Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Women Who Know Who They Are
    Admiration for strong women in history was one of the reasons Faith Fitzgerald in Wild Things is a history prof and biography writer. Plus that's what she explained were her studies, so it's not like Karin had a real choice in the matter.
