Jenny’s Reviews > King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa > Status Update

Three times now in only 6 pages I paused reading to look up things and fell into rabbit holes of disgusting ways men have treated women and girls.

I'm not even in the Congo during its time of true crimes against humanity in Africa yet. We're still getting funding to build the railroad.

I wish I had a time machine and a bloody big hammer.

Fell into a rabbit hole about the 'London Committee for
the Suppression of the Continental Traffic in English Girls' and am feeling a certain way.

A violent way.

OK, I am going to bed.

I read back a line on myself instead of following the sentence underneath so the British Anti Slavery Society became the British Anti Humanitarians.

I fully and readily believed that in 1876 this was a thing for a good 5 seconds before upon going back to reread the name of the man who was in charge to cast a curse on him from the future I realised my mistake.
