Happy Pride Month! Here's a sonnet from Wordsworth being a (questionable?) ally - about the Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby who were clearly just very 'good friends'...

1/7 Spanning three thousand years, from the first stirrings of Minoan Crete to the fall of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, #TheMissingThread by @daisydunn.bsky.social is a fantastic guide to ancient (especially Greco-Roman) history through an incredible cast of women who inhabited and often shaped it.
