The story of the Robert Scott Expedition is one of the most well-documented exploration stories out there, but there's this entire other side of the story that's never been told - until a book by the name of Snow Widows was published. In today’s episode we’ll sit down with author Katherine MacInnes to talk about this incredible untold story.

In the 1890s, a group of women burst onto the American bike racing scene. That they were competing publicly was shocking enough. But that they forced to the fore the conversation about whether women should be athletes, made them women to be reckoned with.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Roger Gilles, the author of Women on the Move, a chronicle of female bike racers in the 1890s.

In this episode, we're going to talk about something that comes up every single October, and that is the Salem witch trials. But we're going to talk about this from a very specific angle. And hopefully it’s an angle from which you’ve not really looked at the trials before. So today we'll talk about an apology, a cover up and the so-called queen of hell.

Elizabeth Packard has just come out of the fight of her life. She’d spent three years locked in an asylum that she had no power to get out of. Her spiteful husband had committed her and used every legal tool at his disposal to silence her powerful voice. And now, he had taken her children from her.

Elizabeth Packard was a fighter. And there was no way she was going to lay down for this fight for her children and for the rights of married women across the United States.
