In The Ink-Stained Revolution, we explore the hidden lives of the printer’s devil girls—young women and girls who worked in the dangerous print shops of the 17th and 18th centuries. Officially, the printer’s devil was a boy’s job. Unofficially, many of them were girls. Invisible, underpaid, and permanently stained with ink, they fed the presses, sorted type, and read every forbidden word before it ever reached the public.
These were the original information algorithms.
They knew which ideas spread.
Which pamphlets frightened authorities.
Which words meant war was coming—sometimes before the generals did.
This long-form, soothing history monologue traces how these overlooked workers became accidental conduits of sedition during moments like the American and French Revolutions, quietly shaping public opinion while remaining largely erased from the record.
