  • Text Publishing’s edition advertises Big Meg as: “The Story of the Largest and Most Mysterious Predator that Ever Lived”.

Truth in a tooth

    • In the absence of a fully fossilised megalodon discovery that might reveal its shape and likely weight, it seems there is still a lot of truth in a tooth.
    • The largest megalodon tooth yet found is “18cm from base to tip” and “almost certainly came from an individual that exceeded 15m in length”.
    • The shape of the tooth and its serrations confirm its job was to kill other marine mammals.
    • For now, the creature, whose arrowhead tooth once sat in his youthful hand – pointing him to the path of palaeontology – exists largely in his imagination: the “megalodon in all its terrifying glory”.

The Woman in the Wall: BBC drama about Ireland's Magdalene Laundries is essential viewing

Retrieved on: 
Friday, August 25, 2023

“This isn’t a prison,” a nun in the new BBC drama The Woman in the Wall says.

Key Points: 
  • “This isn’t a prison,” a nun in the new BBC drama The Woman in the Wall says.
  • Established in the 18th century, the laundries catered for so-called “fallen women” who had engaged in sex work or had a child outside of wedlock.
  • Laundries were just one of many mechanisms by which the Catholic Church and the Irish state regulated behaviour that was perceived as deviant.
  • The Magdalene Oral History Project and Waterford Memories Project address not only what it meant to experience these institutions, but also “what it meant to survive the laundries”.

Dramatising the laundries

    • The state’s initial response to the laundries was to claim that they were private institutions and the state was not involved.
    • An interdepartmental committee was established and its 2013 report found “evidence of direct state involvement” in the laundries.
    • A formal state apology was offered in February 2013 by taoiseach Enda Kenny, who described the laundries as the “nation’s shame”.
    • A redress scheme was established with women given ex gratia payments based on how long they were in the laundries.

Other depictions of the laundries

    • Films such as The Magdalene Sisters (2002) and Philomena (2013) have also explored this powerful subject matter.
    • References are made to a banshee (a female spirit in Irish folklore whose wailing foretold impending death).
    • The Woman in the Wall exposes the horrors of the Magdalene Laundries and in doing so seeks to ensure that such horrors will not be repeated in the future.
