fucking horrific and I also have a nine-year-old daughter and the idea of her sewing up any piece of my skin was like oh god I mean we didn't have anesthesia until like I think the 1870s yeah or so and even then it was administered very roughly it was so dangerous Julia had it when she gave birth and that's why she named her daughter Anastasia because it was the first time she had it so that would have been like 18 of

something and she basically later than that yeah yeah okay yeah did she not die in 1806 no no no yeah i think it was like the 1870s i'm researching that for an episode on childbirth yeah she basically was the one who gave women credit for yes choosing like a to abstain from pain during childbirth because before it was like you have to feel it yeah god wanted you to i want to ask you where is the worst time period you could be sent back to

I mean, isn't there, there is some comedian who does a bit where it's like, you know, you're a white man if you would go back in time.

I mean, none.

I don't, 1990?

I'd love to go to like Lilith Fair, but like besides that, no, you couldn't pay me to go back in time.

I feel like I would get my head chopped off immediately.

That's Virginia Woolf.

Virginia Woolf, sorry.

It's not going to help women's health.

And then I wrote a full draft.

Yes, you have to.

There's no there's no sending a partial or a pitch when you're selling fiction until you've sold a few books and then you can get a little bit looser.

So, yeah, I wrote a whole draft and the plot you have here is basically the plot that I had, but it was just worse.

And so, yeah, I went to book auction in the spring of twenty twenty four.
