Mary McLeod Bethune was a change maker. She was a visionary. She was a bringer-together of people. She advised Presidents and multiple monuments to her contributions exist. But before all of that, Mary was passionate about educating those who society saw no need to educate: poor, black girls. With less money than I find in pockets on laundry day, her drive, passion and perseverance, Mary created an institution that changes lives.

Episode 16: Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera

Have You Met Her? ·

2023/06/14

The Gay Rights Movement needed the jumpstart that LGTBQIA+ people on the fringe provided. Marsha and Sylvia were two of many gender non-conforming people who provided that push. Although they were not given the resources or recognition - by society OR the movement - to achieve their full potential as revolutionary leaders, we have to marvel at their power of resistance and resilience. CW: This episode contains many triggering topics including rape, sex work, suicide, violence, and language that may

Episode 15: Daughters of Bilitis

Have You Met Her? ·

2023/06/07

Celebrate PRIDE month with me as I research & share about women who were important contributors to the LGTBQIA+ Movement and Community. Have you heard of the Daughters of Bilitis? If you haven't, it's at least partly because you weren't supposed to know about them. They were the first organized group for lesbian women. While their viewpoints are certainly outdated by today's standards, every movement has to start somewhere.... Visit our instagram @haveyoumetherpodcast to see a picture of the

Have You Met Her? ·

2023/05/31

When Maggie Kuhn was forced to retire at the age of 65, she was given a sewing machine as a gift. She never opened the box... she was too busy!

And then she found herself included in the marginalized group of old people. She responded with a loud proclamation that the elderly should NOT be hidden away. Older people had knowledge, experience, and passion and they still

Episode 12: Septima Poinsette Clark

Have You Met Her? ·

2023/05/17

Since this month we are talking about women advocates, I wanted to include a woman who played an important part in the Civil Rights Movement. After considering several women, I came across Septima Clark's name and knew that I'd found someone who I needed to learn more about. Septima didn't make powerful speeches. She wasn't in the photographs that document important parts of Civil Rights history. However, Septima's contribution is woven into the fiber of the movement, and was a contributing factor

Judith Heumann changed the world person-by-person. By connecting on a human level. She was a born leader who didn't let her fear keep her from changing the world for people all over the globe: those whose only limitations were those imposed by a society that didn't appreciate the potential of the differently abled, and those who were blissfully unaware of those limitations before.

Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz challenged the assumption that women were "beneath" men in New Spain in the 1600s. Her writings were controversial and ahead of their time. After learning a little bit about her life, it'll become clear why many people consider her the New World's first feminist.

Episode 6: Enheduanna

Have You Met Her? ·

2023/04/05

Before Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Dante or even Homer, there was Enheduanna. The Princess, priestess and poet that was the first person to write personal, first-person works. Not a lot is known, but I couldn't NOT include her in this series celebrating Women Writers. It's a shorter episode this week for this amazing woman, but hopefully still packed with new, interesting information that you find inspiring.
