Broads You Should Know

Broadly Speaking 14: Black History Broads - Part 2


Listen Later

It's (still) Black History Month, and the perfect reason for Sara and Chloe to continue strolling through all of the incredible Black Broads we have learned about since the beginning of this pod! This is part 2 of an episode whose first half aired last week.

We (briefly) revisit each Black Broad, spanning across time and the globe including Madagascar's Ranavalona I, II and III, to the revolutionary Three Queens of the Virgin Islands, Pharaoh Hatshepsut, Civil Rights Movement giantesses Coretta Scott King, Myrlie Evers, Pauli Murray, and Constance Baker Motley, abolitionists and modern activists, the woman who first invented the sanitary napkin, and of course the incomparable bell hooks.

If you're looking to increase the breadth of your Black Broads History, this is a great episode to dip your toes into and discover the stories that pique your interest most; the stories of the women whose voices have been the most ignored and silenced by the white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy: Black Women.

A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules. Broads You Should Know is the podcast about the Broads who helped shape our world!
