My long read of @karolinarogalska.bsky.social's new book Ziemie [Lands: Stories of Recovery and Loss]. It's a Polish book about the "Recovered Territories" and post-1945 displacement.
I poured all my love for the subject into this text. Enjoy!

It's Women's History Month. Because the offerings are so broad, I'm posting books, often about women & agender, by women in my field, HABSBURG Central Europe. Nope, not Germany! First, by Mo Healy, whose book from earlier this century has changed the field. Among the best books on World War I.

I got one of the bouquets! Also, František Palacký appears to be better looking than Gregor Mendel, but I suppose it's a matter of taste.
