Mary Toft: The Women Who Gave Birth to Rabbits
Added 2022-03-04 18:31:00 +0000 UTCMary Toft, Mother of Rabbits! First of her name and executioner to the medical community who was obsessed with the Maternal Impression Theory. It's true that pregnancy was a mystery to modern-day medicine not so long ago. Leading to medical myths and harmful runaway media campaigns. Which is perhaps are more common in today's society than we think.

Nope. The Vagina Museum is a relatively new museum in London dedicated to gynecological anatomy and related topics. They tweeted a thread about Mary Toft sometime in the last year or so.

2022-03-28 14:07:40 +0000 UTCI love/dread seeing Tumblr posts about how people have not changed in character from ancient times. On one hand if they knew our tech and lingo they'd slide right in today. On the other hand, we really haven't gotten any better.

2022-03-05 05:05:17 +0000 UTCDon't you mean "the woman who gave birth to rabbits," not "the women who gave birth to rabbits?" Might want to fix that before it goes public.
