The Lives of Women in History is a podcast about the fascinating and inspiring stories of women from colonial days to the early 1900s. These women settled new lands, traveled the ocean, drove covered wagons, built cities and communities, were cattle rustlers and bank robbers, educators and politicians, stood up against racism and fought for the right to vote, got married and raised families, and so much more. Hosted, researched, and written by April Rogers. I believe that every woman's story is worth telling, and I am passionate about sharing these stories with as many people as possible.
