Bitchy History

ProfessorMeredith

Part history lesson, part feminist rant. Bitchy History is what happens when a cultural historian finally snaps. Each episode unravels the myths America tells about itself, exposes the gender politics underneath, and traces the lineage of our modern disasters straight back to their historical roots. It’s educational, cathartic, and probably banned in Florida. www.bitchyhistory.com
