Episode 74: Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi

Have You Met Her? ·

2024/08/14

Women are capable, powerful, and brilliant. Period. Or should I say, even WITH their periods. Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi was a fierce advocate for women's education and used her medical training (which she fought to have access to) to scientifically PROVE that women who were menstruating were just as capable as men.

We're kicking off our month of celebrating Women in Medicine by talking about the first woman to be a licensed doctor in Japan... and the personal experiences that she went through that inspired her to challenge traditions and BE THE CHANGE that the world needed. It would be amazing if women were welcomed and well-represented in the medical field today, but we will be discussing an example of how (even so many years later) society STILL believes that women shouldn't be in certain fields

Episode 72: Zelda Fitzgerald

Have You Met Her? ·

2024/07/31

Zelda and her author-husband were the perfect mascots for the roaring 20s. Her personification of "flapper" was celebrated and copied by other modern girls during a time of cultural change and self-indulgence. Zelda's husband is said to have used his beautiful, young wife as a muse in his writings... but popular (and supported) opinions now believe that she wasn't just his muse, but an uncredited and unacknowledged co-writer. Zelda was a published author and shown artist during her life, but her

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.
