Comment: I'm completely new to DYK so I'm not sure that these hooks are the best, but I think the topic of the article is interesting - it's about Elizabeth Stories, one of the first disabled women and working class women to publish her autobiography in the UK. The story of how she was disfigured by a doctor dosing her with calomel (mercury) and nitric acid is horrific.

5x expanded by Lijil (talk) and Discott (talk).
