pulling out of prosecutions
