This story is about a mysterious woman who didn’t let something like a silly idea about jobs women should have or not have, stop her from trying to do what she wanted.
So, Who is She? is about telling the stories of women the world forgot to mention and whose accomplishments were buried, forgotten or lost. This episode will feature one woman’s amazing story. Be sure to listen to the end where I will reveal her name.
