Two history graduates discuss the life of Annie Oakley.
Annie Oakley, the famous sharpshooter, had a difficult childhood. Despite this, she was very successful in her later life, becoming one of the most notable members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. She travelled across America and Europe, performing for royalty and political leaders and awing them with her incredible shooting skills that she had developed as a child to provide for her family after the death of her father. Annie strongly believed in women being able to practice self-defence, and advocated for equal pay throughout her life. This episode discusses the legend that is Annie Oakley, and all that she achieved in her life as one of the iconic figures of American history.

Two history graduates discuss the life of Hua Mulan.
Mulan is widely known in the West as a female warrior from the 1998 Disney movie, however her origins are far more complex than presumed. First mentioned in the Ballad of Mulan from the 6th century, her story has had a significant impact on Eastern culture and has been told and re-told for centuries. From plays to films to poems, the young warrior who takes up arms to protect her family has unsurprisingly been a popular figure throughout the ages. Today's episode discusses the origins of the legend, the debate on whether or not Hua Mulan was a real person, and the newly released Disney remake.

Two history graduates discuss the life of Princess Sophia Duleep Singh. 
Princess Sophia was an Indian princess, a suffragette and a revolutionary, according to the author of her biography, Anita Anand. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh was coerced into signing over his kingdom to the British Empire at a very young age, and was brought to Britain to the court of Queen Victoria (and presented her with the Kooh-i-Noor). Although Princess Sophia was a member of the upper class in British society, her life was filled with strife. Her rebellion against societal norms at the time and her prominence in the women's suffrage movement have been hidden in history, and in this podcast we attempt to highlight some of her many achievements.
