This week, Max and Allison discuss two women who became firsts of their kind. The first, a sharecropper in the Jim Crow south, became a forceful activist on the national stage; the second, an influential activist and lawyer, became the first black woman ordained as an episcopal priest: Fannie Lou Hamer and Pauli Murray.

On the bitch next door, Janette talks to Lily Mercer. You can find The Bechdel Babes here www.bbwritingpartners.com.
