2024/07/17

Join me this week to learn about the woman who was the greatest contributor to the discovery of the structure of DNA. The greatest... but an unknowing and unrecognized collaborator. She was also instrumental in discovering the complex structure of viruses and was able to locate the infectious element. Her life was cut way too short... a consequence of the invisible danger in the scientific tools at the time. The world is divided on how to reinsert her story into the "story of DNA" but after spending

Join me this week to learn about a woman who was granted 49 patents and created over 110 inventions. Known as "Lady Edison" she was truly so much more.

We're comparing the famous ride of Paul Revere to ANOTHER courageous ride this week. At the time of his ride, Paul Revere was a 41-year-old member of the militia. He was able to warn two men of the danger of their impending arrest during his 22-mile ride under a clear, dark sky. Sybil Ludington, a 16-year-old girl with no training, rode almost twice as far, in a dress, in the pouring rain to call the members of her father's militia back to his farm... over 400 men answered her call.

2024/06/26

Join me to learn about the amazing woman who is widely regarded as the mother of the LGBT+ rights movement. Barbara didn't have representation or information about it was like to be "gay," so she made sure that those who came behind her wouldn't have the same struggle. She advocated for queer representation in libraries and for the removal of "homosexuality" as a disorder in the American Psychiatric Associations DSM manual.

We're getting "PUNK"-y this week and talking about the front woman of the punk band X-ray Spex.

Episode 57: Janis Joplin

Have You Met Her? ·

2024/04/17

This week is a special tribute to one of my favorite singers… the woman who teenaged me was sure was the ONLY SOUL ever to exist that knew my pain.

Today's woman was known by many names: Mama Africa, the Empress of African Song, and Zenzi (her African name that was a gift from her mother). The world would come to know her as Miriam Makeba... and they would LOVE her talent and positive spirit. At least, until, she started using her voice to directly criticize the apartheid government of her home. Miriam was loud and proud and when people rejected her, she picked herself up and started again somewhere else. To watch Miriam rock Pata Pata,

Episode 55: Hazel Scott

Have You Met Her? ·

2024/04/03

Today’s episode was inspired by my son (and special guest!) who heard about Hazel Scott and made sure that she was on my list of women to research. She wasn’t just an incredibly talented musician, she was also a champion of civil rights. Hazel is the perfect woman to kick of our series this month celebrating Women in Music.
