Paper shredding seems a very old fashioned way to prevent identity theft. Anyone else still shredding sensitive documents?

Fiction fans! I loved this book on the life of Francis Perkins, first female Secretary of State. She was a life-long advocate for workers rights and laid the foundation for social security with F.D.Roosevelt. Inspiring and hopeful.
The front cover of a book titled “Becoming Madam Secretary” by Stephanie Dray. The picture shows the back of a powerful, well dressed woman in a blue suit jacket and skirt with a cliche hat walking determinedly towards the White House.
